Truck would not start had to have it jumped to get home. Changed the battery thinking that would solve the problem. New battery did not fix problem. Turn the key and it just clicks jump with another vehicle and it starts. I checked the ground behind the battery box with no problem there. Alternator putting out fine. I am at a lose can you help

If your battery is good, but you only get a click, my first guess is a corroded or loose battery terminal or connection at the starter. Also, check to make sure the ground from the battery to the engine block is clean and tight.

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if you get one click only or if several.
