I recently replaced the battery, van ran fine for about 2 days. Then it would not crank, jump started van it cranked rightup, I drove the van around hoping to charge the battery. Next day same thing happened, van would not crank. Just wondering if the alternator is bad or what might be the problem.

You may have something drawing down the battery overnight. First have the alternator and battery tested, this can be done with them both in the van. If you have ameter, measure the voltage at night when you park it, then in the morning when you go to start it to compare the surface voltage of the battery.
