The battery is good. I tried to start the truck and it will not turn over or click. It is like the battery is totally drained but it is not.

Hello,

Sometimes a battery appears to be good, but when a load is put on them like a starter motor will put on it, then it doesn't have the cranking amps to turn the motor over. I have included a link down below for you to go to:

You can also take your battery to the local auto parts store, like AutoZone, and they will put it on a load tester and check it out for free. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out and we will go from there.

Thanks,
Alex
