Lately, my auto car starter (new) has had troubles starting my truck. It takes two attempts alot of times, usually in colder weather. Today My car wont start at all, with key or auto starter. Is this a battery problem? Or my starter? (I mean the actual starter, not keyless starter)

When you say it has trouble what kind? Clicking? Or nothing at all? If you hear a click, then either the battery is weak, or the starter, possibly bad battery cable connections, check and clean both ends of BOTH cables! Dissconnect negative(-) first, and put it on last!
