Ok so here's whats happening. My truck will not start on its own but after maybe 20 seconds of jumping it with anoter truck it starts up fine and runs fine. I just had the alternator replaced 4 months ago. When I turn the key nothing happens. No clicking no nothing. I do run a train horn and compressor and 2 10" subs. Are the accessories killing my alternator or is it something else? Help me out cause im stuck.

Load test the battery and the alty-double check your connections. This kind of problem can lead to Ignition switch, NSS, Starter relay, and Starter.

Maybe you need a high output alty to carry the load for your ghetto blaster.
