i tried to start my truck and it wouldnt start, i would get a crank ant then nothing, i took the battery to auto zone and it was almost dead, so there charging it right now. im wondering if its my alternator going bad and not recharging my battery, why else could my battery be drained over night. i now i didnt leave any lights on.

I get between 5-7 years on a battery

If it's a DieHard, they age like dogs, 1 year = seven for them. I've posted several threads on why I know this and hate Sears.

You could have something draining it overnight. I have a slow drain and got so tired of searching for it I installed a battery cutoff switch that solved the problem.

so when you put the key in and turn it to accesories, you dont get anything at all? If so check the wire coming from your fuse box under the hood that goes to the negative battery clamp. Mine broke off one time and i didnt ahve ANYTHING
