Ok I jumped the truck, got it started. I unplugged the battery and it kept running. That means my altenator is good? Why did the blade test not work? Could it be the regulator? Well I let it run for about 20-30 mins and turned it off. Then I tried to restart and it wouldnt even turnover once. That leads me to believe the problem lies in the battery. Do I need to be concerned with the regulator or altenator?
