GWagon Dies Immediatly after disconnecting Jumper Cables.

GWagon will not Hold a charge. Its a new battery and the Alternator is somewhat new (6 mo or less).

When I jump the truck, the truck will start, but as soon as I turn off the truck it will not start again unless jumpstarted.

Also I tried charging the battery for 1 hour, then turning on the lights to see if the lights would turn on, but no!, as soon as I discinnect the jumper cables, the lights will not turn back on.

I also jumped started the truck, and then i droive around for 1hr and as soon as i pakred and turned off the truck the she died.

Any Ideas?

Is your battery to body ground well connected? Start easy/cheap and work your way back.

I actually Fixed the problem, it was the Alternator. I actually fixed it myself. I bought a new alternator and squeezed th eold one out and then replaced it with a new one and now it starts up fine.
