I don't know if this is a common problem, but here is the situation.
After work I got in my truck to start it up and nothing. First thought; I left something on, but checked that and nothing is was. So then the fuses. All o.k. I tried the truck again and nothing , I mean no sounds, no starter, nothing. So I tried to jump start it. Nothing again. I was fumbled. So I bomb started it and... it ran! I was pretty happy till I tried to coil up my winch cable, it killed the engine. No problm just rev it up a little. But I had to bomb start it again for it to run, but the wich wouldn't work it kept trying to kill the engine.
I wrapped the cable around the bumper and started to drive home on the highway, I turned on the lights and the heater and... dead, luckly it started on it's own because of my speed. So drove it all the way home and parked it. I tried starting it up and nothing.
The thing is I could understand if it was the battery, but it is two weeks old, and when it was under another power source it didn't do anything different. Then there is the alternatore, but I was always under the assumption that I couldn't run off my battery that long ( Langly to North Burnaby ). Then there are the gauges, when I turned the key to the on position everything went on, but when I turned it to start, it all went dark.
Any thoughts? Comments? Or anyone wishing to laugh?

Hey! If it's broke put more money into it, it may not have worked last time, but it should now!
