Default No Go Disco

Need some help. A few weeks ago I replaced my battery. It was dead a couple of days later. So, alternator. I had it rebuilt and reinstalled it. Last evening, I went to start it, and it sounded like my starter was dragging. I figured I'd deal with it this morning, and now the truck is completely dead. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like you have a larger than normal draw on the battery when the vehicle is switched off. Have you recently installed any aftermarket accessories that use power like stereo, lights, etc? If so I suggest you disconnect temporarily to see if the battery problem goes away.
