Default won't start after sat for more than 2 days.

Hi folks,

Please give me some hints.

Replace 2 new batteries and are doing the same thing. Batteries don't have enough juice to start the engine after sat for 2 days.

I tested the battery terminals when the engine running with 14.4V

I disconnected the neg terminal and check for load drawing when key off. Nothing is showing on the VOM.

2 new batteries are Bosch and AutoZone Gold.

Alternator? but I have 14+ volts?

You need to check the voltage of the battery after two days with it connected to the truck. If the battery is still showing >12v, it's very likely a weird starter problem.

Engine turns over for a couple times and went to tick tick tick....

I can jump start it and will be fine for a day, but after letting it sit overnight, next morning won't start again.
