truck it wouldnt start. Popped hood there
was a stray cat under hood. He got a jump
start truck started fine. When he next turned
it off and tryed to restart it will only start
with a jump start other wise its just clicking

Replace the battery... But first check the starter relay and battery relay.. Then need to check ur alternator output and input..
