I repaired the oil leak, replaced the started and replaced the alternator only to
still have it not start.

Have you looked into the fuel system? Could be a fuel pump issue. Is it cranking at all? What does it do when you turn the ignition on?

Battery cables check both carefully I suspect ground. Make sure all ground wires are in place and clean especially battery ground to engine alot of amperage must pass through this circuit. Bad cables will cause starter to fail. Also just because volts test good doesn't mean sufficient amps are there . Cables are cheap and should always be replaced when installing a new starter. Maintenance is the cheapest repair. PS I drive a Ford.
