Not really. You need to inspect the whole wire going from the battery to the alternator and inspect the harness at the alternator and check your fuses if you have one for the charging system.

I inspected it, it looks fine to me. No cuts, bumps, or anything. The hole cord, I'll have others look at it. Do you think it's that cord?

With it draining that quick I would narrow it down to a bad negative cable, positive cable, or the starter.

Could it just be the ends? I think I'll go the cheap way first and replace the ends. Then try the hole cable.

Replaced the alternator and the battery. But it keeps dying. What do I do now. Me and my dad have completely run out of ideas. Please help I have to work in the morning.
Check your fuse panel. Sometimes with new batteries the cables don't fit right and eventually blows a fuse. Are you losing anything else, other than battery voltage(Like dashboard lights for example)? If your fuses are all good-then I would say to try getting new battery cable connectors. And also please create a signature . Your signature will help in the future so people don't have to ask for information about your truck.

Before you replace them take some sandpaper to the insides of the cables where the attach to the battery posts and shine the livin crap out of them and try that.
