Okay, so i am reaching out for some help. I went to get in the truck yesterday and it all of a sudden wouldn't start. The voltage gauge on the truck read about 11ish volts, but when i go to turn it over all it does it click. So i get another vehicle and hook it up to the truck to jump it. The truck starts and runs perfect, gauge reads 14 as it should while driving. I decide it must be the batteries so i go to the local store and pick them up and install them, that leads me to where i am now.
Put the batteries in and the gauge still reads the same. I put a volt meter on the terminals and it reads 12.XX volts even when they are disconnected from each other. I check the starter and it reads the same voltage, but the gauge in the truck reads low. So i thought it was a bad ground, i hook a jumper cable from the engine block to one of the batteries ground and that changed noting. Any assistance in this would be awesome.
