Please Help, Starting Problems!!!!
 

I have a '93 F 150 4 X 4 5.0L I gave a Jeep owner a jump start the other night, left the truck running for about 15 minutes after. About an hour later I tried to start it. The first try to start it came close to turning over, then the second try nothing, just a clicking sound. Tried jump starting it and nothing, just a clicking sound again. Replaced the altenator today and still the same problem. Does anyone have a suggestions that might help me get my beauty back on the road.

Thanks for reading

Update:

I replaced the selenoid today, no help. Back to the drawing board. I am removing the starter and getting it checked next. I'll keep you all posted on what the trick is.

Update:

Took the starter in and it was shorted, got a new one and the motor cranks like a champ now!!!!

So 1-Altenator, 1-Selenoid (SP), 1-Started Later, and 3 hours of frustration Later, the F-150 is back on the road.
