Check your ground wires and the connection on your starter wires.

you guys are retards, it's obviously a broken motor mount.

but naw, check connections, mainly grounds. no way to tell if your alt is out if the truck isn't running, and with a loose connection, all the charge from the alt. isn't getting to the battery, and the battery will obviously die because of it. so check your connections if it still clicks when you are jumping it.

once you get it running, put a volt meter to your battery. should be around 14volts with just the motor running. from there, you will see if the alternator is bad.

if all your connections are good, and the voltage reading rises from not running to running, and your battery just keeps dying, then replace your battery.

well you didn't mention the jump start part... once you get it up and running test the alt. and how it is charging the batt. then test to see how much draw your getting from your battery... and of coarse check connections and the alt. fuse. if all else fails take it to some one that can diagnose it in person!!
