Push it off to the side, I go and get a car hauler load it up and go to the house.. The next day, I start it up on the car hauler and it runs for about 10mins then dies to not start again... Thanks to google and this forum I think I got it down to the crank sensor, Put a new one in and go to start it.. The Battery is dead, Jump it off with the truck and it starts up... Run for about 15mins and it starts kind puttering.. I look down Battery Light is on and it dies.. Battery is dead again.
So I put the charger on it for alittle while go out and check it, its reading 15.3 volts or so.. Start it, it runs good and I turn on the lights and stuff then put my meter on it.. After maybe 10mins it starts loosing voltage and putters again so I turn it off.. Seems like the Alternator is going out now? The battery is about 3 years old..
Thanks for the Help.

Get the battery tested first, it is cheaper and easier to replace. Start simple and work your way up the dollar scale unless you know what the problem is, why work down through the dollar scale.
