OK, to start with the Battery and Alternator are both brand new and the alternator I took off tested good at the autoparts store but i choose to replace it anyways with a new one. Truck starts easily with a jump start, you can tell when driving it that the power level is low and it just feeld sick. When turned off truck will not restart without a jumpstart. So what connections should I check? Also could this be caused by something other then a bad wire or connections?

Check the alternator fuse. What does the charge light/gauge on the dashboard read when the engine is running?
Secondly, have the charging system checked at autozone or somewhere like that. This way the entire system is checked, including wires and connections.
Let me know what the results are and i'll be glad to assist further.
