I changed the battery 6 months ago and twice it has failed to crank since. Is there something draining the battery?

Welcome to FTE.

Sounds likely that there is a drain somewhere in the system. Knowing more information about your truck, what additions you have on the truck (aftermarket stereo with amps, etc) would also help.

Whatcha got to give us?

Out of curiosity, how old was the last battery, and what caused you to change the battery?

If it seemed the battery wasn't holding a charge, it may be the alternator isn't working properly.
