electrical problem
I have a 91 ford f150 gas/propane 4x4 my battery kept on dying , so I replaced the battery and wire ends, everything has been fine but when I go for a longer drive than usual when ever i turn off the engine I cant start it again the battery seems drained. my next option may be the alternator. a little help would be appreciated thanks

Whats the voltage at the battery when it's running?

Should be around 14 volts.

To be sure, use your multimeter and try checking at your battery posts to see if the results are the same.
