I have a Brand new battery and alternator . If I fully charge it it will stay charged if I don't drive it but if I drive it for like 5 miles and shut it of it wont start agian(turn over), Let it sit for an hour it will turn over and start

Alot of Fords, particularly larger engines suffer from the ill effects of heat on the starter. Try shielding the starter from heat.
Also, I think they make premium starters that handle the heat issue better than the oem/replacement units

They make heat tape-shield for starters. I'd wrap the starter.
