truck wont start.electrical problems.
went to town this moring and shut my truck off for 2 minutes only to find that it wouldn't start. at first it just clicked but the secound time i tried it wouldn't do anything so we boosted it with a buddies truck and it barly started. once it was going the amp guage was all over the place. batery and alternator were both new within the last few months. truck is a 94 f150 302.
any ideas what could be wrong?

If you have charging problems the regulator is inside (on the back) of the alternator.
