2004 F350 electrical

I am a new member and yesterday I had to jump start my truck(2004f350). I tried jumpstarting with a jump box, but wouldn't start, had a friend come over and we jumped with her suv, anyway it started up and I noticed that the radio would'nt work, the dome lights don't work, also the warning lights stay on and none of the gauges work. When I turn on headlights the clock comes on the radio, also the windows don't work. I tried all the fuses and cleaned all the battery cables and I am at a complete loss. Thanks for all your input

If it is a 6.0 you need new batteries. All kinds of strange things happen when there isn't enough juice.

I have the V10 and I replaced the battery in March, I going to try and take it to a shop tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to fix it myself.

Start with the simplest stuff. With the engine running, what voltage do you have on the battery? When my alt/battery had issues a couple of years ago, when the voltage would drop low, I lost everything, but the engine kept running, barely. No gauges, no radio, no power windows.
