1996 Chevy Tahoe starting problem?

[jesse p]

Hello...Question for ya! I have a brand new battery and truck is just giving me a problem starting? When I turn the key to start it, it just won't turn over? Just keeps cranking...no clicking sound or battery doesn't die? But if I hook up the charger and jump it, it starts right up? I'm alittle confused about what's going on? Is it the starter or could it be just the starter solenoid? Or maybe just a bad cable from the battery? Thanks for any replies or help!!!!

Wow! That's an old truck. It sounds like that truck is going to die soon. Sorry I wasn't much of a help, but I can offer some advice. If you are going to buy a new car, do not buy anything american. American cars are built for short life. Your old truck was the original era of tough trucks. Today, all the american auto dealers are set up to make cheap cars that won't last. The auto companies want you to buy a new car every 5 years. What I'm saying is, you buy a new american truck, lasts 5 years. You go to the same dealership and buy another truck that lasts 5 years and so on. If your going to buy a car, buy from a reliable company like Toyota, Honda, on German autos. Just a little advice.
