    Welcome to tacoma world, when you disconnect the battery while the truck is running it wants to die?
    Or after you disconnect the battery and reconnect it the truck wants to die?

    Check out the San Diego BS thread in the SoCal section, lots of good guys in the area that can help.

    Uhhhhh, grammar much?

    I think what you're asking is "Why does my truck die when I unplug the battery?"

    If so, why are you disconnecting the battery while the truck is running in the first place?

    Or, If you are checking the alternator and the truck dies while unplugged, you have a bad alternator.

    In simple terms, the battery only produces juice to the vehicle when the motor is not running. Once running, the alternator produces a current within the coil and recharges the battery, this is how you maintain +/-13 Volts when running the motor. After you turn the motor off, the power source is switched back to the battery. This is why your battery will die if you leave a light on overnight or leave the stereo playing for too long.

    If I am wrong, or you meant something else, let me know. I'm sure others could chime in too as long as we understand what you are asking.

    could you be talking about that small pump that runs for a while sometimes?

    A trap of the American Educational System? OP was a child that was "Left behind".

    As you can tell, the system has failed again. People now type like this poster above^^.
