    So i got up this morning to go to school and the truck wont start, no clicks ticks nothing, but the clock, lights stero all that junk turn on. So i think its the battery. I pull my dads truck out and try to jump it. on his truck i have positive to positive and negative to a ground negative on my truck. thats the way i have always done it. scangauge yesterday was saying 12 volts on the battery, i little low but i wasnt concered. now with the cables hooked up its saying i only have 11 volts. Still nothing...So i think its the starter but i want to try one more time. (the truck has been sitting hook up to my dads truck which is running, and now she try to start) so at this point i am almost sure its the battery. I am getting a couple fast clicks from the starter. my dad thinks its the starter i think its the battery. what do you guys think?

    P.s. i know that was a little hard to read but i am in a hurry at school and shouldnt even be on the computer...sorry.
