Default New battery starts the truck

Update: Yeah...just $380 later, new starter, new alternator and new battery am good to go. Just need to tighten the serpentine belt a bit and we're back in business.

The guy at the auto parts store said oftentimes those 3 components are interrelated....if one goes, the others might too. Not bad for 100k+ miles.

Thanks for your help.

One last request, is there an efficient way to tighten that belt? Not sure where to get leverage in that space. The truck starts, but the belt squeals. Is the best way to just muscle it up?

Thx.
