    The ignition switch isnt sending a signal to started and my alternator isnt getting a full 12 volts. Was able to jump it with a wire. But cant start it.

    Is the engine turning over when the ignition key is turned and not starting or just clicking or nothing?

    What happened when you jump started the vehicle, did it turn over?

    Check the earth wire connection from the battery to the bodywork!

When there's a short in the battery which means the battery is bad it'll trigger the battery light. Hope this helps.

    ITS a new battery. and I also had my alternetor and starter tested both fine. I just had my engine rebuilt 2 weeks ago.

    Well then it sounds like you have a short somewhere, you're going to have to have your wiring checked and the fuses because that's the only thing that would trigger that battery light will be the battery or the alternator start checking fuses and check wiring

hello, it sounds like the alternator is the problem, most auto parts stores can check the alternator/charging system at no charge without removing it from the truck, I'm sure you will find that the alternator needs to be replaced.
