Every time I start the engine it works perfectly fine. When I turn it off and restart the engine again the battery is dead. Then i have to jump start the battery and it works again. It keeps draining the battery eaxh time. I have replaced the alternator, new battery cables and etc. Any suggestions?
 
Have you done any testing?
Load tested the new battery?
Checked charging system output?
Parasitic drain test using a multimeter?
 
Do you mean when the engine is hot you turn it off then try to start it right away ? The starter clicks? If yes a hot no start needs jump I suspect the timing chain is stretched , providing you have a good starter,cables and battery. If you mean you shut it off and the next day you have to jump it you probably have a draw.
