I've jumped vehicles before without waiting more than a few moments (the time it takes to walk from the batteries and start the car with the bad battery). Guess we all learned a bit from this experience.

As an FYI: the cables I used: 20 feet long, 400 amp and 6 gauge.

I ran the truck for about 40 total minutes last night, with about 25 minutes idling or revving it and 15 minutes driving it around town. I"ll try starting it again today or tomorrow and see what happens.

I checked the battery ground wire and it looked just fine. Also, the serpentine belt looked good, but I'll double check the next time I pop the hood.
