Well you should do a load test on that battery if you didnt already.Lots of times you can charge a battery up but it wont hold a charge or wont hold a charge very long.If its the kind of battery you add water to,does it have a cell thats dry?If it is a battery like that you can check it with a hydrometer and see if its bad.Also a battery in a grain truck like that where it gets lots of vibration,hitting ruts in the road shaking stuff around maybe can cause a battery to go bad quicker than it would in another vehicle.Then the alternator or the wiring could be not getting a charge to the battery.You could take the alternator and have it checked and it show its charging,then put it on the truck and because of the wiring the charge not be getting to the battery.There are several wires on the solenoid besides the wire that goes to the starter.One goes to the ignition switch and the others go to other things like the alternator which is how it charges the battery.Ive seen this happen where somebody put a new cable on the solenoid and the wire to the alternator fell of and they didnt see it,put new cable on and now it wont charge.Also I have had an alternator checked at one place that said it was alright,then took it to another that said it was bad.A lot of times they do a good job testing stuff,but once in a while they dont.I wouldnt trust their test 100%.If the test shows good then it kind of points to wiring.There are fusible links in wiring that can burn up when you hook up jumper cables or hook batteries up backwards or things get shorted out.You might need to take an ohm meter and check the wires for being burned in two inside the insulation.
