it won't turn over after running and if i try to start it, it sounds like the battery is dead if I let it sit for a couple hours it will crank up and run fine any ideas

check your battery terminals if there lose it wont give the motor enough power to start this happened on mine and my brothers truck had to clamp the positive terminal with vise grips to get to the parts store
