Something's up with my battery relocate. It's not getting a good charge. I have to jump it off each time I turn it off. I extended the positive to the rear of the truck to the cutoff switch then to the front of the bed to the battery and ran a ground to the block. I'm going to try and run a wire from the alternator to the battery and adding a ground to the frame right next to the battery. Hopeful that helps.

Is it possible that it's actually charging and it is just not getting enough OOOMPH back up the line to the starter? Or is it completely dead/weak when you turn the key on. I'd check battery voltage w/ a multimeter the next time you let it sit before you actually jumpstart it and see what the voltage is.. Then you can use the same multimeter to check voltage when it's running.
I've gone a couple relocates and a lot of times the run back up to the starter isn't heavy enough gauge wire to allow the current to flow.. I have since used welding cable as heavy duty as I can get and it usually eliminates the issue altogether.
If you're thinking about it next time post up some voltages and state if its running or not.

From the aeroforce interceptor gauge its 12.2 engine off, 12.7-12.9 with the jumper cables hooked up to the battery, and 13.3-13.5 at idle. I ordered 50' of 0 ga wire to rerun the positive cable. I'm going to run the current 4 ga wire to the alternator to help charge it and I'm going to add a 4 ga wire from the neg post to the frame. Hopefully that helps

I'm just curious what your boost VE table looks like, that's all.
In the tutorial, they have you raise the 105 kpa table by 300%. I've read that's really excessive and want some real world values.
