starting problems

[delicawannabe2]

Good morning,
Last night I had to jump start my van. I drove around for a bit and made a few stops and it stated up just fine. This morning when I tried to start it, it turned over but it seemed like the battery was dying out again. As it was an original battery I went out and bought a new one and installed it. The same thing happened and and now the van doesn't turn over at all, just a click. Any Ideas? Voltage regulator? Also, I can't hear the click from the glow plugs which leads me to believe it's strictly an electrical issue.

could be the alternator. they go sometimes.

The glow plugs won't click if the battery doesn't have power and a new battery won't have power if the alternator isn't working. I would start there.

Get a boost and measure voltage across the battery terminals. Should be at least 14V. If not, alternator.
