Default Help, What could it be?

I have an 85 Chevy SWB with an LS1 in it but lately I've been having some problems. About a month ago I could start the truck when it was cold but after I would drive it and it warmed up I could not start it anymore. When I would try to start it, it sounded like it was'nt getting enough power. The battery would keep going dead(have returned 4 batterys). Now the truck won't even start, it will turn over but won't start(WTF). Could it be the starter, the headers are only about an inch away from it? Help me out please.

Hey jessica how about you dont be a bitch. The guy has a ls1 hybrid that wont start, thats advanced enough for me.

Anyway, welcome to the board. I cant recomend to much other than to check if you are getting any spark. If you are then id check to make sure your fuel pump is working (can you hear it turn on when you turn the key?)

Your large cable between the battery and your starter is bad.

ditto, wrong section.
