Batteries died after stud install??

Any idea what would have caused this?? You think they are just bad or something not hooked back up or

thought about going and buying 2 new batteries but figured I would ask here first.

check for a draw, and make sure your alternator is putting out. You had the truck in a hundred pieces, it's easy to have left something loose.

ok batteries are reading good. when i open the door the bell sounds fine. turn the key backwards for the radio and it works fine. but when I turn the key forward the lights go nuts on the dash flickering and what not, door chime sounds like it wants to die. Whats wierd is that every once and awhile it will act fine glow plugs will charge and when I go to crank nothin? then the lights go hay wie again? Any ideas?
