F100 runs but when shut off it will not start again. Alternator light works when I try to start again. If I jump battery truck will run fine until I turn it off and try to start again.?

Try having the alternator checked at a local parts house, off the truck and on. If it tests good on a bench tester, then bad on truck, then you might have a bad voltage regulator or wiring problem. If it's an older Ford, (should be if it's a 100), then the regulator should be separate from the alternator.

Is it the alternator if the car starts then after 10 hours the battery goes dead and does not start but after running for a few minutes starts again?
Most likely it will not be the alternator. It sounds as though the alternator is working very well. It will be a faulty battery or a battery drain due to something left on or shorted out. Usually a boot light or glovebox light or recently fitted stereo.

How do you start a 1996 Corsica that has died on the road and will not even crank over?
your battery is dead charge it i do not recommend a jump if it won't crank ,brefore you do that check the teminal connector if it is cracked ,broken or loose. After you start,turn of the car ,then start it again but watch the dash board light to see the alternator signal light which is the battery sign.if it light up the alternator is fine if it does not you may have about an hour and a half to get to a mechanic before your car dies again.

If the alternator is not working the battery gets discharged. In most cars a light will show on the dashboard - battery light icon, and this will suggest fault in the battery or alternator. You will need to start the car and check if it is charging the battery, and most garages will do this check for you
