That depends upon what the starter problem is. If the battery is exhausted, you can use another vehicle's battery, with jumper cables.

My f 150 pickup won't start have replaced battery and starter still wont turn over will start when jumped?
You replaced the battery, is it good?? You really haven't given sufficient info. Check the Battery, Cables, Solenoid, Starter. The way I read this is that you put in a new battery and the truck's engine will not turn over when you turn the key. When you jump the truck, it turns over, starts, and runs. Are you jumping from positive to positive and negative to negative on the batteries OR are you going battery post negative on the vehicle giving the jump to a frame, engine bracket, or body metal point on your F150? If you are going positive to positive/negative to negative on the batteries, then I suspect your new battery. If you are hooking the negative jumper up to a ground other than the negative post on your battery, then I would suspect a bad negative cable. Speaking of cables, did you clean any corrosion off of the terminals when you replaced the battery? Corrosion does funny things. If in doubt, replace the battery cables.
