Will a dead battery keep a 1993 warrior from running good?
My battery is dead as a doornail but if i jump start it, she runs just fine. So i would say no. As long as you jump it, it should run. Im not 100 % sure, but mine runs even with a dead battery.
What if your truck will not hold a charge and battery is fine?
Either the battery is not fine and has a dead cell, or something is on pulling power from the battery. Any light on or stuck relay will drain the battery overnight.

Recently bought a 2001 4runner 1 week later the battery was dead replaced the battery and 11 days later the battery is dead again alternator is good no lights are being left on what could cause this?
A little more info would be needed [how long was it parked],,The first thing I would check is the alternater,,the brushes can stick if nearly worn out,,a simple bump in the road can jar them loose and it will work[and test] just fine.. I've seen stange things drain a battery,,[a faulty switch in the glove box,you can't see the light on because the door is shut]
Is the alternator bad if the battery died suddenly?
You could have a dead cell in the battery I drove to work one day , everything seemed fine when I parked , when I came out to leave a little over 9 hours later , the remote wouldn't work and I had to use my key to unlock the drivers door , the vehicle would not start , the underhood light would not come on , I noticed the door chime would not sound with the drivers door open and the key in the ignition . A co-worker boosted my battery so the vehicle would start , I drove to the Ford dealer and it turned out to be a dead cell in my battery , which is what I figured , but they had to do their tests to be sure

Why would a car start one day but then the next day it doesn't because the battery is dead and then you give it a jump and its fine I had the battery and the alternator checked and they were fine?
Check your red battery cable line. The same thing happened to me and it turned out to be that the red battery cable line was damaged. I had to replace the terminal because the cable line damage cuased it to burn out.
Why would a vehicle not start after being driven daily and running fine 2002 ford ranger edge v6 engine turns over fine but does not even try to start?
When you open the hood does your underhood light come on ? or if you have the key in the ignition with the drivers door open do you hear the chime ? If not , it sounds like a poor battery cable connection or a dead battery / dead cell in battery ( you don't mention if the engine cranks )
