Default Odd problem

So today for the first time ever i went to start my truck this morning. As soon as i turned the key the doors locked and the truck acted as if the battery was dead and it cranked really hard to start the truck. I thought nothing of it however it did it again as i was leaving work same exact symptoms.

Just wondering if this is a problem or if its nothing i should worry about?

Sounds like you need new battery. Mine did the same thing.

Start your truck and take the positive terminal off the battery with it running and if it stalls it's your alternator if it keeps running it's your battery..
