Welcome to the site!
Could you give more detail on 'kills the battery out'?
Was the truck running before the head replacements?

You have a loose or dirty battery cable connection or ground cable connection. Possibly a bad, internally shorting, cable. . Most likely you will find the problem with a dirty or loose cable near the battery. Did you clean the inside of the cables good when you installed the new battery?
