So I have a 92 4 banger with 5 speed, I just put the new tranny in the truck myself. I thought everything was done right I drove the truck for a couple days. Then one day the battery died after driving it. I went to jump start it and it wouldnt start... then I burned myself on the bigazz alligator clips on the jumper cables. Triple checked the cables and they were on right, Im thinkin maybe a short somewhere. But i have no Idea where to look. ANy ideas?
 
If the cables are getting that hot I'd get your batt tested.

Sounds like it's toast.
 
which end did you burn yourself on? the jump vehicle or your truck?

sounds like the battery on the opposite end is bad (eg. if you burnt yourself on the jump vehicle end, your battery in your truck is toast...and vica versa)
