Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have a 2011 Honda pilot with 170,000 miles I had
a rebuilt engine replaced last year and a new
battery now my battery keeps dying and I’m
wondering if it is the alternator in my truck is also
making weird noises. I left this morning for work
and my battery was dead again

Cranking IS turning over , it cranks ( turns over ) but won't start . You probably have a parasitic drain on the battery which requires an honest technician .
Those are classic signs of an alternator going out. It no longer properly recharges the battery. Get the charging system checked out. A car parts store is a good, inexpensive place for this.
Also, have the battery load tested. If it's more than a few years old it's probably weak and needs replacing. Hope that helps! Jim
