I have a 98 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 Mag. Issue is that today when I woke up my batter was dead. I charged it by jumping it. Then I take it to work. I come back it is dead and now is not taking a jump. I had some heavy battery juice buildup around the connections. I took Coke and got rid of it. I was told by the Walmart people that the batter is good. So when I begin to drive I stop it dies, I can crank it if it do it quickly. But if I stop it dies. So I am thinking it is either an issue with the cables, alternator, and maybe the battery. I am thinking about replacing them all. However, I am low on cash. is there any way I can stop this cheaply?
