electrical problem with 2.9?

[ajmiller]

Alright so a couple weeks ago i was driving my truck to a football game, went over train tracks and about 45 mph, and the thing just died. First i thought it would be my inertia switch, but it shouldn't go off after that? Stopped and tried to turn it over, nothing. Hit the spot right next to my glove box and she fired right up. But ever sense then while i am driving it will just start to give out and it feels like shes gonna die but when i push in the clutch it stops. Im thinking its an electrical problem because it does it for a little, then stops for about 10 miles then gets worse. Last night i drove it and it just died when i took a sharp turn, so while i was rolling i put the thing in 2nd and dropped the clutch to start it, she started but one of the belts was squeaking for about 10 secs. now im thinking the alternator.... =\ what do you guys think?

If it were alternator, it wouldn't keep the battery charged enough to start it.

Check your grounds, battery cables, fusebox connections, anything electrical, look at it and touch it.

You can jumper the two wires for the inertia switch temporarily to see if that is it.

check over all the ground connections and battery cables

giving the vacuum lines a look see would hurt either
