I have a 1984 Dodge ram which is draining the battery. Tightened belt, changed battery, brand new relay, had the alternator tested and the garage say its fine..... Any other help from you guys? I get about 10 starts then battery is drained and dead. Don't want to throw more money at a new alternator if there is anything else Ican try first.

did you check the voltage at the battery with the truck running? sounds like the power might not be getting from the alternator to the battery. could possibly have a bad fusible link
