Dead battery? Because of a bad alternator?

I don't believe so. We got it running via push start again. It seemed as long as I kept the RPMs up, it stayed running. I drove 60 miles or to a hotel in Flagstaff. It died at about the 55 mile mark but I was at speed, shifted in a lower gear, and it fired up again. Unsure if relevant/related, the gauge cluster goes out when the car dies?

What is the rpm at which it would stay running and below which it would die?

When it stayed running, was it running smooth?

Did it run very rough right before it died?

Check your battery terminal and make sure they are tight. You may be able to tighten with out any tools if you can rotate the battery cable to the right like you are tightening a bolt.
