I have an 03 Dakota (v6) that will not stay running..
It ran fine up until I let a friend use it to run another friend home. When he got back, he left the ignition all the way back, which keeps the radio on. Next few days it reached about -30 Celsius and my battery completely drained.
I went to start it yesterday and it wouldn't even attempt to crank..
We've tried boosting it, as well as bypassing the battery by disconnecting the negative terminal and hooking up to that.

The engine starts but dies as soon as it fires.

Any suggestions?

a dead battery... look at the battery i guarntee you its puffed outt frozen cock solid.
buy a new one.

the sides will look like this ( )
do NOT run it at all, again EVER with that battery. very bad idea
