It might be the alternator because it sounds like the battery is slowly dying.

Re: Non starting 240
Hey...
Make sure the battery posts are clean and tight, check the 25 amp fuse near the power steering resvoir to make sure it's nor coroded - it controls the fuel pumps so while your cleaning the battery terminals its a good time to clean. |

Re: Non starting 240
Good advice about the alt/batt connections. Swing by a good parts store and have them check it out for you...They should; check voltage from the alternator, check the battery under load with a tester. You should; clean the battery connections, insure the battery acid level is ok, and call first to insure the parts place have(and will) do the testing for you when you arrive. Good luck
