Re: 96, shudder at 40-45 MPH?

Battery died?......How is the alternator?, sometimes they go out together......battery dies, pulling a LOT of current and burning out alternator.
Or.....Alternator dies and battery discharges.
Anyhow, I would verify that the battery is getting charged.......

I don't see the problems you mention causing the battery to suddenly die or cause some sudden current draw that kills the electrical system.
