I have a 2000 jeep grand Cherokee limited 4.7L V8. I was gone for a month in a half tried starting my jeep up yesterday and nothing happened. I proceeded to jump it and it started right back up. But after idling it at 4000rpms i let off the gas then it just died. Do you think I need a new battery or a new alternator? Or could it be something else
