You probably have a bad ignition switch on the column. Dodge trucks have a wonky aspect to the ignition key switch. My Ram does the same thing. While parked, put the key in and try to wiggle the whole ignition cylinder. If it even wiggles slightly, the switch assembly (on the left side of the column, under the plastic) is probably your problem. You can buy aftermarket replacements for about 50 bucks. Pretty easy to replace. Youtube has a couple videos on how it's done.

Battery discharge when shut off is due to a connected add on in the truck,( 2way radio, some item plugged into the power plug, ETC). Also a bad battery will lose it's charge when not being charged,( I've seen brand new batteries do this, Have it load tested, Also the alternator can discharge the battery if the diode is defective. Depending on wiring set up the engine can shut off when you disconnect the positive cable.

you would need to use a Tailors Tape Measure(the cloth type)and go around all the pulleys except whatever you want to bypass.what ever measurement you come up with,that will be the length belt you now need in inches.then go to the parts house and ask them to look up the original belt for you vehicle so you can get the correct RIB(GROOVE)belt.then tell them the measurement you came up with to get the correct length belt.
