When it dies does it loose power, sputter and then die, or does it just drop dead like a switch was flipped. A slow die is fuel, a fast die is electrical. Fast die, I would be looking at the crank sensor if the battery cables are tight.

If the lights and radio are not shutting off, then it'* not battery. I would inspect the ignition wiring harness and then the crank sensor. When that sensor dies, the engine will not run.
