Hi again
It should not have shut off while you were driving it. Have you checked alternator output? Also, and I believe you said you did, have you checked the main ground to the engine block as well as confirm that the battery cables are in good condition and tight? Honestly, if you have checked all that and it turns slow when being jumped, it sounds like a bad starter. Do this, lets check the battery first. Do the load test I suggested in the last post. If it is good, then I suggest seeing if the alternator is doing its job. Here is a link for that:

If that passes, then I suggest removing the starter and having it bench tested at a parts store. Most will do it for free. It may be bad internally and drawing too many amps.
Here are the directions for removing the starter. Also, there an exploded view of the starter so you can see all components.
I really feel it is a bad connection (ground at engine) or other connection or the starter itself is bad.

Let me know what you find. Also, a 500 CCA battery should turn the engine with ease.
I will watch for your reply.
