[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8656388, member: 675210"] Well the Jeep is acting up yet again. The gauge on the dash is showing 12.9 - 13v but when I measure between the battery terminals with the engine idling it's reading 14.2v. I measured between the positive and the bolt on the nearest ground cable (negative terminal to body panel bolt - 6-8" long - 0awg) and it read 13.8v. So over a 6 -8" run of 0awg cable, it's losing .4v which in itself seem weird. I had the alternator tested in the vehicle and was told its fine. I did buy another marine terminal for the positive post to match the ground terminal and will be doing that Friday on my day off. I am getting frustrated though... the main reason I hate this Jeep is because of the electrical gremlins. If those were fixed, I would keep driving this hunk of ****. You just can't kill the 4.0L straight 6. Here is exactly what my positive and negative cables look like. [ATTACH]1131._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
