Now I really have an incentive to track down my electrical problems.
Jeep was not running that good today...if I stepped on the loud pedal
a little more then it would come alive and do great, but it felt
"choppy" below around 3000 RPM. I noticed my voltmeter was only
reading about 12.1 volts today while cruising down the highway.
Normally it's right around 14 volts. I'm guessing the battery is on
its last leg, or the alternator. I think the alternator. It needs a
tuneup, too... Gonna bring the battery over to Advance Auto and have
them check it out and if it's ok I guess I'll throw an alternator on
it. If I put a voltmeter across the battery terminals at idle
shouldn't I see around 14 volts or so? And about 12 volts with the
Jeep not running? Hmm... Maybe I should RTFMs I bought for it.

Not sure about Advance Auto, but AutoZone will check your alternator and
battery for free too.

Awesome! I just called the one that's about 8 miles from my house and
they confirmed this, and the best part is that they said they can test
both of them while they're in the vehicle. Very cool. Thanks,
twaldron! :-)
