Mike&.you can get your battery load tested at almost any auto parts store for free. Although I would bet it is your battery (the correct number of hot AZ summers has passed and now it is time for it to die), you can have it tested and remove any doubt in your mind.
Yellow Tops are nice&.Ive used and abused mine and it keeps coming back for more.

Subject: [az_vjc] Battery Problems
First off, this is the stock DC battery in my 2000 TJ.
I had my jeep parked and went to start it and nothing. I have had no indications there were any problems until this. I noticed I had no power, a flickering dome light was about it. I popped the hood and the "dummy" indicator on the battery was black as night.
I got a jump and as I was driving home I noticed that the amp gauge (yes I know that it is not 100% accurate) was "pegged" @ 19. When I got it home I pulled the battery, and it appears to be toast. This is the original battery on a 2000 TJ so I figure that it gave up the ghost. Any one have any experiences similar, only to find something other than the battery? I am running some additional electrical accessories, but nothing extreme.
I am considering going to a yellow top Optima, anyone know where I can get one in the east valley tonight?
Thanks,
-Mike Hoyt

Hi all,
My 97 Dodge Ram was minding it's own business "sitting in my drive way" when a Dodge hater decided to hit it. "Probably a Ford lover"..... "They are always jealous of Dodges"
Of course the driver was unlicensed and uninsured....
I need the name of a GREAT shop that will treat me right, in accessing the damage to my truck. With such a huge group here I know someone works at a bodyshop or has had some good dealings with one.
I am in Mesa but would be willing to go anywhere that comes with a good recommendation.
Thanks in advance,
Shawn Passmore
P.S. If my Jeep wasn't in John's shop getting a full cage put in at the time, it would have been the one getting hit !!!!!!

I am not really worried about a discount I am just wanting the accessment/work to be done right!! I really dread the idea of what this is going to do to the resale value of the truck..
I have State Farm insurance and have already talked to them. they told me to take it to anyone I want to get the estimate on the repairs.

It sounds like you are right, the battery is dead. I would have it load tested to be sure, How far is your drive home? If you travel at all your alternator shold have given it a good charge.
You can pick up red top and yellow top batteries from Costco.

You can pick up red top and yellow top batteries from Costco.
good luck,
Shawn

Subject: [az_vjc] Battery Problems
First off, this is the stock DC battery in my 2000 TJ.
I had my jeep parked and went to start it and nothing. I have had no indications there were any problems until this. I noticed I had no power, a flickering dome light was about it. I popped the hood and the "dummy" indicator on the battery was black as night.
I got a jump and as I was driving home I noticed that the amp gauge (yes I know that it is not 100% accurate) was "pegged" @ 19. When I got it home I pulled the battery, and it appears to be toast. This is the original battery on a 2000 TJ so I figure that it gave up the ghost. Any one have any experiences similar, only to find something other than the battery? I am running some additional electrical accessories, but nothing extreme.
I am considering going to a yellow top Optima, anyone know where I can get one in the east valley tonight?
Thanks,
-Mike Hoyt

With new battery installed, it fired right up. Autozone checked the old one after leaving there for an hour to charge and it failed miserably. It was 3 years old so it was time I imagine. I checked, and I do not have draw when the jeep is off and the hood light is disconnected.
Thanks again,

So did the new battery fix your problems?
To make sure it's not masking anymore problems, "short" "drain" you could measure the voltage on the battery with the Jeep off...
Thanks I will keep impact auto body in mind.

Shawn, thanks, I just went and got a yellow top with the side posts from AutoZone, probably paid more but I needed it tonight. AutoZone carries them for $159.99.
BTW, read the post about the Dodge. I recently had work done on my jeep when the entire front end was smashed in and I took it to Impact Auto Body (McKellips and Greenfield) they did an excellent job. Their work was flawless.
Good luck on getting your car fixed.

I was wondering about what street tire pressure you folks are using in 35x12.5R15 Goodyear MT/Rs on a Jeep Wrangler. The tire store put in 30 psi, but I am thinking 25 psi is probably a little closer. I plan on using a caulk line on the tread to determine proper inflation, but want a good starting point. WIth 30 psi, the edges of the tread are obviously not touching the road.

I took my ZJ to the Discount on Grand and Peoria. It was doing just fine, but it was due for balance and rotation and I did not have time to drive to Rick's Discount. Well, now I seem to be getting a minor case of the Death Wobble between 40-51 mph. My tires are 32x11.50 BFG M/T. Could they have been balanced or rotated incorrectly?
Any input would be great.

My 97 Dodge Ram was minding it's own business "sitting in my drive way" when a Dodge hater decided to hit it. "Probably a Ford lover"..... "They are always jealous of Dodges"
Of course the driver was unlicensed and uninsured....
I need the name of a GREAT shop that will treat me right, in accessing the damage to my truck. With such a huge group here I know someone works at a bodyshop or has had some good dealings with one.
I am in Mesa but would be willing to go anywhere that comes with a good recommendation.

Subject: [az_vjc] Battery Problems
First off, this is the stock DC battery in my 2000 TJ.
I had my jeep parked and went to start it and nothing. I have had no indications there were any problems until this. I noticed I had no power, a flickering dome light was about it. I popped the hood and the "dummy" indicator on the battery was black as night.
I got a jump and as I was driving home I noticed that the amp gauge (yes I know that it is not 100% accurate) was "pegged" @ 19. When I got it home I pulled the battery, and it appears to be toast. This is the original battery on a 2000 TJ so I figure that it gave up the ghost. Any one have any experiences similar, only to find something other than the battery? I am running some additional electrical accessories, but nothing extreme.
I am considering going to a yellow top Optima, anyone know where I can get one in the east valley tonight?
Thanks,

Mike,
So did the new battery fix your problems?
To make sure it's not masking anymore problems, "short" "drain" you could measure the voltage on the battery with the Jeep off...
Thanks I will keep impact auto body in mind.

Shawn, thanks, I just went and got a yellow top with the side posts from AutoZone, probably paid more but I needed it tonight. AutoZone carries them for $159.99.
BTW, read the post about the Dodge. I recently had work done on my jeep when the entire front end was smashed in and I took it to Impact Auto Body (McKellips and Greenfield) they did an excellent job. Their work was flawless.
Good luck on getting your car fixed.

Mike,
It sounds like you are right, the battery is dead. I would have it load tested to be sure, How far is your drive home? If you travel at all your alternator shold have given it a good charge.
You can pick up red top and yellow top batteries from Costco.
good luck,

Thanks Stu, Shawn and others who replied.
I just got done installing a new Yellow top (34/78 with the side posts) and the jeep fired right up. I had autozone check the old battery after charging it and it was toast.
BTW, AutoZone carries the Optima, the yellow with the side posts was $159.99 (the red was 119.00). Surely not the best price I could get if I shopped around, but I needed to get it tonight.
Thanks again,

Mike….you can get your battery load tested at almost any auto parts store for free. Although I would bet it is your battery (the correct number of hot AZ summers has passed and now it is time for it to die), you can have it tested and remove any doubt in your mind.
Yellow Tops are nice….I’ve used and abused mine and it keeps coming back for more.

Subject: tire pressure
I was wondering about what street tire pressure you folks are using in 35x12.5R15 Goodyear MT/Rs on a Jeep Wrangler. The tire store put in 30 psi, but I am thinking 25 psi is probably a little closer. I plan on using a caulk line on the tread to determine proper inflation, but want a good starting point. WIth 30 psi, the edges of the tread are obviously not touching the road.

I took my ZJ to the Discount on Grand and Peoria. It was doing just fine, but it was due for balance and rotation and I did not have time to drive to Rick's Discount. Well, now I seem to be getting a minor case of the Death Wobble between 40-51 mph. My tires are 32x11.50 BFG M/T. Could they have been balanced or rotated incorrectly?
Any input would be great.
