Battery Drain
I have a '90 XJ Wagoneer, I have had the battery tested 3 different times at 3 different places: ALL say my battery is in excellent shape. Replaced my alternator with an upgraded one. Still sometimes, mainly when the vehicle is started and driven within the first 5 minutes it almost wants to stall out, occasionally it will, and my battery gauge drops. Once the vehicle is warmed up and I pull up to stop, the battery gauge will drop however it will not stall out. Could this just be something stupid/ basic like a ground?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help.
might also want to check your sensors with a multimeter to make sure they are in spec (tps, idle come to mind).
