engine dying when hits temp
Drive down the road no problem till it gets hot then shuts off. It starts right back up and when you hit a bump or stop to fast it does the same. Always starts right back up and in winter hardly does it at all. When it happens all the gauges go crazy and fuel gauge wont work at all for rest of day. Any ideas snow is coming soon and love playing

You very possibly could be on the front end of a failing "crankshaft position sensor". It is not uncommon to have them suffer thermal failure (heat related), and when they fail, it's not unusual to have them cause problems with the fuel gauge and often the voltage gauge.
If you do end up replacing it, do yourself a big favor and buy a genuine MOPAR sensor from Jeep. Aftermarket crank sensors are very "hit and miss" with a lot of miss.
Good luck!
