Thanks for your post.

In order for us to give you more accurate advice and help, we must know the following, along with detailed information as to the symptoms/problems etc:

From a teacher -- short and to the point

In the world of hi-tech gadgetry, I've noticed that more and more people who send text messages and emails have long forgotten the art of capital letters.

For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement:

"Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse."

Is everybody clear on that?

I understand that all jeeps are not the same mine is a 1998, XJ, 4.0 auto as for the trans and transfer case i really cant say i have no idea

A simple hand held voltmeter would be needed.

I have a complicated one and i don't know what setting to put it on to test properly i have never needed to use one before

DC scale.

Touch red lead to positive post on battery and black lead to negative post.

Take reading.

Start Jeep. Repeat the procedure. Take reading.

Report back.
