Default i think my XJ is getting tired of me..

well im gone all week driving my butt off from place to place. and i finally get back to the yard this morning and was glad to see the ol' XJ...but i dont think it was glad to see me...i try to start her, notta.....not even the little light under the hood...

well, finally we get that jumped and i get on my way...well then i got half way home and the temp gauge shoots up to hot..so i right away pull off into a ditch and check it out....pop the hood only to find the heater control valve fried with coolant going everywhere from the hoses..

so i had to have some one bring my WJ to me and pull it home...

so instead of coming home and doing something fun after a long week on the road, i got to spend most of one outa the 2 days that im home working on that piece

ah well, later im going to a friends and getting drunk...so itll all be good then

and no, im not driving home drunk..im staying over there...

being a truck driver im only alowed to have a 0.04 tolerance level on alceehal...so thats like a 1/4 of a beer and im illegal..lol

I think that is only when you are in a commercially registered vehicle

Does your Jeep have the Ignition Off Draw fuse in the Power Distribution Box under the hood? Mine does, and when sitting for long periods it can be removed and placed in an empty space and then the battery won't go dead.
Sorry about your luck though.

thanx guys...im not sure if it has that or not blue..ill have to check it out..

this is way i like my WJ...no matter what you leave on, as long as the ignition isnt on after so long it shuts down all the electricity so the battery wont run dead...very nice feature

nope...its for what ever you drive if you have a CDL...atleast thats what ive been told..no matter what your driving, truck or car, if you have a CDL and you get pulled over for something, it effects the CDL all the same

Wrong.. The .04 is only for CDL registered truck. Anything else is .08.
