My battery will not hold charge, had to be jump started this morning. Truck runs good once jumped, but in about 20 to 30 minutes seems like battery is being drained while engine is running, then stalls out.

Hi:
It sounds like the alternator is bad. Take the jeep to a nationally recognized parts store and have them check it. Most will do it for free right on the car, and usually it's a free service.

Let me know what you find. Also, if the alt shows good, have them perform a load test on the battery to make sure it's ok.

Let me know what you find.

Joe
