New to me is my Ecodiesel, this is what it was running temp wise on I-95 doing 75mph with the outside temp of 100℉. From what I have read in the Ecodiesel community, this isn't bad, it's when the EOT gets to 245℉ and ECT to 228℉ that it will go into limp mode. Also, my volts stayed at 13.3 for the 3hr drive down to Sumter SC and 3hrs back. Think I might need a battery, or at least the small auxillary one. Jeep has 48k miles on it. Not sure of what year the batter was installed. Most in the Jeep world seem to love the Odyssey, not sure I want to pay that price, found it for $320 online.

Also, Mike Rowes podcast are very interesting.

Voltage during driving has virtually nothing to do with battery capacity and life remaining - it's a function of the alternator performance.

With active battery management on modern vehicles like yours, it's hard to determine appropriate running voltage as the system will stop charging the battery and let it rest on longer drives.

I'd use a battery tester if I was concerned about battery life. Ideally using a carbon pile battery tester as the cheap ones used by auto parts stores can be less than reliable. If it cranks up fine, I'd keep running it without worries.
 
My Dad and I a few months before he passed away last year at 89. I'm glad that I was able to take him for a ride in my '63 C10 which is similar to the one he had back in the day.
