    Have a 79' cj7. New battery, alternator, cylinoid. My battery keeps getting totaly drained while driving. No knobs or switches are on. Any idea what might cause this?

    Perform a parasitic drain test. Check out ericthecarguy.com for his video on parasitic drain. If the battery gets drained while driving then the focus should be on the alternator. Get the charging system checked at your local Advance/Autozone
