She lives!

Alright so I finally got around onto working on the jeep and put in a new altenator. Now when I jump start the baby she stays running. I can drive her around no problem but once I stop and turn the jeep off she doesnt turn back on! She wants to but hesitates but isn't getting enough power. I JUST changed the starter a bit ago, what could it be? Maybe charge the battery?

Yea definitely the battery is the next place to look (easiest also) - charging it might not help if it is too far gone, buy a new one, your always going to need another battery at some point if that isn't the problem now.

Check you battery connections, look for a bad wire going to the battery post, right where the wire goes into the terminal for the post

Your battery is toast, time for a new one.
