Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking it's the battery. I had one in a new Wrangler go bad in about 2 years. I took that to a Jeep dealer and they checked it and replaced the battery under warranty while I waited. I'm going to take it over to the dealer and have them check it if they can do that while I wait with no appointment.

The dealer put the 15W-50 in it last August. They had installed the cam and headers a few months earlier and in August when I took it in for an oil change they said they were putting 15-W50 in all the modified cars. I wondered if it was necessary, but figured it couldn't hurt with the lows in the 80s and the highs over 100.
