Ok...the other day, it's like minus 5 outside....start the Wrangler, no issues....let her warm up a bit and then put it in gear....the 'check guages' light comes on...I notice that the battery gauge is pegged to the right....I get to where I'm going and turn it off, turn it back on, battery gauge is back to normal now....but the 'check engine' light is on....I am assuming that is most likely due to the the battery gauge pegging out on me....correct?

safe bet those events are connected. If it was me i would just disconnect the batt for a few minutes to reset the check engine light and drive it for a week to see if it comes back.

Well, it seems to have taken care of itself....light was on Friday....gone this AM.... :)

I have noticed with this nasty cold weather a lot of peoples alternators going bad, I don't know if maybe because the batteries are freezing so bad that proper charging isn't working and may be some of your problem
