Yesterday I went wheeling for the first time in the new to me D90. Nothing tough, just trying to get a feel for what it can and can't do. I noticed the engine got quite hot quickly when crawling along in low range. I figured aluminum would do that but it also cooled down quick. It didn't quite make it into the red. The truck otherwise ran fine.
My problem was today when I went to go to work, the battery was stone cold dead. I thought the CB was on all night but a CB won't drain a yellow top Optima. So I jump it and off to work I go. The engine felt like it was chugging or missing at 2200 to 2500 RPM in second third and fourth gear. Didn't do that on the way home from wheeling yesterday. Then when I went to leave work the battery was stone dead again. As soon as the jumper cable was hooked up the headlights came on. I didn't even have the key in the ignition. My headlights are stuck on. I'm not sure if it's the Canadian daytime running lights module or something else. The tail lights were not stuck on. On any vehicle I've owned when daytime running lights are on the tail lights are usually off. Does any one have any suggestions? Where is the daytime running light module. US vehicles probably don't have one. I am viewed as wierd in the states because my headlights are always on. The fact is we can't turn them off unless we shut off the engine. Stupid Canadian Laws.
The vehicle in question is a '94 D90 nas soft top 3.9 V8 5 speed no air
