Ill have to check the ammeter, the needle moves so it is working, I just havnt paid much attention to it as the truck is running, I was looking more at the temp.
I do have to hook up the charger after it runs, the charger then tells me the battery is drained completely, it has % charged readout. Its brand new as is the battery.
As far as the radiator Ill have to check the thermostat. I was just wondering if the cap would make that huge a difference in letting the fluid out of the overflow so quickly.
Thanks all!
