I changed out all 4 spark plugs with new. (one of the old ones had a smaller gap than the others) and now the motor fired up and is running more smooth than it has for a while. The plugs were only two months old and were taken out and wire brushed last month.

When I pulled the head off two months ago, I replaced the radiator as well as ran blue devil through the engine. This put a clog is the heater core coolant line and caused it to blow. I washed out the heater and replaced the coolant line. The lines to the radiator are in good condition and the thermostat is new after the blue devil. I will check the LP line into the truck for leaks.

Do you know at what voltage the alternator should be charging the battery? My battery says:
12.5 standing
10.5v starting
12.35v running Idle
12.35v running throttle up
12.35v with heater, lights, etc.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
