I am some what confused, so the wire with the 2k amps runs directly off the batteries? And when the trucks on the alt puts.out 85 amps back to the batteries?

Very nice write-up! Can anyone explain a bit more about the little ball, though? What does it do, how did you remove it, what do you do if yours is missing, etc.

Gary, Quoted and placed in the thread! Thanks for the explanation!About the ball. The design is to allow trapped air to purge out of the cooling system back into the radiater. then when the coolant touches the ball it pushes the ball up to close off this pathway. Most times if you squeeze the top hose from the thermostat housing you can hear the ball clicking in the housing if its there and its not gumed up with corrosion.
About the hot wire being continuse hot.. Just follow the wire back to the solenoid and battery. Its always hot. So is the wire going to the glow plug solenoid. Its the yellow wires. Then the battery cable going directly from the two batteries down to the starter. That cable is always hot. If you feel this is not true just use a digital voltmeter and test this information...
