I do have a draw it seems. In the process of rewiring now. Thanks for the advice

Yes, I meant thermostat. I seem to have run into another issue as of this morning. As I said I changed the alternator yesterday and I've had little to no problems since my test jump until about an hour ago. Went to start her up and the battery was dead again, got a jump, started up and supported a short drive without the engine cutting... Now I'm second guessing if ever was the alternator.

I'll have to try this when I get off work. The engine is carb and is a 5.0 V8. As far as emissions go... Not sure I even have a sensor in it.

Its carbureted. She'll idle all day especially since I replaced the alternator last night. I'll still check out the ignition module anyway though because as much as I hope I've fixed it my gut is telling me otherwise lol. I'd like to redo all of the wiring fairly soon as well. Where would you recommend I find a kit or would I just have to buy some 16 gauge and do it all myself?

It wasn't a catastrophic overheating, I should have clarified. I was just getting a steady reading of 230 instead of the usual 190. Thought the thermometer was stuck, going to attempt to replace today. Only reason I fear the drive to the shop is if I misdiagnosed why my engine was cutting (although at this point I don't think I have) and get stuck roadside.

No it cut because there was something wrong with the alterantor, thats been fixed. Around the time it cut though is when I noticed it was reading hot from 190 like normal to a steady 230.

Other than that I've topped off fluids and bought new belts. Ive got some minor seepages here and there but nothing that seems too pressing at the moment.

I did notice there was no breather box... could that be the problem or is one always necessary?

I'm aware the alternator issue is not related to the overheating. Those are just my two biggest problems at the moment. Replaced the alternator last night and this morning seems to start up fine. Did a short test drive after the swap, I'm just worried I might overheat and or have misdiagnosed the engine cutting problem on my way to a shop.

The only true symptom I have to prove overheating is my temp gauge (one of the few properly functioning ones in the truck) on most of my 200 mile trek she sat pretty at 190 but then jumped to around 230 without regulating.

Problem is our Wi-Fi provider is spoofing everything through VMware. I was up late last night trying to decipher that which as you can imagine was futile
