battery like coming on is the charging system. I would say you have bad ground or your alt is dying. I would start with getting the alt check at local parts store. Alt removal is easy just drop it out the bottom after getting the bracket off it.

Seems to be running hotter than normal...Hmmm...Did you fill the engine with coolant/water 50/50 mix on the upper radiator hose.
