Thanks rusty ! Btw, Advances site can be real screwy, especially the "search" with me
Yeah i tried to enter year/make/model and once i chose everything it just reset.

Ive found alot of retailers sites suck. TSC's is basically unuseable

When you are checking, do you have the other end of the test light hooked to the battery positive terminal?

I'll give that a shot when I get back to my truck which is clear on the other side of the county. THANKS & WISH ME LUCK !

Headed back to truck this Wednesday but a little confused. Wherever else I check on the web the test light clamp is clamped to a good ground & then probed @ negative side of coil while cranking engine like I did. Am I missing something ? Please excuse my ignorance.
