Heating up??

O.k my 1995 F-350, with a 5.8 windsor has been having cooling problems lately. I noticed this when I was would get up to highway speeds the temp gauge would rise up at a good rate. Then if I slowed down it would could down. Now it has been doing it around town too. So I replaced the thermostat and it still heats up. Also I have not noticed the fan clutch kick on either. So I though it could be that too. And the radator was repalce about 2 years ago. Also the Battery light came on after I finished up putting the new thermostat in too, the volts are way down, maybe time for an alternator the on in there now is only 8 months old. Let me know what you guys think. THANKS for the help.

I had a bad ground on my 93, it made the gauges do wierd things. Check the two wires that go from the battery post to the inner fender. Mine were fried!
