The truck was running on almost no oil. One day after topping off radiator and water thing starts running hot I've filled with oil and the radiator with coolant but still running hot. Where should I start? None of these problems until installing aftermarket stereo. Thought maybe a blown fuse somewhere or somehow. Thanks in advance for any help

Hello,

Can you check the oil for me and tell me the color of it. Is it black or does it look like coffee with creamer in it? Also is your vehicle using coolant/and or water?

Thanks,
Alex
