welcome to FTE.
the best place for answers for your diesel questions, is the pre-powerstroke forums, and they can be found farther down the page.
here is a direct Link to that forum.
Pre-Power Stroke Diesel (7.3L IDI & 6.9L) - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
did you use a ford t-stat, or a parts house t-stat? the parts store t-stats for some reason don't work in our trucks.

Diesel Brad, that is simply not true - my '91 IDI warms up just fine while idling, it takes it a bit to do so (maybe 5 minutes) but with the fan on high and the temperature all the way up it gets really really hot inside. I do not know if you would call this a normal operating temperature, but it most certainly provides enough heat to make me sweat if I have anything more than a T-shirt on. Maybe my truck is just weird?

nope. all 6 of mine were the same way. it would take time to make heat at idle when cold starting, but once the engine is hot, it is a windows open oven in the cab.
i have to plow with the windows open, or run the temp control at 1/2 air conditioner.
and i plow between idle and 1000 rpms.
