Water temp
What is the water temp susposed to run on these things?
Since it's been cold (under 30), I see about 180 max and see drops down to 172 when decelerating. I'm wondering if my gas mileage is suffering, because it's not warm enough. I gained 1mpg with my 6.0 diesel with a new thermostat, when it wouldn't get above 180 and stay at 190.
Do I have a defective thermostat? or are these things cooler running?

Today's findings are after 3 miles it peaked at 188 then dropped to 177 in half a mile, and held til I came to a stop 7 miles later and it dropped to 168. Did the same on the return trip. Would only come up to 177 after a few miles.
Heater shure felt great at that 188, not so much at 170.

Anybody else have water temp readings? Dealers don't want to mess with it till it gets colder.
I'm ready to trade back to a V10, 5.4 or a newer Dodge? What's the best deal?
Only reason I went to a 6.2 was the get the 4 door and a gas for faster heat in winter. Most my miles are in the winter.

That is what I used to do short of the cover.
