Operating Temp
Whenever the outside ambient temp is below 50 degrees my truck never reaches operating temp. When it is a warmer day it does okay. I believe the thermostat is just stuck open, but I wanted some other opinions before I changed it. This is my 1st diesel and haven't worked on many of them. Just used to working on gas engines.

I noticed last week on an 60 degree day I was running 180 degrees down the highway. Changed the thermostat and now on a 40 degree day I come up to 190 around town. I obviously had a bad thermostat. Hope that info helps.
