LOW TEMPS??

Good Morning,

So lately here its has been between the 30's and 50's in temp, I have been noticing that even after driving my truck for an hour or so staright the EOT and ECT are both in the 180's. Should i be concerned about this or is it just due to the low ambient temps?

You have the same problem as me....I'm replacing my thermostat either today or tomorrow....It must be stuck part way or all the way open.

One good thing about the 6.0 t-stats. They appear to stick open more than closed.
