My truck doesn't get up to 190 degrees after 20 miles of driving. No winter front on it now. What is the temp needed to go into closed loop?

Are you sure you didn't just get charged the diagnostic charge for the thermostats they checked that turned out to not be bad?

I thought the same. there is also a TSB after the first fuel filter change the same symptoms would happen. weird thing was the fix was to drive 5 miles repeating WOT to 45-50.

Once they read the code I can find out.

Stanley is right again. They reflashed and test drove it and said it was good. Sounds good...
