low temp
Im having an issue with my trucks temp not building. The truck sat for 2 days in mid 30 degree weather and it started right up this morning. I drove to work, about 15 miles, and the temp gauge moved a very small amount. Normally the temp jumps to normal range in about 5min. Coolant level is good, it drives and runs great. Could this be a thermostat issue? any thoughts?

Could be but you need a real set of gauges. The factory gauges are glorified idiot lights. Get a ScanGauge ll for $159 or less. Does sound like a stuck t-stat but that's a WAG without the gauges.
