Your truck is fine. Add more coolant and keep an eye on it until the "usage" tapers off and the heater works normally.
I replaced the pump in June, middle of June the original motor blew the #6 piston. I finished installing the "new" motor the last part of August. I literally have driven one full tank of fuel through it.

Glow plugs that were a month old failed two weeks ago. I warrantied them and replaced with Bosch. So really, my truck has not been driven much at all. I have not driven more than 40 miles at a time before turning it off.

Should I put a hold on the T-stat or just go ahead and buy it and keep it on hand?
