From my search:

A P0128 is a code is an indication of a faulty thermostat or ECT (engine coolant temp sensor). The manufacture designs the engine to run at a specific operating temperature for the most efficient operation. The thermostat regulates the coolant between the engine and radiator.
Looks like your stat may be stuck open and not allowing your truck to warm up enough. Either that or a bad sensor. Have you had any issues with insufficient heat in the cab lately?

Since your heat is good, it might just be that sensor. I'd hit the dealer's parts desk up for one. Good luck.
