thermostat

After my truck in 10+ or below with out being plugged in. The truck will not heat up. Once it over heated. I am thinking is the thermo is sticking in the close position. Anyone out there hear of this or have this happen?

I would say your thermostat is sticking open, not closed.

OK the truck cab blows cold air and the motor gets really hot. Happened today and I had to leave her. After being plugged in for aprox 6hrs she was normal/. I might drain fluid and swap out stat?

Seems like a good place to start. Would also pressure test system and cap.

Good luck, but it sounds like your doing (or will do) the right thing to check out the problem.
