Welcome to FTE amae. What DTC are you getting? Would it be P0117? I don't know exactly where it is located on your truck. I would look near the thermostat housing. Good luck.

The DTC is for "low input" so, I don't think that it was running hot. What did the temp guage do when the light came on, do you remember?

Thanks, Rocky is his name. He is a little over 9 months old now and weighs in at 75 lbs and is still just a pup. I don't have a current picture of him right now.
