Cold engine temp

New to this post area and need a little help.

Just bought a 2005 F350 CC short box, engine temp is running cool, any suggestions.

I have a 95 f250 when it ran cool I just replaced the thermastat. Is this just as simple?

Its cold up here and the trucks idiot gauge hardly moves after an hour or so of driving and the cab temp doesn't get that hot either.

HELP

Thanks

I had the same problem last year with my 04 F250 diesel, the thermostat replacement fixed all problems

Vlietracer,

I would agree that it would solve my problem. Just a note, I had the truck checked out by a Mech. and they seemed that the problem wasn't the thermostat but maybe a sensor or blah blah blah.

Thanks

anyone else have a comment?

I could see that if only the guage reads cold and you still had hot heat in the cab
