Now that it is cold outside(20-30 degrees) my truck will not get up to the same temp that it used to. Does that mean the thermostat is stuck open? Here is a pic of the temp gauge at its warmest point during normal driving. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1355908474.654392.jpg

Thanks in advance

I took my truck into the cold today. ~40*

Letting off the throttle coasting downhill my temps rapidly dropped to 185* like yours in that picture.

They rise to 210 in 30seconds or so if i get on it.

It's doesn't fluctuate at all unless I start climbing a hill and then it will get up to just under 210. I will have to check the coolant in the morning.

265,000 combined miles between My LLY and LBZ tells me your temperature is right where it should be without a winter front in 20-30* outside temps.:thumb:
