[QUOTE="SmokinM, post: 1828119, member: 21382"] Ditto on the thermostat. I have had that happen to mine. Also had to replace the blower motor. I assume the truck temp gauge is reading cold? If so most likely your thermostat. Also it just takes awhile for those trucks to warm up. Like on a 30 degree morning idling around the farm it may not reach temp for maybe an hour. I typically let mine warm up about 30 min. and not uncommon for them to still need a mile or two on the road to actually reach temp. They are fantastic trucks but puttzing around on the farm is not where they shine. They are not jump in and go kind of motors. They like to run and will for days on end but off and on start, stop is pretty hard on them. Mine will be left idling anytime I will be less than an hour stopped. Many, many days it has run 24 hrs. or more continuous and not uncommon at all to start it at 5-6 a.m and turn it off at 6 p.m. [/QUOTE]
