Code p1281 engine too cold?
Ok my check engine light NEVER came on, i got a hypertech programmer today and it said i had a code, the programmer came back with code p1281 Engine is cold too long "If engine does not warm up to 176F while driving for 20 minutes after start" i put a 180F thermostat in like 6 months ago when i did my plenum. Is this something to just go eh whatever to? or something i should investigate.

I put a 180 degree t-stat in several years ago. I live in Florida so our winter weather doesn't set a CEL. However I did have that happen one Xmas when in the N. Carolina Mountains and it was 25 degrees out one morning. I reset it after the truck warmed up with my programmer and it wasn't an issue after that. What is your current temperatures overnight?
