Change the thermostat, and the IAT sensor. You want a 195 degree stat. I highly suspect there is a 180 in there.

IAT is intake air temp sensor. Yours shows 144 degrees.... which seems pretty high to me on a 40 degree day......

Yeah, but the air the IAT is reading doesn't spend a lotta time in there...... Wish I had some numbers to compare it to.

It's cold and nasty and snowing here at the moment.... else I would go plug in to my truck, and see what it had to say.

Cranking voltage seems a little low, have you had your battery checked lately?
