IT happens to mine if it is sitting still for a few hours. I remeber going out one of our job sites early morning and seeing the temp right at 85*F at 5am and then coming back to the truck sweating my *** off around 2pm and it still saying 85*F, after a few minutes of driving though (Mine has to be driving above 35mph, dont know why but it does) it adjusted itself back out showed the temp at 110*F... bit of a difference there...

Sounds like a bad sensor behind the grill. Mine is usually spot on unless it reads high at start-up from either the sun beating on the front of the truck or it had been running and heat from the radiator caused it to get hotter.
