I hooked up a scan tool to my truck and my temp was at 175-177 after letting the truck run for about 20 minutes (so that means the t-stat is fine?). I think I might go out and get my coolant flushed and see if that helps. After changing my plenum, we did have a fill the radiator a couple times probably letting air get in.

Seems a bit low for a 185...thats when its supposed to open right?
if your heat is hot theres nothing to worry about. is there a possible air pocket? Not bled right? i found when i first started mine (after plenum fix...replacd t-stat too by a stat from the dealer) the temp kept getting way to far up. and id have o shut it down. then when it got up again, i held the gas at 2000RPM and the heat slowly went down into 195 degrees. and its been thee ever since...never goes above 195. and when warmed up it stays directly at 195. where is the position of you jiggler valve facing?
When I get off work I am going to hook up a hose the heater core and see if thats clogged up first before I spend 60 bucks to get my system flushed. Im not to sure about the t-stat, is there a way to check without taking if off?
