What is the normal operating temp for these trucks?
Any one have any pics? I feel like my truck runs much cooler

Im not sure. But by the temp gauge, i have never seen mine get to half. It always stays just under half.

Well if I convert the celcius reading from my truck, mine runs around 192. FYI, if you have the digital odo, u can hold the trip reset, then.turn the key on. It will go into a menu and show you digital readings so the gauges. It will not show oil pressure tho. Don't be alarmed when through oil psi shows 0...lol

It was around 60F outside.

This was about 2 minutes driving




And this happens in about 15 minutes, but I have never seen it higher

Normal operating temp is controlled by what temp thermostat you have installed...normally a 180-210 degree t-stat.

Umm check your thermostat because there is a possibility it is stuck open, and the coolant is constantly flooding the engine keeping it very cool. Your thermostat maybe rated at a much lower temperature than what the engine is rated for. There are also a lot of possibilities such as a bad temperature sensor, but as long as your engine runs and you don't notice anything funny I would leave it alone.
