Probably too late to point it out, but a 180 thermostat is too cool for an EFI truck. It won't get up to operating temp (192) which can really knock your fuel mileage numbers down.
Used to put a cooler stat in for warmer weather in the old days of carburetors, but with an ect sensor the computer figures it's not warmed up yet and dumps excess fuel to compensate for a cold motor.
I imagine it's already installed and it won't hurt anything I suppose, but if you find that your mileage drops off, that would most likely be the reason.
