So I take the truck to work this morning because we have snow on the way and the tires that came on the car are utter crap in snow and the truck has Blizzaks. Going the few miles to drop the kids off and the thermometer is reading -5*. Half way to work, crap, the temp gauge is sitting about 140* and no heat which means no defroster for the ride home. I call dad to see if I can get the truck in the local mechanic/body shop. He stopped in and got the truck and the high end $8 thermostat. The other one was a year old. The radiator cap was replaced the same time and that failed a few months ago pulling into Wal-Mart so I just grabbed some pre-mix and a Stant cap while I was there.
Rick will tell you, the LA motors from Mopar will put out some heat once you are going. Ours never did warm up at idle.
