hey Dan,

If you have a temperature gauge on your truck, it should be somewhere around 195ish when it's warmed up. If it's a lot lower than that, it means the thermostat is stuck open, not allowing the truck to come up to temperature. If you've just got a temperature light, that only comes on when the truck is overheating.

Thermostats are less than $20 to replace if you do it yourself. If the thermostat doesn't fix it, the heater core is probably gunked up and the coolant system would need to be flushed.
