Well, thanks one and all for the help. You've given me an idea, which is to jack into the ODB-II port and see what the truck itself thinks the coolant temp is. I'm being to suspect that I've got a stuck open thermostat, which i can monitor by comparing coolant temp to upper rad hose temp. Let...

Sorry, one tries to post all relevant info. He was measuring the coolant at the radiator where the cap fits (the neck?) using a thermometer and the engine at idle.

I just had all of the fluids changed on my "99 4WD, and the tech said that he thought the thermostat was not opening all of the way since he could only get the engine up to 180-185 degrees. I have the trailer towing package, so I have lots of cooling. The tech said normal temp should be 206...
