Started her up again today.

Main goal today was to get the truck up to temp and see if the thermostat was functioning properly. I borrowed a temperature gun from work to shoot the temp of the thermostat housing.
After a few minutes of running, the motor topped out at about 170 degrees and I could see that my coolant level dropped. Looks like the thermostat is still functioning.
Next goal is to clean and flush the motor and radiator.
Y'all have a good one!
