I took the t-stat out and checked it and it would open and close..i thought maybe i had a faulty temp guage..i went ahead and put the new one on since i already bought one...I started my truck and it went to about 1400 rpm,,,The guage slowly started to move up to around 190 after about 10 min of idling and the rpm was dropping also instead of always staying high...Could the one I took out been opening to early or could it of just been the wrong one..The one I picked up at autozone was a 192 temp...
