A thermostat thats stuck open will make an engine underheat. Id check that first. Welcome by the way

Yep, Welcome. Get your post count up a bit. Then you will be able to post pics.

I've swapped out the stat? Flushed and reserviced the coolant. Put a new gauge sensor in it, I've got the whole grill blocked off. The truck heats up stat opens truck cools to about 150. I figured it was just the gauge but the heater follows the gauge reading. If I leave the heater on high the truck will cool off more. I'm wondering if the fan clutch is broke and stuck on. The only time I've gotten it to run at 190 is towing a 19 foot trailer with a mustang on it. But she's a work in progress. Needs paint. All the int is new.

I've got everything to repaint it black, but the wife is trying to talk me into rhino linning the whole truck. I can't find any pics of one done

Truck is a 90 jimmy black stock height with some mickey thompson bead lock wheels. I love it hopefully I can get some posts so I can get some pics up
