How quickly does your trucks get to operating temp (210)?  My truck does within the first two miles which I think is pretty fast.  Thermostat works fine, it's just fast to heat up.

I will assume you have the 5.3 V8?

Guess it depends on how cold it is where you live, if garaged or not. But yes, generally speaking, these aluminum engines warm up pretty quickly compared to my old iron block '96 5.7 V8 did.

Also make sure you run the recommended 0W-20 oil in it, some people still seem the think "Thats too thin of oil for my vehicle (especially if you live down south)"
