First, thank you for fessing up to working on a car. As you know this is a TRUCK site. Does that mean we won’t help you? No! There are a couple of things you can try. You may have an air bubble in the system keeping water from getting to the thermostat to open it. Burp the system and see if it takes more coolant. Second pull the thermostat and drill a 1/16-1/8 “ hole in the flat flange to allow a small amount of coolant to bypass all the time. Finally, if you have any more CAR questions post them in the Greasy Spoon forum which you can access after you make 5 approved posts.🛠
