temp. drops when i start to drive
I noticed today that my truck wasnt warming up as fast as it usually does and when i finally did it was when i was stopped, but as i started to drive again it would drop. out side temp 28* f hopefully someone could explain this to me or tell me if something is going wrong. Replace water pump, and t-stat 2 weeks ago.

my truck does the same thing it mostly because the water temp is so cold it takes a while to heat it up. when the thermostat opens it has all that cold water coming in making the engine cool back down.

my truck would go all the way up to 210 but once it got their it dropped back down within 2 minites to 160 then started to go back up a new thermostat fixed the problem but then figured out the wire on the thermostat was corroded and not reading correctly
