Default T-stat problem

I had a head gasket put on, milled the head, new head bolts, more hoses, T-stat (Cummins). It was running as it should for about 2 hours, then my temp gauge took a nose dive and I have no circulation in the radiator, and no pressure in my upper rad. hose. Did my T-stat stick or something? I have never had a Cummins T-stat fail, or have I It's not a knock off, It's a Cummins What happened Info is always greatly appreciated
oh yeah, I paid out the too

It was a little low, I added coolant last night, it's just been too cold for me. I'm gona go check it again in a few. Could it be the T-stat stuck

I had issues getting it down to Brian, I had to get it done here Tony. They did everything right, it was a little more, but had to get it done. I'm ready for a brand new truck
