What engine temperature are you guys running?

Tried that once, buried the temp gauge pulling a load through town even though it was almost freezing out. Tried covering only part of the radiator, then a different part, wasn't able to get a combination that wouldn't overheat but would actually make the heater work like it should. Trouble is, it isn't unusual in the winter here for it to be single digits at night then 40's or even 50's during the day. Gave up.

Hey guys, my truck doesn't heat up either forever even when plugged in. Changed the thermostat and flushed the heater core still cold and hardly any heat. My next thought is the possibility of a weak water pump? Maybe an entire coolant system flush is in order also to make sure things are flowing properly.
suggestions??

Okay so it wasn't the pump or maybe it was. haha turns out my radiator was way low. however there was coolant in my resivoir but it would not take any into the radiator. Not sure if this was a result of the pump or not. After changing the water pump I filled the resivoir up and stupid me didn't think to fill the radiator up too. It started overheating right away of course but still would not take in water from the resivoir. I finally filled the radiator up and now it works great. I have heat fast for a diesel.
