I think my thermostat might be broke. Open broke. It takes a lot longer to warm up than I think it should. I don"t drive it much so I"m just not sure how long it should take but my Honda Civic takes right about 2 miles at 32F. The other day I drove the truck to work and it was over 5 miles before it reached normal operating temp. So today I looked to see where the thermostat is on it and I can"t see it anywhere. I see the water pump and the outlet with the hose going into the top of the radiator but it doesn"t have a thermostat housing like I expected. Can anyone give me any pointers? Would one of those scan tools Advance Auto or AutoZone has be able to tell me if it"s taking to long to warm up? Or is there any way to tell without just replacing the thermostat. It"s a 2001 with the 4.8 V8. It only has 18K miles on it. Nothing except oil changes and tire rotation has been done to it. Rather keep the mechanics away from it if I can.

After many talks with the salesman a deal was struck and I, along with a M2 plow, c
