It’s impossible to get my 94.5 up to normal engine temperatures even after a 45 minute drive to work ... thermostat problem? With winter weather I would like my heater to work lol

Make sure its the 203/205ºF thermostat. That's what I installed when I had my F350. Most of us can't work our trucks hard enough to make the 192º necessary.

It's actually not recommended for people that tow heavy in warmer climates.
It's what I have in mine, but I don't tow much anymore.

No regrets with the higher temp stat. Heat sooner, and ran better. 5spd truck also.

I can see the E4OD dumping a lot of heat into the cooling system, especially when towing heavy.
