I use the high idle (enabled at the dealer) but it doesn't help much. I just want it to warm up. I mean it will idle for 20 minutes in the morning on high idle and never reach operating temp. If I drive for a while and get it up to temp, then park it and idle somewhere, the temp will start dropping, even with high idle on. That just doesn't sound right to me. It is only in the 50's here. I didn't think about the thermostat being stuck open.

Flanman5, if you bought your truck at that dealership, most will do it for free, if not there might be a charge, bringing in donuts sometimes helps too.
I have removed my fan and blocked off 2/3 of the front of the truck and still around town its cool. Towing 10k down the highway, it will warm up to 95 Celsius, but in town, just the fan blowing across the heater core cools the motor down.
