    C13 55 degree morning wants to stay around 130-150 degrees. Even when it’s 70 fluctuates 150-170.

    I suspect the thermostat has got stuck open, thoughts?

    Thermostat stuck (rarely happens), fan staying engaged, or gauge is wrong

    Like Big Road Skateboard says, verify the accuracy of the temperature gauge.
    Modern diesel engines should operate in the range of 190-200 degree range.
