Yes there is, all engines have a correct operating temperature. Your local auto parts store should be able to tell you what came stock in your truck. Too cool is bad for power, mileage, will lead to acidic build up in your oil and shorter engine life. There is a reason the engineers spent all that time figuring out what operating temperature is best for your motor.
