Help, truck is not warming up!

My truck is not warming up at all.It will get to 155 them stay there. I have replaced the thermostat and I am still having the issue. This is causing my truck to miss ( at least it feels like it). Can someone please help?

I don't think that is the issue because my truck only misses when its running cold, and at times it will get to 210 but then come right back to 155

Stock clutch-type fan? Might have a seized clutch causing the fan to be fully engaged at all times......

If the gauge is working and you have tested the engine temp with a lazer tester and it matches the gauge.....then is can only be the thermostat or the fan clutch if you have one as mentioned above.

Aaaaah, damnit!!!! I was gonna suggest a faulty electrical fan but I figured that I didn't know enough about the later model trucks to comment.
I could've been right for once!
