Changed the choke pull off today. Starts great, idles nicely when cold. This is 
the second time I have had to change the pull off vacuum switch. If you are 
having trouble with cold running this may be your problem. Also put in a 
stainless steel thermostat. I did and it is the first time the temperature has 
stayed stable since I bought the truck. About 80,000 miles ago. The other 
thermostats looked good when I removed them but were not operating properly.
