Hello Everyone,
I drive an '06 Ram 2500 with Cummins Diesel motor.
It doesn't seem to 'hold' heat very well. I can have the truck all warmed
up, right at the centerpoint of the temp gauge.
Then I'll park it and shut it off. In about an hour I'll come back to
start it up and the temperature gauge reads stone cold and I'll need to
warm it up completely again.
My truck seems to cool down rather quickly. I think the thermostat is OK.
Someone told me this is because Diesel motors run on the principle of using
as little fuel as possible, thus a Diesel just doesn't run as hot as a
gasoline motor.
Any comments? Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

One thing that might make a difference in the answer you get from the
oil burning guru's is where you live. You outside temp/weather is
going to make a difference. |

Mine does the same, completely normal. Just think huge radiator = huge
heat exchanger

actually sheryl, our ng nanny, is just pissed off because someone
actually had a thought. she misses having a thought....an idea....but
she holds out the hope that one day she may actually have one. >> Stay informed about: '06 Ram w/Diesel -- Doesn't 'hold' heat |

A narrow, stretched out inline engine has more surface area that a
compact, chunky V-type.
Now... combine that with a.a.d.t resident thermodynamacist punkin's
intriguing hypothesis. LOL! >> Stay informed about: '06 Ram w/Diesel -- Doesn't 'hold' heat |

What does that have to do with anything the OP asked?
BTW, I recently installed qLogic iCLi on 4 servers. This allowed me to
upgrade the firmware of the individual iSCSI storage array members in a 3
member storage array group - to which the 4 servers have a total of 10
volumes attached - without shutting down any of the servers during the
storage array firmware update process.
What's that have to do with anything? About as much as your answer to Hober
Mallow does.

Intriguing hypothesis huh?
So you are tell me that if the out side temp is say 90 that the block
is going to cool down at the same rate as if the outside temp is say
40? Bullshit. >> Stay informed about: '06 Ram w/Diesel -- Doesn't 'hold' heat |

Well dude, what it has to do with is the simple fact that more surface area
of the inline block means that the engine can and will cool down faster,
especially when no longer running . Perhaps you might want to actually read
and think about what was written before jumping in out of anger and simply
making a fool out of yourself.

Do you think that it might have to do with the liquid that might disapate
the heat quicker? Regards the size, a 360v is probably about the same in
surface area but not as heavy as the I-6
