thermostat ??

This week, I made two round trips from home to Knoxville TN... a few times along the way, I noticed the temp gauge going up and down in the 150-190 range. The gauge is usually right around 150 all the time since I got the truck in September, but the heater blows hot and it's getting good fuel mileage, so I just figured maybe the sender was bad.

Any ideas?

Just a note... I love this truck! I averaged over 20 mpg with a 4x4 at 75+ going thru the hills of PA, WV, VA, and TN!!!
