Cooling System Issue

Genuine 180 thermostat came tonight. FedEx did not deliver until 6pm, so I am installing in the morning.
I am going to do my final distilled water flush after zerex radiator treatment, and make sure it opens before putting in coolant.
If this SOB doesn’t open I may need counseling.

I am going to let her cool, drain, fill with coolant and bleed the system today.
Hopefully, this will do it.
I heard the waterfall sound for the first time ever, but that is just the final flush after the Zerex treatment. So not a huge deal, but at least now I know what to look for

So, just did the test drive, hit 204 in what can only be called Chicago Traffic's best shot. Horrible out there today.
Truck ran at 200/198, and did not really get a chance to get going and see what temps would be during long stretched of driving.
The design of the Thermostat is so restrictive. Kicking myself a little for not doing inline. Idled at 193 with A/C in 95 degree and humid weather with the thermostat bypassed.
