Installing a 180F thermostat does NOT decide nor sets an operating temperature. Only decides at what coolant temperature the thermostat changes status to ensure coolant will not be at a lower temperature than the thermostat rating.
In other words, a thermostat does not allow running cooler which is different than not allowing running hotter. You can still run as hot as you want by pulling a trailer, climbing, high ambient, poor radiator flow, poor air flow...

Besides which, in an '03 he's not going anywhere with no front shaft.

Ive been a member of various automotive online forums, there’s always someone that has to be an smartass and “unwelcome” new members. Thanks for that....

Read it on some manual, perhaps comes from the differential lock switch engaged; and confirmed it as am running rear wheel drive only, for 6 years now with the company of 3 amigos. Have no front driveshaft nor front wheel shafts in place.

There's something like a couple of dozen different scenarios that can cause the three amigos. The best approach to determining the cause would be to pull the codes using an ABS reader.
Maybe it's true that they are caused by the CDL in certain situations; some versions of the SLABS unit don't recognise the CDL, for example, and might trigger the lights as a result. But that wouldn't be the case with a 2003 truck unless it had had a CDL fitted

Each of these issues will provide you with hours of enjoyable reading!
