Trouble code P0128 means: ECT Sensor Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature

Does the water temp gauge in the dash work? I'd be willing to bet it doesn't. Turn ignition on, check for voltage at water temp sensor harness. If voltage is present, replace water temp sensor. Check the air temp sensor also. If there's no voltage, find out why. Maybe both sensors are on the same harness on this truck and it has become disconnected somehow?
Wish i could offer more specifics but i don't have a wiring diagram handy. Good luck.

    OK... EASY FIX... Replace your thermostat with a 195..... What is happening is your Current Thermostat is either STUCK OPEN or is too low. Have you replaced your Thermostat prior with a 180? Put in a 190-195 ( I prefer to install a brand called FAILSAFE. If there is EVER a problem, it is designed to FAIL in the OPEN or SAFE position. I am quite sure this will fix your issue.... REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT

I have serv eng light on with code # PO172 , PO128 , and PO442 , and I replaced fuel tank cap today , light still on ,and I need to get inspection , but I am out of work and can't afford expensive repair...

Code p0172 is MAF, vacuum leak, and fuel pressure.
You can see my TIPS on this site to help with the MAF.
Code p0128 is Low ccolant, ECT or the IAT.
code p0442 is your EVAP system.
Please let me know what you find.

The P0218 Code is primarily intended to indicate a faulty thermostat.
Have the thermostat replaced

P0128 code

Unless the car is overheating you probably just have a bad temperature sensor probably located on the intake manifold....
