Hey guys I have my truck tuned and deleted also a egr delete, but i cant get it past 150 when its cold out -10c or so , are there any tunes i can get that will make it build heat better. or is there anything i should try?

Are you reading the secondary system temp or the first? At 14* I would probably have a cold front on the truck, especially when that temp is being sustained over a long period of time.

My truck absolutely sucked getting it up to temp when it was below 20°.... so I cut a piece of vynal cargo mat to match the inside of my grill and zip tied it on... warms up so much better and oil temps are now back above 200°...

How long are you driving it? If its more than 15 miles you need a thermostat. And cold front

i put a peice of a snow flap behind the grille. seems to work really well

This is what I did. This is the cheap cargo mat from walmart that I cut to fit...

I have found on my truck that if it is under 25 degrees or so that it will only get to 140 degrees. Even if you had been driving it on the highway and it was at 190 it will still cool down to 140 at idle. So if your just driving around town in stop and go traffic it probably won't ever get much hotter.
