If a truck gets hotter after you shut it of is it the thermostat I have a 4x4 Nissan pickup with a 4 cylinder engine.?

All vehicles get hotter under the hood after you shut off the engine. This phenomenon is called "soakback" and is just the engine dissipating heat without benefit of air flow. Some cars with electric fans keep the fan running for a while to fight soakback. If you have an electric fan and it doesn't run after you shut the engine down, the fan relay may be broken.
