First thing I would do if an electric guage is telling you there is a potential problem, is check the temp with a probe thermometer to be certain it's actually as hot as the guage says. A bad voltage stabilizer will make your guage read high, if your guage is getting more than 10.5 volts.

Assuming there is a high temp problem, get your rad flushed, block flushed, and for heaven's sake, put a new thermostat in. Diesels need a proper, regulated operating temp
