Default cold operation temp in alaska need help!!!!!!!!

ok so the truck warms up and idk what normal operation temp is but the temp gauge stops just after 130 degrees and the air is warm but not good enough.

ok so now the real question is.
do you have hot air when you turn the temp dial all the way over or do you have warm air like me
