Mine runs cold, as well. I have tranny and engine oil temp gauges on my pillar. Engine rarely gets to 180 or above and the tranny rarely gets over 140 unless I'm towing. Truck runs great, though, but does take some time to warm up when it gets below 50 outside.

I've had mine since the spring. Haven't really found anything to complain about yet. As noted, it is slow to warm up in cold temps. The power is great, that's why I bought it. I can live with the gas mileage.

Default I got a '98 ram 2500 V10 and she does run chili in the winter

Maybe a fan the size of a helicopter rotor has something to do with it, I don't know, but I'm guessing in cold weather the V10 will be slow to warm up. Maybe a thermostat change would be in order north of the 40th parallel......
I live in northern Arizona up in the hills and she gets chilly in the winter that old truck runs chili and right now I'm having a problem no power up the hill loaded or empty she's spitting and stuttering lack of power than ******* out it's going to take me a while the auto parts store 100 mi away from me y'all have a good day
