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.

It turns out i will not be buying the V10 ram my father is no longer able to drive so i am inherting his truck (2008 heavy 1500) so i will end up keeping that for now... maybe in a couple years i can afford a diesel... sorry guys
I got a '98 ram 2500 V10 and she does run chili in the winter
One other note, and it is not a bad thing for me. I don't know about everyone else's V10, but mine runs incredibly cool. I live/work in deep South Texas and this thing never seems to get over 180 degrees. 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......
