Tedy,
Sounds like she is runnin too cold when ya drivin, I would first install a working temperature gauge so you know what the temp is reaching then go from there, a working temp. gauge I feel is a must in any vehicle, its just cheap insurance.
If she is runnin to cold then pull your thermostat and check it it may be stuck in the open position letting the coolant freeflow and not letting the engine achive a good operating temp.
I would think you should be shootin for round 190 degrees of operating temp.
Good Luck
Tim
