Default Operating temp...

I have a 01 WS6...NOT is about 210*. Lately it has been having problems with getting up to NOT. IF I let it sit at an idle in the driveway, it takes about 10-15 min to reach NOT...is that normal time? When driving, it takes significantly longer....maybe 20-30 min. Sometimes it doesnt even reach operating temp....keep in mind it is 10* here right now. Thermostat going bad? or am I just imagining things?

It's been 0-10*F in Chicago lately too. My daily driver Bonneville has been taking forever to warm up also. Same with my wife's Cavalier. And if I have the heat on full blast sometimes they won't warm up fully either.

I wouldn't worry about it. Wait and see how it does when we get some weather above freezing.....
