That sounds like my truck. It is normal operation. On the cold mornings does your heater start blowing warm air after about 5 minutes? For me I fire the truck up, let it idle it for about 30 seconds, then turn around ( I live on a one way street.) drive 5 blocks at 10 to 15 mph, wait at a stop light for a minute or 2. From there it is 3.more blocks to the freeway onramp. By the time I'm on the freeway the heater is blowing warm air. The guage at that point is still down in the bottom of the part of the guage.
