temperature gauge

[tn trooper]

Hey guys,my AMC 304 in my jeep takes forever to warm up. When I'm not moving down the road the temperature gauge shows that it's warming up. When I start going down the road the gaugeslowly goes down. I'm just trying to get my heater to warm up quicker. Could this be a thermostat issue?

Or it could be lack of t-stat. If it doesn't have one it will run cold for ever

I agree it either doesn't have one or it is stuck open.
