Is the thermostat the only part that would control or have anything to do with an engine not warming up enough? (150)

    I can't think af anything else that would keep the engine too cool. I'd guess that it wants a new 195F degree stat. Your dash gauge might not be accurate, I'd use a proper thermometer to check the temp or use a scanner that reads data, better yet.
