Default can't get it up

coolant temperature that is lol. Every since I did my PI intake swap and put a new water pump on I cant seem to get my temperature up. I drive 25 miles to work every morning and the temp on the stock gauge goes up to about the O and stays there until I hit the first stop light in the town I work in (25 miles later)and then goes to the M on the gauge. Dosent matter how far I go cuz When I go into a town closer on the weekends it does the same thing, doesnt get warm untill you sit for a min or 2. Checked my fan with the hood up and it comes on and off like its supposed to. pretty sure i got all the air out of the coolant lines. Could it be the thermostate? It does have a 180 degree state in it now but before the swap it came up to temp just like it should.
