RE: Temp. Gage.
I don't believe there is any coolant leaking. When I checked, I hardly had to add any since I got the truck. Then again, maybe just a slight leak maybe present? I haven't noticed any difference in the exhaust smell. I have come across coolant being leaked into the engine before and the exhaust would have a sweet, soapy smell if it did, correct?

Well, changed the thermostat and so far the temp has stayed at a constant temperature.

you may be losing so much coolant that the truck is getting hot. Only reason you have not overheated truck so far is because you travel such short distances.
I believe the coolant is going through engine as was stated on other replys.
Get a shop to test for engine coolant leaks. They can do that with dye and pressure on coolant system, I think.
I know some one on forum can tell you how this is done. If you do not fix the problem you will ruin the engine.
Fastest way to ruin a engine is lack of oil pressure, second fastest way to ruin a engine is lack of coolant, engine will over heat and seize.
Good luck and let us know what you find wrong with engine.
