high psi

Even if I have had the block heater plugged in overnight my truck is not making heat by the time I get to work (about 15 mins). It is warm enough when I start it that the high idle doesn't kick on, but it never gets up to the n in normal if it is below 30 degrees out. I changed the thermostat and put cardboard in front of 75% of the rad, but it didn't seem to help. I started the truck and left it idle for about 10 minutes before I left work today. That was enought to get it off of high idle, but even with the 15 minute drive home the air coming out of the vents never got past being lukewarm. Am I overlooking something? I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my windshield clean when it snows/sleets. Should I try keeping it in a lower gear? I usually keep my RPM's around 12-1500 when cruising along. It takes alot of the fun out of driving this thing.
