Slow to reach operational temp

I was thinking thermostat as well. It read 1/2 on the gauge when new and still does, but it wasn't slow to reach temps when new. That was the hottest indication on the gauge I've ever had with a thermostat. Previous thermostats were like 1/4 on the gauge.

I disagree.
Typical thermostat failure mode usually results in overheating, not running cold.
Normal running temp on a S5 gauge is 1/2, so if it was reading consistently lower, I'd look at the gauge/sending unit.
As I said before, the S5 water temp "gauge" is more of an idiot light than a proper linear gauge and you should get better data (aftermarket H2O gauge) before doing anything.
