Not really.

Our trucks don't have a coolant temp sensor, they pick the temp up from a 'cylinder head temp' sensor which, as far as I can tell, is not immersed in the coolant. So until the radiator gets saturated with so much heat that it can't get rid of it all, you'll never see the 'coolant' temp rise. It does bounce around 5 degrees on either side of 200 a lot of the time, but that might be from the thermostat cycling open/closed more/less.

That being said, the coolant in the radiator, most of the time should be cooler (at the output at least) than the engine temp and the trans temp, so they should always be shedding some heat into the coolant.

I wonder why my OBD/PID has both engine and head temp?

No idea. There are some things Ford does that just baffle the mind sometimes.

A tip for getting the trans up to temp. Go crawling through city traffic. It will warm up faster there than it does driving 80mph on the freeway.

Lack of air and lots of converter slip.
