The thermostat will need replacing. It us either stuck open or closed. When you open hood, there is a hose that goes from rad to engine (top not bottom). Thermostat sits where it attaches to engine. $10-15. Make sure to clean old gasket off and replace that as well. You should be good another 4-6 years
