First step is definitely a Scangauge (or an ultragauge). Grill block would likely be the second step. since you tow a trailer occasionally and carry stuff in the bed i would try to find a good dyno chart for your particular engine before considering a rear end swap (don't want to bog the engine down with the extra load). when monitoring temps an ultragauge is nice because you can set an alarm to sound at a certain temp, so if you normally run around 190 you can set the alarm for 200.
