temperature higher than normal

Hey has anyone had any slight overheating problems on their 351 92-96 broncos.I notice on the temerature guage its starting to creep into the "m"
of normal on the guage although its still in the normal range it has never creeped this high.Mostly does this in idle,but some times on the hiway too.Radiator is full,fan clutch will spin fairly easy when hot but it has a slight amount of resistance,157,000 miles all original stuff..........IDEAS?---------sharkwhit

yes it could be sticking......and also remember the stock OEM Ford gauges in your Bronco are not worth the plastic they are made of. They are a well known weak point, and notoriously inaccurate.
