Replace your thermostat with a 180.
If the lower hose is cold your Thermostat is not opening

Try this, rev your engine to 2500-3000 rpm and monitor your temps see if they go down. If so, you may have a flow problem. The lower hose will always be a tad bit cooler then the top. But should still be warm to touch. 220 degrees is warm but not overheating. Check your condenser fan see if it’s coming on at all. Check your serpentine belt make sure it’s routed correctly.

His idle goes up to 222 so I’m guessing when driving it’s way lower.
My 03 on a stock thermostat when I bought it was hitting 225
