Wayne - You usually provide excellent advice. In this case, though, would you please explain how a lower temp thermostat, e.g. 160F, would provide cooler temps than the standard temp thermostat, e.g. 187F, once the coolant temp is above the fully open standard thermostat, e.g.190F? It seems to me that cooling system thermal capacity is the limit, not a throttling by the thermostat.
BTW, I do run the 160F thermostat and don't see any difference in normal operating temps in hot Florida weather.
