GM???,
Sounds like your 195º tstat was stuck open or in a partially open position.

Subject: DML: 180 degree thermostats vs stock

Is there any possibility that my stock 195 degree thermostat could have been

opening below 180 degrees?
The reason I ask is, when estimating where it was opening at I cam up with
about 180.
Then I changed to a Stant HD 180 degree thermostat on Sat. now it is running

a full needle width hotter. The needle would never touch the (2) in 210, now

it is always touching the (2).
And yes I bought the truck new, and yes the stock thermo said 195 on it.
Hmmmm... my 99 5.2 never pinged either!

GM blows
