About 158-159 (but there are other also other variable that go along with
that). BUT...when you're driving, it may be cooling down too much...if
you're having the problem with the 180 T'Stat, put the 195 back in.

That sounds about right Ron, I put the 180 T-stat in there about a week ago,
and the truck runs very cold. Matter of fact I was talking to someone last
week about the fact that the truck runs around 170 ish, and I was wondering
at what temp it goes into closed loop.
Maybe I should get rid of the clutch fan, and depend on the electric fan???
atleast for the winter. OR, just keep resetting the computer??
