Your cooling system is supposed to be sealed so if you put a 180º t-stat in
it, it should stay close to 180. If your winters are extremely cold it
might take you longer to warm up, but that would also be true for your 195.

Subject: DML: thermostats???
o.k plan on changing my thermo, going to a lower rated one correct, like 180
degree's?
what effect will this have on my truck during the winter month's eh???
p.s. while I'm at it I'm going to replace the rad fluid, and flush any tips
for the first time mechanic?
thanks
