Time to replace my thermostat and im looking on line i know its good to have your motor cool but is it the best idea to get the lowest number temp one they have? i see 160 180 190 195 ? my truck currently runs at 180 to 190. is there a benfit to 160 or a danger the prices arent an issue so im not worried about that just dont want to mess anything up either. Anyone with real knowlegde willing to help i would appericate it dont need a bunch of peoples two cents though i understand the basic funtions Thanks!

If you are running factory TBI fuel injection you should stick with the 190*.
