Lower Temp Thermostat

[trizzle]

Howdy folks!

As the title says, are there any options for lower temp thermostats? I see they come as a whole housing + thermostat. Would like 190 or below if I could. Thanks!

I will be tuning the fans for the lower temp also.

Modern Diesels are designed to run hotter Why would you do that ? Back in the day diesels ran at 180 .

Considering this is a gas motors, diesel comparison seems null. Lower temps = less detonation, longer oil life, and several other benefits especially when towing. Just curious if there are any option other than the stock 216* thermostat

Didn’t realize you were talking gas .

Today's engines and tech are designed to run at the higher temps.
Can you gain a little power by running cooler? Maybe.
But what will be the effect on the rest of the engine?
