You're quite correct; it IS nothing but trouble. But quite a lot of people don't understand what a thermostat does and remove it to try to "cure" an overheating problem or "increase cooling capacity." Of course it does neither of those....From what I can see.. nothing has been modified by the pervious owners.. why would someone remove it? is that something that is done on the rangers? sounds like nothing but trouble.
Electric fan works a lot better then the stock fan for cooling. Can you explain to me why 160 is to low? Motor gets to temp and with the electric fan im able to control the engine temps very well. Your the first person who told me 160 thermostat isnt good to use.160 deg is too low for EFI. Remove it and put the stock 195 deg back in, or stock up on catalytic converters.
If you're concerned about cooling, put the stock fan back in. If you're trying for power, you're barking up the wrong tree (coolant temperature isn't the same as air charge temperature, especially with an unheated intake).
