Hi guys! First time posting here.
Just bought a 1988 Ford Ranger..and realized it was over heating. Changed the thermostat for one rated at 192 degrees (pic below)
I let it idol today for about 5 minutes and It still seems like it’s running kinda hot.
What’s your advice? Is this a normal temp? Or should I get a thermostat rated for a lower temp.
Btw...learning a whole lot about my truck still! Very much a novice but super excited to dive in
