Operating Temperature range?

[Fordtoughranger]

Im just wondering what you guys like to keep your engine coolant temperature around.
My 4.0L has been running around 210deg, with the heater on high, with some city driving, and most of the commute is highway speeds.
I have a 3" bodylift so the fan doesn't line up with the radiator like factory, and the radiator is fairly beat up.
I am planning on replacing the single core with a dual core radiator out of my old ranger, so that should keep it a lot cooler. Of course the high temperarture is probably helping my fuel mileage some, but I don't want to be running it too hot.

Thanks for any input.

Around 195*

I know my 91 is usually around the 210 mark as well.

Did your body lift not come with radiator drop brackets?

It's a homemade body lift, so I haven't made any brackets to drop it down.
I did put the dual core radiator in today, and checked the thermostat, so I will see how it runs now.

My performance accessories 3" body lift on my 91 didn't come with anything to relocate the rad or fan shroud.
