[QUOTE="decipha, post: 17038592, member: 74327"] The ford engineers designed the vehicle to operate at 212 degrees hence the 195 thermostat as temps usually regulate 15 above thermostat temp. Reische or anyone else can say anything they want but the actual ford engineers designed the engine for 212 degrees. If you have o-rings and hoses failing at 200 degrees you have other problems as these were all designed for 212 deg operating temps. Literally just about every vehicle made in the past few decades are designed to operate at 212 degrees F. 99% of the vehicles on the road today operate at 212 degrees with 195 thermostats. You can do what you want with your vehicle but that doesn't change the intended design by the engineers that created it. Aluminum doesn't start moving til you get over 250 degrees so you have quite a bit to go before you'll ever have any issues. Also if you want to get scientific, INCREASING the thermostat temp will give you more cooling capacity since the delta temperature is greater. [/QUOTE]
