If you have a 190 degree thermostat in your vechile and replace it with a 180 degree thermostat will it run cooler?

It may run cooler, but this depends on if your radiator fan has a thermostat controlled temperature gauge or if your fan is mechanical. A mechanical fan has a fan belt attached and runs when the engine runs.

Would a lower degree thermostat help to keep a Chevy 350 run cooler?
Yes, given that there aren't other issues with the cooling system. Is the fan in good shape? Is the fan shroud in good shape, or even there at all? Has the cooling system been flushed recently? If all of these things are in good working order, then yes, a 160 degree thermostat will obviously run cooler than a 195 degree thermostat will. One more question... Is the radiator big enough? That is the next question after you have eliminated possible problems with everything else.

Between 195 degrees and 210 degrees. You can put a 180 degree thermostat in it and it will run alittle cooler.
Would a 396 Chevy run cooler with a 160 or 195 degree thermostat?
Theoretically it would run cooler. The temperature rating on a thermostat tells you it's fully open position. So when the coolant temp reaches 160 then coolant will be allowed to flow to the radiator. Where as the 190 will open 30 degress warmer. And generally a lower temp is better. Just make sure you replace it with the OEM for the winter... or your engine won't warm up enough when it's cold.
Replaced thermostat on 89 Ranger w 160 degree unit still runs cold heater air won't warm up gage doesn't register warm Suggestions?
Check your heater core. ANSWER I'm not a mechanic but isn't the thermostat supposed to be a 190 F unit. With a 160 F the engine would run cooler , read cooler on the guage, and the heat from your heater wouldn't get as warm as it should ( just like what happens when a 190 degree F. thermostat sticks open )

What is the original temperature thermostat setting for a 1995 Chevy S10 with 4.3 4wheel drive with Z Vin Code?
Been there, done that, found out optionsI just replace the Thermostat in my 1995 S-10 Blazer with the same specs. When I went to get a new thermostat, I was told that Factory was 195 Degree F. But the GM Dealership said that non-standard thermostats that have been used are 165 Degrees and 185 Degrees. I had to replace mine because it was stuck open, which simply put means not heat in the winter and overheat in the summer. I replaced mine with a 195 Degree Thermostat, and it puts out a nice amount of heat now, and is running cooler when it is hot outside. The GM dealer said to try to have a cooler thermostat when you are in higher temperatures and/or when you are towing. My 195 Thermostat opens at about 170, but it appears that it only opens a little at that point, under load it will actually make it up to 195, then the temperature will drop. Please note, if you are towing or have a load that your transmission cooler is in the radiator on the drivers side, and if your transmission is heating up, your engine temp will not be reading correctly, it is possible for it to be up to 10 degrees higher from the heat from the transmission. So choose temperatures wisely. 195 is a standard thermostat. 4.3 Engine runs abt. 200 degrees
