should be 180 degree thermostat.
gage should sit in the middle
Because it is a ford, buy a Chevy
195
95 degrees
Valve clearance is .008 in at normal operating temperature.
.008 under normal operating conditions.
uotside temp sensor in front of the radiator has gone bad
temp should be 190 for a 4.0 ....AlsoIt depends on the thermostat that you have installed. If it's a 180 degree thermostat, the engine should run at right around 180 degrees. Recognize that stock engine temp gauges are notoriously inaccurate so don't blame the thermostat if everything else seems ok but the gauge says the temp is off.
most diesels run at a higher temp than a petrol, I would say between 80 and 95 oC
I just got a 1994 STS and the temp seems to be at 215-226 city driving with the a/c on in 95 degree weather. Seems hot to me, maybe that's what the car needs to run at for the emissions. If this is normal I'll live with it.

I need to see the brake diagram for a 95' cadillac sedan deville
