1 simple coolant question

Is the OEM thermostat temp 187? I am going to replace my old fluid and wanted to go ahead and do the thermostat as well.

thanks

Yeah i'm not a big fan of the 160. Pretty much be pointless w/o my fans being tuned to come on earlier. O"reillys has the 187(OE recommended temp) for like $20 with the housing. Parts houses don't always have the correct numbers so thats why I asked about the OEM temp.

hey killagt the new shocks helped my wheel hop problem. I am gonna test some more 2mrw, but earlier I took off from a stop and it hopped like once and started smoking the tires. I might go ahead and buy some new LCA's though for the added insurance. Much better with the GR2's instead of the Decarbons.
