I quite agree with you, Leon...I was lucky to finally hit 190. My thoughts run to having a system that has a surplus of cooling...so that the T-stat actually does control what temperature the motor runs at. My preference would be around 180 as the TH400 wants to stay around 175 or so...and as I plan on towing, would love to have a little cushion...but compared to what I was running, I'm thrilled with 190!
