Temperature Question
i have a 94 4.0 and i just recently changed my thermostat to a 190 from a 180, when i had the 180 the temp would stay below the N on the "NORMAL" gauge and when going up a hill get to about the "R" but never past the "M". Now that i have the 190 it goes up and down from the "N" all the way to the "A" is that normal? the temp goes up when i stop and it goes up and down when i drive... im just asking becuase im used to all my vehicles staying at a certain temp and if it goes up from there then thats when i know something is wrong

your engine is going to get hottest when you idle and coldest at crusinig speed. personally i would have kept the 180 thermostat if you are running a stock engine, however the 190 is fine. your engine will flucuate tempreature anywhere from 170 to 210 degrees depending on what you are doing.
