What degree Thermostat?

that may be true when the temp is cooler, say a 65 and lower, but here in AZ were normal 75+, obviously not during a storm or something but even during the winter its still at least in the 70's...

my motor still runs at 200 weather its 75 or 120 lol... i will admit when i drove to mats last year and it snowed on me it was only at 160 but damn, talk about freak!

If your cooling system is running at 200 degrees with a 160 thermostat, you're producing too much heat and/or your cooling system is at it's capacity. You should have more cooling system than your engine requires so the thermostat can do it's job. Also, if your system is running at 200 degrees, what's the point of the 160 thermostat? Why not run a 180 or 195? Once the thermostat is wide open, it's not going to make it run any hotter.
