After doing some research I decided I need to replace my thermostats, even if its not the cause to an overheating while at idle problem. The new thermostats are 140 degree and my originals are 160 degree. My engines normally run at 170 - 180 on the gauges. The place where I bought them insist the 140 degree are the right ones. Mind you I live in South Florida where the water temp is usually high and perhaps having the cooling system open up at 140 could be a benefit.
Are the 140 thermostats OK?
