6.1 Temperature ?

CND,

I think the factory Tstat is a 213*, so yeah operating temp should be about as stated. However I understand that Mopar ran such a high temp to pass emissions standards, not any other reason

I started with the factory stat in mine, and was having trouble with hot starts and stop/go traffic because of underhood temps causing fueling problems. I dropped to a 185* and it runs like a champ staying under 200* and resolving my problems
