What's the hottest T-stat available?
I'd like to get a 210° T-stat if I could. I never tow, and I find the the engine runs way too cold for my liking, especially in the winter.
What the hottest temp available? I'd appreciate a Cummins P/N if you have one.

hohn, it doesnt matter what thermostat you put in these trucks....that cold bitter winter air will not allow it too run that high. The only way too fix it is either a winter front, or the standard cardboard infront of the rad.
FYI, without something blocking the air....My 190* t-stat will not open in the winter, unless i am only driving in the city....this is below 0*F

could you place shims under the spring to set a higher preload? this would be a cheaper alternative, provided it could be done, to get what you are looking for. maybe a combo of a front and some shims and a higher temp could be achieved...or take out your coolant
