Thermostat is broken or someone changed non-original thermostat.
Those do not work.
Only working (which is also oem) spare part is Motorad Cold climate zone thermostat 5461-82K.
Other does not work. Tested 10+ thermostat on here skandinavia.
motorad from rockauto is doing me good so far
MOTORAD 7416203 with 203 temp is good.
The SNN-2000-195 model is good and I have zero complaints about it. I've used them for awhile now.
All I could get on short notice was a motorad...been in there over a year now and haven't had an issue. It's an OE 195 temp and seems to open around 205-210.
I replaced the thermostat from a non-OEM to Motorcraft about a month ago, and the only difference has been the speed at which the dial moves from higher temps to its normal positon.
If your thermostat is from Nappa and says Motorad on it. Then replace it immediately. They are junk and stick closed.
I noticed mine is a "motorad" and it's the cheapest shittiest one and it's been giving me problems.
I had the same issues, less than 4 moths, this brand doesn't work.
I did notice before I recently got safety/emission test for plate renewal, i wanted to confirm the I/M readiness had ran, that at idle, the full trims were extremely rich. I'm leaning towards the lower tstat having something to do with that. I have a 195 motorad(blah) that i had just installed before the plenum work. ECT didn't break 178 degrees on a highway cruise at 95+ degrees. That seems to be right at the threshold for the current dtc.
