Seems a bit low to me. Mine is happy around 190 to 200.

That's about the lowest mine gets (freeway cruising in cool weather). I wouldn't worry as long as you know you have a 195 oem thermostat.

I would be happy to have under 210, even with my new dual elec fans conv., my 98 stays pretty steady on 210ish.

That's 155F and that ain't right. Bad t-stat (or lack of one), bad gauge, bad sending unit, bad electrical connection or may be some combo of the above.

I say bad thermostat, it's probably stuck open. What is your heat like? do you have heat sitting still, or just moving?

+1. Mine had a 160 stat in it from the PO and it ran warmer than that. It is much happier with the 195 I just put in it.
