Any idea on what the bone stock thermostat is rated for temperature wise? Like is it 180, 190, 200, or higher?

And thank you gDMJoe for the picture that helps a lot.

A thermostat's temperature rating is the temperature (+-3°) at which it will start to open.

So, based upon the provided spec's, the 5.0L's would be a 190° thermostat (or possibly 195°).
