I recently had my thermostat replaced on my 1999 powerstroke and it is not maintaining a high enough temperature. My mechanic wants to replace it with the same thermostat that he says Ford is recommending which is a 192 degree thermostat. However some of the web sites that I have searched is saying it should be a 197 or 203 degree thermostat. What is Correct?

I run the 203 thermostat as I have for the past 6 years. Most of the time when my truck is on the road, it has a 5th wheel attached to the *** end. Most of the time when the 5th wheel is attached to the *** end we are taking it someplace far from home. The furthest we have had it so far was from our home in northeast GA to Seattle WA and back.
