Tune or Tstat??

[mikeH]

Hey guys, i see everyone is running anywhere from 180-220 degrees. Even on the hottest day here in the UK (which was maybe 80-85) mine has almost never seen over 186-190...i always run right at 170...maybe if im rolling around in a lower gear it will get close to 180. Does this mean i have a 170 tstat? because i bought the truck with 19,XXX and it looked (and was said to be) bone stock. Now i have also heard that a tune will drop this temp too..? What is my sure-bet way of finding out how/why my truck is running at 170 whether it be a tune or a tstat? Thanks!
