I have a 95 GMC k1500 extended cab 4 x 4 with a 350 (5.7 litre) TBI with 190,000. I have owned this truck for many good years and it has always ran cool. I have replaced and checked the thermostat several times but it still runs very cool like 150-160 degrees even on the hottest days, and in the winter it barely gets warm. Is this common and could it be due to the massive mechanical fan and large engine compartment. Is there a way to fix the problem, such as installing an electric controlled fan.

I would hook up a manual guage to it and get a true coolant temp reading. Then maybe you could look into an electric fan kit with temp sensor turn on features. You should have a choice of temp sensors to pick for the temp you want to run.
