    Does the OEM thermostat cause long term problems when the truck leaves the factory?

    I have had the Tacoma spec CSF radiator almost since it came out. Decided to install the mishimoto thermo I have had sitting around for a month yesterday. My temp needle has looks really low driving it yesterday so I borrowed my buddies dongle that connects to an app. Around town sound 158 degrees on the freeway I have gotten it up to 167. I’m N/A bit still seems really low, not sure if the system isn’t fully purged. In not I’m gonna have to swap back to the oem

    It is. The thermostat and extra cooling capacity are keeping the coolant too low.

    Changed it back today, back up with 185-190 with the stock thermo and CSF radiator only. I found a UDR 170 degree one that I forgot I had, but won’t put that on unless I supercharge.

    Can you actually cool the engine too much?

    Yes you can. If your not running a supercharger or turbo its pretty easy to do. Hence the previous post of lower t state and CSF on NA setup.

    What temp does engine fan come on? 210° is hot but still safe.

    Too cool and engine oil is not the proper temp and viscosity and anti-wear additives might not all activate.

    Ok. Was making sure you didn't have electric fans.

    Ouch. Sorry to see that man. Some ingenuity could hopefully get that sorted back to normal. Maybe a little heat to prevent cracking?
