    matt thats typical of the tempo to run a bit cool.... the thermostat is a 160* which generally isn't stock but i dont know for sure.... they do make them though.... the heating up at idle is normal because of the switched electric fan.... i wouldn't worry about it though.... the biggest issue with it running on the cool side is the heater getting warm enough for the winter.... i'd switch it to a 180 degree thermostat if she doesn't want to blow hot enough..... also watch it on that fan.... those electric fans ford used to use dont always want to switch on at the right temp, sometimes only after the vehicle is already too hot, and most parts makers cant seem to get the right temp on the switch.... so you sooner or later might have to put an actual toggle on the fan
