In many ways the adjustable ones are the easiest to fit and allows you to set the temp to suit and cost about £25 from CBS.
I think the running temp of the 4.3 v6 is about 200 to 210 F so I guess a fixed switch of, on 100 off 95 C (212-203F) should be about right.
Check what the recommended running temp is.

Soooooo apparently 180 to 200 degrees is the running temp. Well so some forum said.
