Your thermostat is stuck, Go to your Ford dealer and get a 192° Motorcraft thermostat. Your engine will thank you. Modern engines with aluminum heads need more heat for best thermal efficiency. Old habits have us overcooling our engines. You'll be surprised how much better your engine will run. Some time back I tested several brands of thermostats and the Motorcraft were the only ones that opened at the stated temp.
