Yep, I would think it's the auto trans. My '84 2wd short bed with a 2.3 and c3 auto NEVER got better than 19-20 no matter what I did to it or how I drove it. Not to mention it was a complete turd. When I swapped in a 2.3 turbo out of a Merkur and a M5OD out of a newer Ranger I could get 24 if...
If I were you, I would try to get one directly from Ford. Seems like no matter where I get thermostats from I have a hard time getting a good one. It took 3 tries to get a good one in my B2. Napa ones seem to be the worst. After a short time, the temp would go progressively higher each time...

Hi, I am starting to collect parts and pieces for my bronco. Here is what I am going for:
Front end: f150 coil spacers, d28 w/open 4.10 (can get for free), Rough Country steering stabilizer and 2" lift RC8000 shocks, urethane axle pivot and radius arm bushings
Rear end:7.5 w/4.10 and...
