I've run without a thermostat thru many Texas summers without any problems (not in my current truck). If I were to put in a 180 t-stat it would just stay open once the motor warmed. It would be equal to not having one. My current truck has a 160 t-stat but it never sees that temp in the summer. In the winter it stays at 160. Winter without the t-stat would drop temps down to 150.
