Thermostat and hard starting? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just went to 180 thermostat from a 160. Noticed that starting a warm engine is just a bit harder than before- a couple of long cranks compared to one short one before. Idle seems a bit lower. Today was also 96 F out. Any possible connection between that T-stat and the harder starts?

Thanks.
