It's an easy solution until the actual cause of the overheating (usually a clogged radiator, a weak water pump or a leaking gasket) becomes problematic enough to cause overheating with no thermostat installed.

I went with the low temperature thermostat... but it's a bit too low... car only gets up to 1/3rd temps on the highway. Which isn't good for gas mileage.
