thermostat

Hello, I live in Winnipeg. It has been -30 for a while now. I have an oil pan heater and an inline block heater in the lower rad hose. My van is a 93 super exceed. I can get the motor started no problem, but it does not come up to temp, so the interior heater does not blow hot. Now, my question is: Do these vans even have thermostats? Or does the coolant free flow through the block? If there is a thermostat, can I find out what kind or how to get one for low temp, to get the engine temp up, and the heater.

Thank you,

Brandelica

quite likely you have the wrong thermostat, I went through last winter that way, but this winter I have the right thermostat and it makes a HUGE difference!
