That is good insurance on an older car. Those things should be replaced every 100,000 mile/170,000 Km if the car does a lot of slow traffic runs which works the switch alot. The switch can get off of its switch point calibration from mechanical wear. It happens.
If you still run hot with a new stat you may want to look at the radiator being flow restricted. If there has been hard water used in its coolant mix over the years it can be growing stalactites and stalagmites. I must be one of the few that likes the hot stat for greater engine efficiency. It will just cruise a little warmer and produce less pollution and infinitely small (in theory) better economy. Then I guard it with good switch and relay to make sure the fan will run. Your eye is you best safety item, keep a scan check on the gauges every few minutes just the keep the fighter jock in you on the edge and alert!
