Default 5.0 cold start mode.

Greetings
Im getting my nugget ready for summer. Its a GU Patrol 4x4 with a 5.0 in it.
I want it to run as cool as humanly possible as I tow the caravan ect with it.
What temperature dies the AU 5.0 come out of cold start mode and switch over to normal running in the 5.0?
Im happy for it to run cold but don't want it running cold enough to be in constant cold start mode and drinking like a fish.
Cheers

Once over 150 f its running the same fuel, or close enough to, till 210 f. Cold start mode only lasts 60 seconds then it switches to the base fuel table which is temp and load based.
