Hey yall. I'm looking for some advice. I recently purchased a certified pre-owned 2017 Ford F150 3.5L EcoBoost with 50,000 miles and I am noticing the engine temp running hot and causing the fans to kick on. I took it to the dealer and they checked for coolant leaks but did not find any. I have noticed that the engine temperature gauge begins to display the current temperature above 226 degrees. Apon accelerating up to highway speeds (80mph in SD) and after cresting a hill the temperature gauge reads 230-236 degrees. It usually disappears after 30-60 seconds however, after getting off the highway I can hear the fans blowing full blast. I only notice the temperature reading up in the 230's after accelerating to 80 mph or after cresting a hill. This happens regardless of having the AC or heat on and I am not toeing anything. This is my first ford truck and I am not sure if this is normal or if something is wrong. Any ideas on what is going on?

My truck has the same problem as described here. Did not start the overheating till after the second timing chain replacement. Towed a 24ft car trailer over 18,000 miles and never got a high temp. Now towing the trailer empty the temp stay up on the 230-235 range half the time.
The dealer change the water pump and thermostat and on the way home I got the temp spike again. Going back to the dealer again for this.
