I've been monitoring my temps lately as well to evaluate how my cooling system is doing. I bought my 05 a little over a year ago and the previous owner gave me his receipts. There are some for Motorcraft parts but not for every part. It looks like he did the ones that he felt were necessary or was advised to. I'm running around 205 to 217 under load which comes back down when the load decreases. I did see 228 once several weeks ago but not lately. It seems normal to me and I certainly am not going to mess with it if it doesn't get worse. One question I do have is for those who know that their system is top notch with new components and no leaks. How often do you have to top up the system and how much? Never or after so many months for evaporation with distilled water only?
