Oil/Coolant temps 2015 SLT

[EdGs]

I was on my way to work this am, and noticed my coolant and oil temps running a little higher than I have seen before.

221°F ish for both. I dont recall seeing them that high before. I am getting older, though.....lol

2015 SLT QC 2WD 5.7L 8SPD. Bone stock.

162k miles on the odo.

Coolant is full, reservoir is too.

Was thinking maybe something is starting to give way. T-stat sticking, water pump, clutch fan, ags sticking, just not sure if there's something going on or not.

Thoughts?

Need some context, have the following ever been changed?
Coolant
Thermostat
Water Pump
Belt
Last oil change

You'd hear the clutch fan sticking, hard to ignore.

Were you towing/driving spirited/hot day/whatever?

 

[EdGs]

Coolant and tstat changed at 107k ish
Belt, too. same time
Water pump original, no leaks seen
Oil changed approx 2k miles ago

Trans temp solid ~ 190° +/-

Not sure what clutch fan sticking sounds like

No towing, Spirited driving? Maybe a little , but not excessive. Traffic has been an absolute b*tch here in SWFL since Hurricane Ian, though.

Usually if the clutch starts going south,it'll either squeak like hell,or you'll notice a constant "roaring" style noise from it Ed,not always,but those are 2 indicators it might be leaving the chat room,lol

You know, I have heard a short (1/2 second) squeak/groan at startup for awhile. Not every time but maybe 2/3 - 3/4 of the time. Havent been able to pin it down, and havent seen anything else out of the ordinary either, the truck has been really good (hope I didn't jinx myself....lol)

Did you try spraying the belt with WD40 or belt dressing to see if it makes a differance in the noise Ed

 

[EdGs]

No, and the noise is not really like a squeak, lower pitched than that, more of a groan. I wish I could record it.

I have to drive a bit tonight so I will watch my temps and see what happens.

Thoses oil temps I see rather often in fairly warm weather. But usually don't see 220 for coolant unless towing and even then it wouldn't be constant 220F most of the time. Oil temps can easily rise into the 240s or even 250 if towing.

When I ran it after work, it was normal. Or at least, more normal.
