2005 f250 5.4 litre reading hot

have a 2005 f250 that the gauge says it getting hot but you can shut vehicle off for 3 mins and it does not stay hot but will go to hot after running a little more and the fluid never starts boiling. I have replaced the temp sending unit under intake manifold any suggestions

use an infrared temperature non-contact thermometer gun to check the actual temp at the sender. See if the temp at the sender is matching the gauge or the gauge is wrong. Also scan the data and see if the computer agrees with the gauge temp.
