Im on the highway now and ive been logging with Link v3 on and off every 15 mins. And right when my cool temp hit 226 my CEL blibbed on then off for a split sec. The weird this is that when the light came on, the engine revved higher like I downshifted
 
226 is the standard setting for overheat CEL in v3.

The rev sounds wierd to me.

Post a log for better help.
 
I got a big FMIC too. I hold steady at 206. 3 pullthrough fans. Have you checked your coolant level recently?
