2.0L EcoBoost Engine Shroud Cover Installed

And you won't.
You have a thermostat that controls engine coolant temperature when the engine is running.
Plus air flow from the fan and if you are moving you have added air flow. That helps mitigate heat stacking in the engine compartment.
All that STOPS ,
When you shut it down. That's when you get heat buildup. As many members in my HVAC thread stated hot air rises and cold air sinks.
When you shut your truck off all that hot air 180° engine temp to over 230° turbo temp is starting to rise. Without any venting those plastic and more so the foam engine covers trap the heat right where your plug wires and electrical connections are.
Back in the old days of turbochargers it was always recommended that you ran the engine for about 30 seconds sitting at idle to let things start to cool down. Otherwise you end up with coking on the bearings.
Granted they've got better lubrication better oils and intercoolers for turbochargers but once you shut down the heat is still there.
Take care

Reminds me. I've seriously got to add some vents in our 2 car garage. I just spent a few hours out in that sauna doing a wood project after driving my mav. for 1/2 hour.

My wife thinks I'm crazy but once a vehicle leaves our garage for the day - it doesn't go back in until the sun goes down and the garage door stays shut during the day.

Keeps the garage in the upper 70s and in turn - keeps my bedroom and loft (office) MUCH cooler.

Installed new worn out garage door last year with "insulated garage doors"....made a world of difference in summer and winter.

Have a number of motorcycles that have "crash bars", engine covers that protect the motorcycle ...When I have them serviced I get charged an extra hour of labor to remove guards (ie: Engine Cover). Anyone run in to this as an issued of being charged to remove engine cover on Maverick at their FORD dealer?

I have a screened in porch that I am installing windows, floor, and insulation. I am going to put a mini-split on it to heat/cool it and then run another split over to the garage!
