This was on 5s, and 45mph gearing, and higher outside temps than before (45-50f).

So the conclusion must be that my T8 2000kv is either worn out, has a problem, or just to small for the truck/driving style.

There's a chance that you got the motor too hot at one point and partially demagged it. That would cause temps to be higher.
