    It sounds like you need to replace the radiator in the truck with a new one. But you could try to have it cleaned at a radiator shop.Also if there was a black guard under your truck and its not there it will make it over heat. The guard is there to force air thur the radiator,if it is missing the fan will pull air from under the truck not through the radiator.
