I don't have any experience with these 6.7L's, but I CAN say this.

K.I.S.S - Keep It Simple Stupid. Start with the small things, another fellow said thermostats, seems unlikely that both would go bad, but I assume they're cheap fixes and would start there. I can't tell you how many times something was acting ( they function, just acting abnormal ) up with my vehicles and I immediately assumed the worst, replaces an expensive item or something that was off the wall, only to figure it out later that it was a very simple fix...

Second time I’ve mentioned it. Revisit the recent flush for air. Tranny and engine oil hit 240+ in these trucks.

Thanks for the reminder.... I do have a question... How would one check for such an issue?

The only way I know how to do it without a vacuum tool, is to park the truck on an incline (the steeper the better), open the cap on the radiator and get the engine good and hot. Don't start with a hot engine, of course, since opening the radiator cap on a hot engine is dangerous. The air will come out the top of the radiator. After you don't see bubbles for a while, you're done.

The recovery tanks in these trucks are pressurized, so that may be an alternate way, but I have no experience with that.

If anyone can recommend a good vacuum tool that works with multiple brands, I would be interested in buying a tool.
