Another problem

I flushed my cooling system last week with VC-9 and distilled water and filled it back up with Ford Gold Antifreeze. Since then, the fan wants to run pretty much all the time. I'm pulling a trailer. The truck is a 2003 all stock - never been chipped. I never noticed it running like this before I flushed it. The fan keeps cycling on and off.

Take off the cap on the degass bottle, make sure it is full and let it idle for 20 minutes. refill bottle, and then run the **** out of it for awhile, it will purge on it's own. Also run the heat on high to purge that system.
