Please tell us more about the over heating. What is the indicator of this - does the dash gauge peg out, are you losing coolant, or something else? Does it overheat under normal driving or only when working hard (like towing)?
Do you have access to a code reader?
Are there any mods to the truck that you know of?
What coolant is in it and is the degas bottle at the proper level?

Did you have other symptoms that led you to change out the water pump.
See the special instructions for changing coolant in the 6.0... it is not that simple.
Immediate guess: check EOT/ECT differential... if it is large... you bought yourself a new Oil and EGR cooler.
I assume you do not have exhaust gases / oil in coolant.
