truck overheats
Hi rlc and welcome to FTE!
You have a few things that could be happening.
1: A steep slow grade is going to reduce the amount of air going through your rad.
2: You probably don't have a fan shroud - which would help the fan pull the air through the radiator.
3: You truck is old enough that you may not have a efficient water pump and it is causing cavitation.
4: Your water pump belt may not be tight enough and is slipping.
5: A double core would help if the rest of the system is okay.
