thermostat not opening entirely, or you've got some patching goo plugging up your radiator. or its a water pump.

you could try running that cooling system flush thru your truck and see if that helps. or drain and fill with straight water and that will tell you if your coolant is just worn out.

hope that helps

you could check to see if the rad is clean it gets dirt and crap built up. blowing it off usually takes care of it.
