Radiator could be plugged , and the Duramax fan does move more air . Have you tried a new temp sensor . Also that truck wont last long running at 210 degree temps . Could be the start of a head gasket going bad

Yes, radiator is likely plugged between the radiator and the AC condensor. Should remove the radiator and clean thoroughly with scrubbing bubbles and a hose.

Good luck!
