Blown is on the right track. With the pressurize cooling system that our trucks run, if you get an air bubble in the system it can cause the truck to overheat or run hot. It sounds like there is air in the system.
I know it’s after the fact, but it’s a good practice to measure the coolant that comes out and then you know what needs to go back in.
Do you have a local shop around that you can ask how they pressurize cooling systems?

I did when the head gasket failed due to radiator fluid running down the side of the block. Until then, no.
With the engine cold, remove the radiator cap. Fill the radiator tube to the top. Start the truck and watch for bubbles to purge from the system. Continue to fill as the bubbles purge out. After about a minute or two kill the truck and put the cap back on. The next day repeat until the fluid is at the cap level.
There is also a radiator bleeder valve that Dodgetrucker mentioned. You can use that. Good luck.
