Your water sounds is an air bubble in the heater core. Your cooling system has sucked in air somewhere and it has all collected in the heater core. You need to find where your leak is that is letting the air in the system then bleed the cooling system. Have a mechanic perform a pressure test on the cooling system to find the leak.

You are either low on coolant or have air in the system.

i would try bleeding the system to remove any possible air pockets. Just run the truck from cold to fully warm with the cap off. Keep resevoir full when doing so.

Could be a sign of a blown head gasket, too. I know that sound, unfortunately, all too well.
