A couple more things to make sure of.
Normal temp is 190-210 on most GM products and these are guide lines not stone.

No air pockets in the system. Buy a cheap over flow plastic tank and install it. Make sure you have a good mix of water antifreeze.
Buy the shroud to fit the truck. By year model. When you have a fan pulling air with out a shroud it pulls the air with the least resistance so any air moving is around the hood and motor not through the radiator when sitting still.
