I've been holding off from updating the thread since the fourth of July, but I can now proudly say that the overheating problems are resolved.
The 34" radiator along with the coolant flush did the job and truck is back to her old reliable self. Rush hour freeway traffic in 110+ degre weather with both high and low humidity is no problem at all.
I'm always keeping an eye on the temp gauge but it's just the habit I acquired during her overheating days (knock on wood it doesn't happen again).
Once again, thank you to everyone who chimed in with their suggestions and experience.
