2017 Freightliner M2106 with 6.7 Cummins (Matco Tools truck) started running hot around 215 degrees going down the highway at 70mph. Water temp goes to normal as soon as truck starts idling. Outside air temp today was around 90.
Has Allison 2100 HS automatic transmission.
6.7 Cummins runs hot at highway speed and normal at idle

How do the radiator/condensor/ charge air cooler look? No debris/dirt packed in the fins or between all the coolers? No folded over fins?

If it only does it on the hwy and not sitting still it's an air flow problem. Your cooling package (rad,condenser,charge air) is blocked or plugged up.
I'd take the front end apart and wash each core thoroughly. -
