    All you can fix yourself is cleaning the fins on the radiator. Either the coolant isn’t circulating or isn’t getting cooled off during it’s passage through the radiator.

    If the radiator fan is working and the radiator is clean then you have a circulation issue. I don’t know much about trucks but in cars if the thermostat isnt opening the engine will overheat because the coolant never makes it to the radiator. Is there someway to check if the radiator is hot while you are having your overheating issue in the engine? If the radiator is cool while the engine is overheating the thermostat is likely at fault. The water pump might have issues too.

    Take it to a shop. Could be water pump, could be head gasket. All we can do is guess.

    Best thing for you to do is get it properly diagnosed.

    But these things will over pressurize the cooling system.

    Cracked egr cooler
    Bad air compressor head gasket
    Injector cups

    Good luck
