you are more then likely air locked. shake the truck while filling and you may have to fill it threw a hose or even a plug on the top. another solution is to take a water hose and run down twords the engin flushing the system not to clean it but to push some air out.

x2 You may have gotten a air pocket in your cooling system when you changed the water pump. That will cause you to overheat very fast. Try burping the system and then get back to us.
