2 days later ... we have changed the thermostat, water pump ( it was leaking), drive belt, drained and refilled the system, did a continuity test on the coolant sensor, then was online and found a site about the damage that "DEX Cool" causes and the lawsuits. So we again drained the whole system removed the rad reverse flushed it and foun at our local Lordco automotive an antifreeze that is universal for both regular and Dexcool systems and we added a product that claims to make water wetter and improve coolant by 20 degrees. Finished that all up today and after the refill took the truck and a run on our local backroads (all mountain driving) the engine is still running a little warm for my liking hitting the 112 C range but it never actually overheated. To early for celebrations yet but a vast improvement.

If anyone has any other ideas please let me know
