I still say your going to have to make a custom fan shroud to get the full benefit of sucking air through your whole radiator. Your only using around 50-60% of your radiator at idle.

Why do you think your truck is running hot? Are you looking at your stock water temperature gauge or are you monitoring the temperature via the OBDII port under the dash? I'm just wondering because the stock dash gauge is pretty inaccurate according to alot of people on this site.
