What year is your truck.
Check all the connections on the elec fan it should
come on with A/C on follow the
wirers there is a thermo switch and it should
also be in with the A/C clutch to compleate
the ground and come on with A/C
Jump the fan itself and be sure it still works.
First thing I would do is get the system
back flushed and go from there

If you are overheating, its likely that you have lost some pressure in your cooling system. this is caused by a leak somewhere.
Auto parts stores usually can rent out a tool that attaches where the radiator cap goes and you pump it up to 15 psi to build up pressure. then you will see where its leaking. Then its usually an easy fix. You should be done in 20 minutes.

Was probably just a bad connection, by removing
and checking you solved the prob with out even knowing it.
First thing you do on any elect. prob is check
all the connections.
Good to hear it works now
