Are you using a thermostat?
Are you using a temperature gauge or portable temperature gun?
Out flow at the very top of engine, above water pump, should have the warmest coolant. Inflow at bottom of engine/radiator normally would be about 20 degrees cooler than coolant at the out flow, top of engine.
If your temperature readings are correct, I would be concerned about some kind of obstruction that could be restricting the syphon effect.

The truck was set up for touring and I have two thermometers..a motometer on the radiator cap and a temperature probe in the gooseneck. Both are pretty close on the temperature reading. I will leave the water level as is and see if the puking stops.
Thanks,
