What if there is some crazy traffic jam on my way to vegas in the summer and I'm left sitting still for 10-15+ minutes in 90-100º weather? I-need to know this truck isn't gonna let me down.

Nothing to worry about. Don't sit at idle and hit 210 if you are afraid of it, though it isn't a big deal as I and others with big blocks have stated. Just turn it off for that 10+ minutes. In that wicked summer heat you have, drop your ratio of water to antifreeze down to 10-15% green stuff and the rest distilled water. Your truck has not failed you or overheated yet, so drive on and enjoy.
