Try removing it and see if that helps.
I believe this is your answer. Electric fans work great at idle, but at speed they block air from flowing through the radiator. There is a discussion about this exact issue over on chevelles.com. You might try experimenting with removing the electric fans, bolting on a simple mechanical fan, and seeing if your truck stays cool at cruising speeds.
