210 should not be hot enough to puke coolant. At zero pressure, water boils at 212 and a 50/50 mix at 226. Just 8 psi raises water's boiling point to 233 and 50/50 to 248.

Make sure your rad. cap is for a closed system so your recovery tank will work. I think stock is 15#.

Gonna be interesting to see what temps you measure with an IR. Oh nice truck btw!
