What temp thermostat?(doesn't really matter if your hitting 220) You pribably have more horsetorques than the radiator can handle. Utah has some pretty steep grades, and its hot as hell. No head gasket problems?

Being a 96 the only gears I'm aware of are 3.55's and 4.10's unless you've swapped in 3.73's?

35" tires on 3.55 gears is probably your problem. Be better suited with 4.10's for towing heavy.

Can you hear the clutch fan doing its job? Will it keep a rag stuck to the radiator at idle?

I had the same problem two seasons ago when I installed a mishimoto intercooler I found later that the intercooler was blocking the airflow so I put the stock one back on and then it quit overheating

Running 1200 degrees on the exhaust for extended times translates to your hot coolant.
You need more radiator, lighter loads, or ,forgive my man law violation, less fuel.

Marine injectors may not be helping?

Right on. Take away a little fuel on the nozzle, and likely gain usable power.

I have bin wondering if there is timing issues and possible that the cylinders are firing sooner or later cause extreme heat but then you would see high egts ?
