Overheating help!

When driven gl 450, overheats temperature needle barley jumps to 120, pull over the road and turn off truck, Engine fan working no leaking of coolant. Top of reservoir tank top hose is shaking into reservoir, let the truck cool down open up reservoir tank hot steam comes up and water starts shooting out. What could be making truck do this, 3rd time I burped it 2 twice already and added 2 gallons of antifreeze.

Res tank top hose shakes and upon opening tank steam comes out when overheated from hose location inside res tank.

Water pump isn't pumping, thermostat isn't opening, or head gasket is toast.
