Are the electric fans coming on? If not check the fans for power and if they check good then check the coolant temp switch for continuity. If they are coming on then the radiator may be clogged internally and not exchanging heat

You can get flush at the parts store, but if its that clogged id replace it. The flush would only buy a little time by wasting a lot of it.

Ok. If its still overheating then you may have a damaged head or block, especially if it overheats quickly from a cold start.
