Our 2002 explorer is overheating. We've replaced the thermostat , the waterpump, and the radiator. My husband drove it for about 80 miles, mostly highway, then it overheated again very quickly. HELP!!!"

The head gasket is probably blown. Get a pressure tester. Advance Auto and Auto Zone lend them out.

Here is a walk through diagnostic for your situation. Just follow the link;
