I have a 2005 Ford Mustang running hot. I have replaced everything form thermostat and sensor and water pump. It ran great for 2 cold weeks but the weather got warmer and so did the car. Could it have too much anti-freeze.?

You really can't over fill the coolant. It will push out what it doesn't want via the overflow. Make sure the cooling fan is turning on. Also, make sure none of the radiator hoses are collapsing when it is overheating.
