Have you properly bled your cooling system?

If that checks out, I would ensure that it is not your thermostat when it is overheating. Also, when it is overheating your fan should be on. If it's not, you should a proper diag. On your fan system.

If everything else checks out, you may have a possible headgasket issue. They are somewhat common on those vehicles. Are you loosing coolant?
