The engine runs hot when on the interstate (running around 70 mph or more), but is fine when city driving. Do you have any idea why this is or how I can identify the problem since it doesn't occur all the time?

Replaced the radiator last year - it was corroded. Haven't tried any repairs yet for the hot engine problem.

Try checking the thermostat and radiator cap for a start, then report back your findings.
