Replace the thermostat a cheap fix and then comeback or read below for your possibilities:
Try replacing the thermostat-not it do the following below:
Have it block and pressure tested-do the block first to pinpoint a combustion leaking into the cooling system or a gas analyzer to sniff for hydrocarbons at the radiator fill neck.
Pressure test: do not do a pressure test if there's leakage at the headgasket this might cause coolant into the cylinders and lock it up or bend a connecting rod if cranked thereafter. The headgasket should be repaired before doing the pressure test.
If the block and pressure test passes check the following: Thermostat,Clogged radiator,Fan clutch,Radiator electrical fan,collaspe hoses,water pump
Hope this help Good LUck
