Good morning,

Make sure all the air is out of the system. Air in the system will make it run hot.

Are the cooling fans working when it heats up?

The radiator can be clogged internally and limiting circulation throughout the engine.

I attached a wiring diagram of the fans for you to view. Check the fuses I circled for power on both sides.
