The radiator was replaced 8 months ago, worked fine but now it gets hot on long trips. Must stop to add water and cool down. Coolant is added. The head gasket has had to be redone twice due to overheating.

Hello,

If there are no leaks it sounds like the head gasket is blown again which could be due the head not being resurfaced or you have a cracked cylinder head.

Here is a guide to see if the head gasket is blown.

Please let us know what happens.

Best, Ken
