check ur pressure cap. it may have gone bad. if the pressure valve isn't opening up to relieve the pressure then it will overheat fast.

try flushing the water jackets. thy may be blocked and check for air pockets in the cooling system too.

To the original poster, what happened? Did you get it fixed? Just curious since I'm having overheating problems too and I am trying to do research to figure it out.

Make sure you're using a factory type two stage thermostat.If not the bypass will let coolant run to the radiator in 75% force and wont cool.
