Did you bleed the system? might have been a pocket of air causing you to over heat..... or yout head gasket is bad. What kinda Fan do you have?Stocker? aftermarket electric? Fan shroud yes or no?

I'm guessing you are having major flow issues with your radiator. Take it to a shop and get the system pressure tested. It's probably so gunked up that the super flush does nothing. My friend is currently having the same problem. Also check the condition of the mechanical fan/clutch.

I'm guessing since youve replaced everything else and you've blown a radiator hose off....I'm really thinking its your radiator. Go get it flow tested.
