    Reverse flush the heater core, engine, and radiator. If the overheating problem persists, replace the radiator. These links may give you some ideas:

    If you have an Electronic Air Temperature Control (EATC) system, find out how to perform the self-test diagnostics. On my Ford, you turn the ignition to RUN, simultaneously push OFF and Floor buttons; then, within two seconds, press the AUTO button. The test may run as long as 30 seconds. Record all DTCs displayed. The self-test is completed when 888 appears in the center of the climate control display window of the ICP. To exit the self-test and retain all intermittent DTCs, press the "-" (cooler) side of the TEMP button. Always exit the self-test, before powering the system down. Many control problems can be solved just by running the self-test.
