That's an awful lot to have bad luck with new parts. Check your radiator cap, you might be building excessive pressure in the system.

You also may have some blockage in the coolant passages.

Also I assume you went thru the coolant temp sensor, etc. when you replaced the rad?

I wouldn't put too much stock in the temp gauge in the cab.
