Along with the new fluids, did you "clean" and flush the radiator?

 

[s_a_roehrig]

yep...flushed with a radiator chemical/cleaner...

Old fluid did not have any abnmormalities...

How is the thermostat?

Are you basing the overheating on gayge readings? or?

 

[s_a_roehrig]

Don't know about the thermo..maybe I will change that this weekend....

I am basing the temp off of the gauge and the fact that water starts boiling out the fluid box.
