Ever thought about a bad thermostat or a bad head gasket (exhaust gases
getting into the coolant, heating it and buiding pressure)?

Does it overheat at freeway speeds or around town, stop and go?  Around town
would suggest a clogged radiator or inoperable radiator fan switch.

This is all just based on my personal experience.  -John
