Check:
1. Thermostat. Replace with an OEM one from the dealer. 2. Radiator. Make sure it's not plugged up. 3. Radiator Cap. There cheap from the dealer and I consider them a maint. item. 4. Water pump. How many miles are on it? 5. Fan Clutch. Make sure it has some resistance
6. Temp. Sensor for the gage.Have you checked that the electric cooling fan is turning on when the
engine reaches operating temp? A faulty coolant temperature sensor will
not trigger the fan, or the fan itself or fan relay could be shot. You
might also have a head gasket leak that is not into the cylinders, so
it would overheat without causing milky oil. Another possibility is a
clogged radiator -- with 15 years on the vehicle, it's quite
possible. Have the cooling system pressure checked, and replace the
radiator cap for starters -- if the radiator cap isn't holding pressure,
overheating will occur rapidly.
