Hi,
Firstly check that the engine is actually over heating, you may have a faulty water temperature sender unit.
Also check your gauge is ok, disconnect the water temp sender wire and the gauge should either go to hard hot or cold. If neither happens your gauge is faulty.
Let me know how you get on.
Also check your fans are coming on to cool the radiator, if the engine is getting to over half way on the temperature gauge and the fans are not coming on then you have a faulty coolant fan sensor.
Replace this and you should be ok after that.
Thanks
Jason

Overheating
You have a thermostats which can rust and lock up to prevent water from flowing which can cause the car to overheat. Depends where you live most times it is NOT needed and can be removed unless you live in winter states which gets cold and you want to generate heat inside the car. There is only 3 parts, the radiator, water pump and thermostat that can cause this issue. Good luck.

2000 jeep grand cherokee, when idling keeps overheating have replaced radiator, water pump, radiator hose ,cap & thremostat, and relay. as long as Im driving the temp stays at 210, please offer...
Since you have already changed everything that you have, I can not think of anything new that might cause your Jeep to overheat. Are you going by the meter in your vehicle or doing separate temperature measurements? I had a defective temperature gauge that caused me to chase my tail till I did separate measurements.

My temperture gauge on the dash is reading as if my cars over hea
There's probably air in your system. Next to the water pump is a stand pipe with a bleeder screw. Loosen this and run the engine until coolant starts to bubble out. Air in the system will keep coolant from flowing and the engine will over heat.

2002 dodge 1500 Changed radiator, thermostat, and hoses. No heat
Why was radiator replaced?Did it have heat before ? If it was plugged, the heater core may also be plugged. Try flushing it with a water hose in both directions. I dont know why the botton radiator hose would be cold, the radiator should be a uniform temp and the air coming through the radiator should be HOT, when the engine is at operating temp. What condition was the old coolant? if it was rusty, the water pump may have lower flow than normal.

Car is still heating up after flushing the radiator, checking all hoses and changing the radiator cap, havent changed the thermostat but the symptoms dont seem like it would be the thermostat unless it is...
One good way to tell if the thermostat is the issue is to carefully touch the lower radiator hose when the engine over heats. If the lower hose is cool there is no circulation through the radiator and the thermostat is the problem.
Unless there there is an obstruction in the hose blocking coolant flow.
Has the lower radiator hose been changed recently? Make sure there is a spring in the hose to prevent it from collapsing and restricting coolant flow.

Heater is not working properly.
At operating temperature is you car at the middle mark in between 160F and 210F? If not your thremostat is stuck open not allowing your engine to warm up before the coolant from the radiator enters the engine. Any "CHECK ENGINE SOON". lights? Just had a similar prob. Changed the thermostat and light went ount at next drive!
