Check your belts...
Coolant percentages good? Over 50/50 will cause over heating problems due to boiling / cavitation.
When hot check the radiator for cool spots across the front core (poor circulation) water flows in the tank well reguardless...
Do a flush... I used a gallon of CLR calcium lime rust remover or equivalent, let run for 30-40 mins and flush for about the same time.
Verify your temp with a IR or manual gauge... Could be a sending unit or gauge malfunction... or...
Yank it...
