you need to provide more details

what temp thermostat
what is the setup on the motor
stock radiator? when was the last time it was flushed
coolant new?
Air pockets?
flex fan? meh
is the radiator air dam in place
water pump ok?
underdrive pulleys?
how hot does it get- stock gauges?

Generally if it gets warm in traffic or while stopped, that is the water pump or fan. If at highway speeds or cruising, lack of airflow
