The factory pusher fan is pretty high volume. If your replacement is not high flow then that could be your problem.

If the car heats up when standing still then is ok on the highway its usually a fan issue not radiator.

If the car heats up on the high way its usually a flow issue (Radiator blocked)

Of course , there are exceptions however this helps to determine where the issue is.

You may want to replace the thermostat and the orings in the thermostat housing. Often people do not replace the rear thermostat oring, this leads to issues.

Also I would wash the radiator and the area between the radiator and AC condensor.

I still would bet its that 'pusher' fan. Dont use some corney Import autozone fan on there.

Also is your shroud in good condition ? Running without a shroud is not going to keep the air flowing where it needs to go.

(wshew. Coffee makes me type fast..)
