Over Heating HELP!!!

My ride's over heating. I drained the radiator & I'm replacing the upper & lower hoses today & filling it with new antifreeze plus water wetter. I'm hoping this does the trick, but any other input/advise would be great. BTW I have an aftermarket temp gauge so I can see a pretty accurate temp.
THANX! Peace...

Be sure you bleed it thoroughly, also check to see if you thermostat is working correctly.

Friend of mine had a bad radiator cap that wasn't sealing properly.

Also taken care of...new cap.

I found the problem...there was a small plug in the raditor. I flushed it severeal times. Finally filled with coolant & water wetter...runs like it did before. Thank guys so much for your advice/tips.

Peace!!!
