My 350 starts to overheat on occasion. Its fine when its idle. Just does while driving. The thermostat, fan clutch and upper radiator hose were changed less then a a year ago. Is there anything else I should be looking for?

Re: another overheating issue........
are the fins of the radiator plugged up with junk? Did you notice a lot of corrosion when you replaced the thermostat or the upper radiator hose? What kind of shape is the water pump in?

Re: another overheating issue........
You might try having the radiator rodded out, could be a lot of funk in the tubes. Backflushing may help also. Does the coolant look rusty or muddy? I suggest using only antifreeze and DISTILLED water in the radiator.
