If it's not that check your radiator cap for pressure.

After performing the two things above and it's still overheating I am willing to bet it's the radiator or your fan. Do you still have the original clutch fan or do you have an aftermarket one?

the pressure cap is new and the fan is a flex fan i don't believe it is the switch or sender becase the motor is running hot
