Did you test the new thermostat? Just cause it’s new doesn’t mean you good. You should also flow test the radiator, it could be a combination of the two causing the overheat.

Maybe you got a defective thermostat, unfortunately it happens sometimes. Or maybe you put the thermostat in upside down. Or maybe you didn't bleed the air out of the cooling system. Hope that helps! Jim
