Replace the radiator cap, and make sure there is a good connection with the hose that runs from the radiator to the overflow.
Its because the cooling system is not building up pressure when it gets hot, either because of the radiator cap, or there is a leak in the cooling system.
Maybe the wrong type radiator cap was installed. Not all caps allow coolant to flow back into the engine.
Add a bottle of the Bars Head Gasket Fix it's about 30$ it should solve the problem also get a radiator cap from Crysler
