You did not state at what temperature you are running and when was the last time of a cooling system flush or fan clutch replacement.

195-205 is running temp.

Coolant Flush - Several Times in last 48 hours.

Fan Clutch - No Idea What or Where, I'll check.

Fan Clutch is fine, you could eat off the Fan Assembly..

You can Eat off all the new parts and anything surrounding them...

Did this overheating problem start after you installed the pump? Not an authority on the subject, but the serpentine belt 258s require a reverse rotation water pump and the v-belt 258s have the standard rotation pump. There is supposed to be an "R" on the reverse pump impeller and the two pumps are interchangeable. Could it be possible that you have the wrong pump since you say you just installed one?

One other thought, is the T-stat install correctly? (As in not backwards)
