How old is the water pump and is it a high flow pump. Starting with the simple things first, pull the thermostat and make sure it's opening at 175-180 degF. Bowl of water on the stove with an accurate thermometer and it doesn't matter if its new or not, I had a brand new one fail last year and if it's not a high flow thermo. replace it with one that is.

Standard pump, was installed in April of 07 when the engine was built, has 300 miles on it. I checked the stat with boiling water before I installed it in the engine and it functioned properly, I can't remember, but I think it is a standard replacement stat.
