Answer
Chad, the first thing you should do is make sure that you have plenty of coolant.  Next, you need to make sure that your cooling fans are coming on.  Next, you need to make sure that your thermostat is opening, you can do this by grabbing on to the top radiator hose when the car is hot (remember, the hose will be hot, so you might want to wear gloves)  You should feel water running in the hose.  If the hose feels like it is stiff, as in "full of air," and you can't squeeze it, then more that likely your thermostat is stuck closed.   Try these things and let me know what comes of it.  Good luck,   Jason
