Oh..I know its getting hot since the coolant is boiling by the time I get home. For now I just wired the alt fan to the primary so they both come on and it cools down much faster. Thanks for all the help and tips though guys.

I once had the same thing happen to me. I changed everything and the damn thing still ran hot. I even put a new lower temp thermostat in it to make it open at a lower temp, after 5 minutes of driving, still boiled. So I took the thermostat inside and held it with pliers in boiling water on the kitchen stove, it never opened! I put the car back together without the thermostat to go back to the parts store and the temp guage barely got out of the blue. The parts guy was a real asshole saying that thermostats aren't just bad out of the box, he gave me my money and I told him I didn't want it, I wanted another thermostat. He said something else was my problem. I took the new thermostat home and popped it in. Ran like a dream and has never overheated since, that was at least a year ago. Stupid parts guys.
