Yes, you should always replace the thermostat when servicing the cooling system. Also make sure the radiator fins are clean and not clogged with debris. Be sure to bleed the system as a trapped pocket of air will cause overheating. Make sure the fan motor is also operating correctly.

The most common cause of overheating is a thermostat stuck in the closed position.

Antifreeze would boil out of the overflow. I changed my radiator and it fixed the problem.
