Replacing a bad water pump can help to stop a motor from overheating. Hopefully that was the cause of the overheating. If it does not stop the overheating, try replacing the thermostat.

Then, disconnect a hose and see if, by starting the vehicle, if there's water pressure. If not, its water pump time!
