If it,s overheating as you drive along,could be the thermostat sticking shut,or poor flow through the rad,(it's 10 years old so could be blocking). If it's just when in slow moving traffic,could be the electric fan not coming on--faulty thermo switch,wire off,motor u/s.Is the coolant level dropping?If so,and no leak apparent,you may have head gasket failure or just the pressure cap blowing off.Is auto box slipping,or not engaging high gear,brake dragging?Something in this list should help.
