What would cause a 1988 jeep Cherokee to overheat already replaced radiator?

There are several factors that can cause an engine to overheat, with a plugged radiator being one significant member of the list, but certainly not the only possibility.
1. sticking thermostat. 2. plugged radiator. 3. low coolant level 4. corroded or damaged water pump vanes.
Several possibilities can exist for low coolant level, the water pump, freeze plugs or radiator/heater hoses can leak, or, if the engine has overheated in the past, the head can warp, causing the head gasket to fail resulting in engine combustion pressures being released into the engine cooling jacket. Once that happens, the coolant will be forced out of the cooling circuit and the engine will quickly overheat. If that's the cycle that's going on, you'll never be able to keep coolant in the engine and it will quickly overheat.
That also the rubber hose that go into a metal hose may be blocking the lines because mine rotted from inside the hose and out.

Even though you have already replaced the thermostat, there are other issues that can cause your Nissan Maxima to overheat. Your fan may be stuck and not operating as it should.

Does that mean that you replaced the thermostat AND the sensor? If not, you really need to replace the thermostat. A sticking thermostat can cause temperature swings and potentially overheat the engine. BTW, BMW engines tend to have serious problems when they overheat. Don't let it overheat or you might be buying a new engine.
What else do you check after blocked hoses thermostat fans and radiator when your 1990 Honda Civic continues to overheat?

What would cause a 94 tempo to overheat replaced radiator and thermostat already?
Since you have replaced these two parts, have you checked the water pump ? With age, the impeller on the pump or bushings become used enough to reduce the flow of coolant quite a bit. This will cause over heating due to lack of circulation. Also did you flush the system to make sure that there are no blockages ? And, check the upper and lower hose to make sure they do not collapse.
Why would a car blow cold air and overheat at the same time if the thermostat has already been replaced and there is sufficient coolant?
Could be a head gasket or a warped or cracked Cylinder head.
Replaced lower intake gasket oil still in radiator What else could it be Could I have a cracked head?
blown head gasket is the usual reason for oil in coolant or radiator. sad part is if you have already replaced intake gasket, u wasted your money as you will have to replace again when you fix head gasket
After draining the radiator where is the coolant drain located on an 1987 Jeep Cherokee Chief I already drained radiator?
the radiator is the lowest point in the system also everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional manual available...in the reference section, you'll have to make copies of the important sections...good luck :)
Why does my 97 Subaru overheat but when you accelerate it cools off I already changed the thermostat 3 times and It has a brand new cooling system.?
has the water pump been changed. is the fan working correctly. sounds to me you are not getting enough cooler air through radiator. check the operation of the fan and that the radiator fins are not full of dirt and leaves
Nissan sentra 1.8 liter 03 keeps over heating ive already replaced the thermistat?
Low coolant? Cooling fan not working? Radiator plugged or restricted? Water pump not circulating coolant? System air bound? Defective radiator cap?
