Answer I would first make sure that the electric fan is working properly. If it is then I would check that the water pump is circulating properly. When the vehicle is running at operating temp squeeze the top and bottom hoses. There should be alot of resistance when this is done. If it is easy to collapse the hose then the water pump is most likely not circulating fast enough of with enough force. This will need to be replaced. Also make sure there is no air in the cooling system. Air will cause to pump not to properly circulate the coolant properly also. Hope this helps you.

Why is your Lincoln mark 8 always running hot?
If you just flushed the system it has to be burped, take out the bolt at the top of where the hose goes in the intake and fill with fluid. Keep squeezing the hose to get the air out and continue to do this. If that's not your problem then maybe the thermostat is stuck and will have to be changed.

It could be your serpentine belt, thermostat or water pump.
