Yes, the thermostat would be a very good candidate. Follow the top radiator hose back to the engine block. The hose connects to a housing that is bolted to the engine. Remove the hose, remove the two bolts that hold the housing and the thermostat should be right under it. Make sure that you thoroughly clean the surfaces, both the housing and the engine before you try to put it all back together. Some thermostats hosings are sealed with a gasket, others are sealed with a rubber seal. Whichever yours has, make sure you replace the seal. While you're at it, inspect the hoses and replace any that are bulging, leaking or brittle. Fill the coolant reservoir with fresh coolant after you have put everything back together. It's a very easy fix and should help with the heat.

I suspect that either your thermostat is plugged with debris from the radiator change or that the thermostat was replaced backwards. The spring side should be towards the block.

Try taking both heater hoses off and run a garden hose through the core with lots of pressure to be sure its not plugged. If the core is ok the radiator is probably plugged and will have to be boiled out or replaced.

Radiator coolant pouring out from behind radiator more on passenger side car overheating what can cause this on a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Engine Coolant is probably coming out of a small hole on the bottom of your water pump. This usually means your seals are gone in the pump and that the pump should be replaced. This happened to my '93 Jeep Grand Cherokee on I-40 near Knoxville about 3 years ago. NEW ADDITION: I am having the same problem with my 94 grand Cherokee today, we replaced the water pump and the problem still persists, there may be a hole in the radiator like mine.. just replace the radiator.. that's what im doing
