Is this happening at idle or driving?

Measure you fluid temps to see when your fan switch is coming on to make sure its at 195F and not any higher.

Could an old/clogged/ never flushed radiator start causing that kind of symptoms?

What temperature is your coolant at when your fan switch turns on?
