hot or cool spots on the radiator? This could be clogged radiator. Is the lower rad hose hot when engine is warmed up? If it is cool it could be your thermostat. A simple one, have you checked your coolant level? What ratio of coolant to water are you running? Just a few things to try.
Hope it helps, let us know what you find.
