I think you just answered your own question. Get a new radiator, it might be a good idea to upgrade to a good aftermarket one, being that you're in Central Florida.

Re: (dc231)

so it would just be the radiator? not the fact that its running too hot and pusing air out?

He's right, give it a compression check, but also if there are any leaks from the radiator then they need to be fixed.
