Did you use O.E.M. or parts house?
You should be able to check the clutch... something like the fan will freely spin when the engine bay is cold and become stiffer once the engine bay is hot. I had issues with the engine getting hot for three years and it continued with 2 different aftermarket fan clutches and the FF dynamic electric fan setup. Earlier this year, I replaced the fan clutch with a junkyard Rodeo fan clutch and the engine hasn't moved a tick past 2/3rds on the gauge since.

It's worth looking into and definitely replace it with an OEM unit rather than a aftermarket unit.
