Alright, about two weeks ago, my car began overheating. Checked coolant levels, they were good, no leaks.

Changed the thermostat, flushed the system and burped it, and replaced the radiator cap. After doing this, the car won't overheat at idle, but gets hot while driving at speed. Cooling fan is functioning properly. There is no coolant in the oil, and no bubbling in the radiator when idling with rad cap off. Heater still blows hot, but doesn't seem to blow as hard as before. Water pump isn't leaking, but does that sound like the issue?

Take the radiator out and get it core cleaned, a back flush may not do the job, you may have blocked cores still giving some circulation but not enough when the engine is loaded up.
