yes i add stop leak to the coolant in the summer time but it never over heated until now, yes the radiator fan is working, thermostat is new, the heater is working

Stop leak can clog the radiator heater core etc.Are both the upper and lower radiator hoses getting really hot?Also what actual temp is the fan coming on at?

If both hoses arent getting hot then the coolant isnt circulating.Are you sure the thermostat is good?Also how hot was the coolant temp when you check the hoses?
