Is the temperature of the upper hose hot, when it indicates overheat, if not you could have a thermostat stuck closed. At any rate, as I tell everyone with Northstar overheat issues, have the cooling system tested for the presence of combustion gases. There is a probability of an internal leak causing overheat.
