Driving in winter is OK. Over heat in hot days, specially if I have to drive slow, the temp goes up until the car stall (happens one's). The fans are both working, I check them out many times. I flushed the Rad and change the thermostat. I am managing to control the engine temperature, turning the internal heater at max. As you see, I am cooking my self inside this oven with wheels. Thanks.

When the radiator was flushed, was it professionally done or done at home? It sounds like there is a lack of flow through the radiator because you can control the engine temp with the heater. I would have that rechecked. Also, have the engine block flushed.
