What temps were you seeing and under what conditions? highway? in traffic?

What temps were you seeing and under what conditions? highway? in traffic? all street driving , car would overheat, or over flow tank would bubble up.gage would go to red zone,... thanks

Check the tension on the water pump belt. Sometimes the tensioner sticks and fails to maintain pressure keeping the belt tight.
Another possibility is a failed head gasket. Unfortunately, this is often seen, and for no apparent reason other than a design flaw, on the Northstar engines. There are test strips to check the coolant for combustion gas traces. You could also do a compression test to see which cylinder(s) if any fail to hold compression.
