econoline overheating
We have a 99 econoline with a 4.2L engine that overheats when the ambient air temp is over 80 to 90 degrees. I have changed the thermostat, water pump both temp sensors, and cleaned and combed the condensor and radiator. We have not had the radiator flow tested, but it looks open from what we can see through the upper radiator hose neck.

It's your radiator. Check out the thread on the first page about "4.2 overheating".
