sounds like no water flow. either the radiator is plugged up, motor water jackets plugged up, or pump dont work very good. since you have a new pump, i think i would drain and flush real good and watch the flow out the drain. i put a garden hose TEE into the heater line so i can turn the hose on 20 GPM and let it shoot out the radiator tank cap or drain and see what is actually happening.
