I assume you also checked the electric fan.



Do you have driving performance problems like sluggish acceleration? If so, then a bad torque converter could be the cause.



Another problem could be a bad head gasket.



A plugged catalytic converter can also cause overheating, along with loss of power. But the cat will get really hot too, maybe even glow red at night.

Sounds to me like you have a blown head gasket. Have you checked the new antifreeze for oil in it? Could be your fan motor isn't working, check to see if its running when you say its boiling over. If its not running when that hot you have a bad fan motor.
