don't run it without a thermostat.
Check fluid quality and quantity, Bad or low antifreeze / coolant can cause issues.
Check the radiator cap, a bad cap can cause it to not hold the proper pressure and dump fluid.
Check the fan belt for proper fan action
Check that the radiator fins or screen isn't plugged front and back.
