Take a look at your radiator as well. If it has leaked once, try refilling the coolant/antifreeze. Take a look around if you see any coolant stains or leaks.

Already done the radiator and hoses, might as well do the thermostat, check the water pump to see if any water is leaking out the bottom. Also it has over heated before so it could be head gasket, warped head. I would go with the thermo and the pump first and maybe the temp sensor. Maybe even the radiator cap.

You have to check your water pump if its working properly, no noise and leaks. Have your auxilliary check if they are working fine. Poor water pump cannot circulate water properly back and forth causing overheating. Hope this helps!
