Default 2001 Dakota 5.9 liter get very hot

I just bought a 2001 Dakota 5.9 liter V8. Everytime i drive the engine gets extremely hot. The gauge does not show the engine getting hot at all. all fluids have been flushed and changed. Any suggestions?

How are you determining it is getting too hot then?

The OP posted on 9/21. It's now 10/3 and there's no response. Plus it was their first post. I'm not a huge poster on this forum, but if I ask a question I'll make sure I at least acknowledge any response, especially when I raise an issue.
