Default 97 running hot

I've got a 97 5.2 V8 and I've replaced the water pump, thermostat, temp sensor, radiator. It will run fine for about two hours and start overheating......and also what are normal operating temps for a 5.2/318

Bumper to bumper traffic with air on and 100 degrees outside the hottest my 5.2 has run is around 210. Usually its stays around 180. How about the fan clutch, did you replace it?
