02 stratus getting hot

A friend of mine has an 02 status that is running hot. They changed the water pump and it has a new radiator. What else could be making it run hot? And can the thermostat make it overheat?

Yes.... The radiator cap can also be a source by not letting the overflow syphen back into the radiator as the engine cools.
Collapsing hoses can also be a problem.
