Default Car still heating up.....HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, my stock radiator crapped out on me (94,000 miles). So, I went to a slavage yard to get another stock radiator untill I can buy a better one (40,000 miles on the one I bought). I put the radiator in hooked everything back up, flushed the system. Filled it back up with Dex 50/50. And it is still heating up WTF!!! Could the problem be a malfunctioning thermostat or possibly a blockage. Also I just replaced the water pump.
Any suggestions?

Did you purge the system? If so I would say the t-stat is stuck closed.

The primary fan should come on at around 200 or so and secondary fan about 10* after that...are both fans coming on?
