When you say overheating are you loosing coolant or getting any trouble codes? If your inching pedal is out of adjustment it can cause high transmission temps that lead to overheating.

I have had plastic fan blades get worn and not move air well. Usually this is with lots of idling and i haven't seen this on any cat/mitsu yet but if your stumped it's worth looking at.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
