Traction Motor overheating

I recently installed a traction motor and in few months it's starting overheat (thermometer symbol lights up). I've replaced traction inverter, all the inverter cables, anybody have a clue as to what else could cause overheating? My
Boss said the differential could cause but I don't think so.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
