Since this vehicle has a thermal clutch fan I'd start there
are ALL the hoses getting hot?
- upper rad hose
- lower rad hose
- heater hoses
does the overheating reduce when you turn on the heat at full speedif both the upper and lower hoses are HOT then you are dealing with a flow issue
could be the water pump
- a restriction in the system
- thermostat stuck closed
again I must ask...
- are all the hoses hot?
- will the temperature DROP if you turn on the heat at HIGH!!!?
However, if you just want to start replacing stuff, here is the list from easy/hard
- thermostat
- radiator
- water pump
Cheerssounds like you are destined to replace the water pump, so as Nike says........."Just do it"
If this doesn't FixYa then re-post and we will talk about the other possible issues

A cooling system consists of a water pump, cooling fan, thermostat, radiator hose, hose clamps, radiator, radiator cap and coolant. Engine coolant is used to transfer heat from the engine to the radiator by the cooling system. The radiator removes heat from the coolant by forcing air through the radiator cooling fins. Without coolant your engine will overheat and if left unattended severe engine damage will occur. Coolant leaks are a common problem to an overheating engine. So once again, make SURE that you are not leaking coolant. If you have to, monitor it with a towel or cloth of some sort. My knowledge here isn't too well, but if you are losing pressure, that could be a problem as well. So maybe put a pressure gage on it, and monitor how much pressure you are gaing or losing. So triple check that you are not leaking coolant. Also keep in mind that the leak could be internal. Causing even more problems that should be fixed ASAP
First i would start with the little things. First check to make sure the heat sensor isn't bad. Your car could be just telling you that it is over heating, but it could be a miscommunication betweent the computer and the sensor. Also check you antifreeze/coolant level, and make sure it is good. It may need to be flushed. Other than that, witht the info you provided, you car should be in good working condition.
