The last trip I took, I set the cruise at 70 and it still overheated about 4.5 hours into the trip.
I have 110K miles on it. Over the past year, the following has been done:
New thermostat
New starter
New front axels (needed CV boots, but it wasn't much more $ to replace the whole axels).
Any ideas on what might be causing the car to overheat after an extended period of time on the road. It has never overheated on trips shorter than 3 hours.

Check to see that your cooling fans are operating. Flush your system, you could have a clog or air in there.
