Yeah with the heat on from the start I can control it but once it hits the H it's over.

The over flow levels seem fine

Try flushing the rad/cooling system out first, try to get out as much of the gummy stuff as you can, or just replace it... stock radiators are not too expensive... or get a bigger one... wouldnt hurt.

give her some fresh coolant and you should be good to go
