Has the water pump being changed lately, because it could be the wrong one and flowing the water too fast and not letting it cool long enough in the radiator..???

double check things like thermistat, radiator cap, make sure the coolant has the correct level of concentration, make sure the radiator isnt blocked, and of course pressure test the system for leaks

There are no common radiator problems with KF's. Perhaps get yours flushed, use GOOD coolant (ie tectaloy 90) and as above check your water pump.
