Sounds like there is air trapped in the system, have you bleed it properly after replacing everything?

Check belt tensioner,make sure belt is not slipping.
Sometimes "new" pumps don't last too long,specially after market ones..

In what way is it overheating? Pressure in the top hose is good, it just depends how much...
