It sounds like you have the same trouble we have on vanagons.  Search for bleeding the cooling systems on vanagons, and make sure that your input and output are right on the rad.  One thing we do is park it on an angle with the radiator really low, and then bleed from the top of the radiator. run it to circulate and make sure you have a full reserve tank of coolant before you start.   top it up a lot.
