do you have a fan shroud? Are you running a clutch fan? if you are then it may be the fan.

I dunno man I'd check the fan like poorboy1 suggested, look for leaks around the shaft yada yada yada and the basics like you still got water in the rad. just had your problem on my truck, getin hot when off road, how ever I'm losing water some where causing the problem, there's no visible leaks, not burning it, not in the oil, not in the tranny but it's going some where and It would get hot the minute I got er off road and started pushing it a little, I am leaning towards my rad cap but I haven't replaced it yet but if your not missing any water then you could possibly rule this out depending on how well your over flow tank werks.
