ok this means your head gasket is ok
if you have one hose that is cool and the other hot after letting it warm up, it is very possible you have a restriction somewhere in the cooling system.
i say drain the coolant and fill with water , leave radiator cap open and see if water is moving in the radiator.
FWIW i had a Honda that had a new water pump, new t-stat, and was still running hot, turns out the radiator was blocked even though water would flow freely from the top hose to the bottom hose and a new radiator fixed the overheat problem

IF I TYPE IN CAPPS LOCK YOU WILL HEAR ME BETTER OK SO I'LL DO THAT TOO SO YOU CAN HEAR BETTER ON THE INTERNET. YOUR T-STAD IS TOTALL STAD DUDE.
YOU PROBABLY NEED A WATER PUMP OR A RADIATOR OR A THERMOSTAT BUT YOU DIDNT POST HOW MANY MILES THE CAR HAS SO I DONT KNOW WHICH ONE IT COULD BE MAYBE YOU SHOULD TELL ME THAT AND I CAN HELP MORE.
AND YOU ACTUALLY CHANGED A BUNCH OF PARTS BEFORE YOU EVEN GOT THE ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED? THAT WAS DUMB. GET THE LIGHT CHECKED.

He just needs one of these!
Radiator Insulator
The weakest part of your car is the likely the radiator. It is a simple matter of physics when we tell you this: Energy is lost through heat. Transmissions, as they lose more and more heat, begin to cause more loss of power. However, that's only a small part - The worst part is the radiator! All sorts of heat is lost through the radiator - in essence - losing the horsepower through heat! Not anymore!! KaleCoAuto brings you the Radiator Insulatior - Simply slip over your radiator and enjoy the power! KaleCoAuto radiator insulation is made from only the finest asbestos, and is guaranteed to trap 90% more heat!
