When did this problem start.? Sound like a partly plugged radiiator to me. Or t stat isn't opening all the way. Eazy driving only needs so much cooling. Pushing that lifted sami at speed is a different story!    p.s. Hows your coolant level?

Do yourself a favor & replace the t stat at the same time.
