Ken:
Coolant will indeed raise the boiling point, but if it is running hot I doubt it
would be enough on it's own to change your situation. I don't recall seeing
your original post or what you've already done to rectify the situation so if
I'm being redundant here, I apologize.
Have you checked your cap for correct pressure? This is a common problem that I
see frequently- a cap that no longer holds the correct pressure will allow the
coolant temperature to soar.
Just an idea.
