I would check the grounds. Considering the corrosion that these vehicles can incur, you may consider running extra grounds, especially when you have high power requirements. If you run the big three and that makes an improvement, that would give you your answer, to the cause. There is a tool...

Make sure that they guarantee their work. I had this done multiple times incorrectly. You can't just follow the FSM. I have a friend that has his own automotive business and he sent this to a shop that specializes in this, and this leaked 3 times. Axle seal was done 1st time, still leaked...

Make sure to get all the air out of the coolant system.

If it gets hot in stop and go or slow moving traffic, fan could be the issue, if it does not get hot when moving steady like on the highway or 35+ mph. I had a harmonic balancer go bad that caused me to have these symptoms. The crank pulley was not turning the accessories, it happened on a 2jz...
