If it's getting hot at low speeds and stopped but not at higher speeds then check if your fans are coming on. More than likely that is your culprit.

The fans are working and I just put a new radiator cap on. THe green coolant you mention is that just normal antifreeze and if so should I dilute it at 50/50 also? I just ran the vehicle for 15 minutes and it got up to the last notch before going into the red. The upper hose has what seems to me to be too much pressure. I have started bleeding it again, still a good bit of air between spurts of coolant.
