Default High Temp Gage on 2001 Explorer

I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac that's running hot. The needle
on the temp gage runs to the top in a manner of minutes while
driving. I just had the coolant changed, but it didnt help. Any
ideas on what's wrong? Is it the water pump, or the sensor, or maybe
the transmission? Should I go to the dealer for service or an
independent shop for repairs? Thank you. -HJI

Maybe a sticking thermostat...and it's easy enough to replace in 15 minutes
or less.
