The temp sensor is at the rear of the head... sounds like it may not have coolant around it when you're going downhill. How is the coolant level? Only thing that comes to mind right off... or maybe the pump isn't working so great, and doesn't keep the coolant circulating when the rear of the engine is higher than the front?
