Replacing heat sensor right now and found no water anywhere in
oil....but I think my son got wrong weight for oil from Jiffy Lube.
i am going to see what changes if anything with new sensor before I
remove Thermostat. if it continues to heat up I will take to my
cousin at Pep Boys and have them test everything. I can only work on
sporadically due to service calls and panel builds. Evenings are
spent feeding and spending time with RJ in hospital. He is gaining
weight slowly and hope to have him out this week. thanks for all the
tips...soon I can start my own talk show on NPR....El Guy Mechanico Chafa

I’ve seen where cheap water pumps cavitate at slow speeds like
idle. I’ve also seen new water pumps that didn’t turn the inside
impellor and just spin on the outer pulley because the inside
impellor broke off. It’s also possible your new thermostat is
simply sticking and isn’t opening up enough. Want to test that,
pull it out and see if the problem goes away.
If you aren’t losing anti-freeze, the you probably don’t have a
bad head gasket. You could easily check that by pulling the plugs
and look at them or get one of the $30 boroscopes that work with
your phone and look in the cylinders. My guess is either
thermostat is wonky or you have a blocked passage in the block.
If that’s the case, throw a hail Mary and run some Prestone
cleaner through there and see what comes out.

One additional thought.. I've had at least one rig where a
bad/incorrect radiator cap would cause overheating as the radiator
cap in many systems doubles as the pressure regulator for the
system, and apparently system pressure matters for some engines.
Not sure if this applies in your case.

If you don’t have exhaust gasses in the radiator, it is probably
not a head gasket. If you do, then follow up with a compression
test.
If both tests fail, it is probably a gasket. Sounds to me more
like a recalcitrant thermostat.

Be easier to replace a head gasket than pull the whole motor IMO

That exhaust gasses in the radiator test Forrest mentioned is a
sure indicator. Better than a compression test.

Yep... going have compression test done...we have another 4.3 in a
wrecked Blazer we could swap with 111005 miles on it. Might just
do that and donate Blazer to Car Talk

I wouldn't run without a t-stat. On a lot of cars you need the
restriction to give the radiator time to do its job. Sounds to me
like if it was smoking (from exhaust?) when heating, you might
have a cracked head gasket. It looks like you've replaced
everything else.

One thing to check is if you're getting exhaust gases in the
radiator. There are kits to test this.

My wife bought a 2001 4x4 Chevy S10 Vortec 4.3 from sons wife. We
knew it heated up a little...I replaced water pump, fan clutch,
thermostat, had system flushed including heater core along with
radiator. It doesn't heat up us as much...you can run it on
freeway with temp at 210 degrees...once you exit and stop, it gets
hot for a bit then cools off again. No detectable leaks, no water
in oil...wonder if sensor if faulty...any ideas or tips...we want
4x4 for winter hiking season. Thanks
