Replace the thermostat. I have had bad luck with aftermarket thermostats on this particular year of GM/ Chevy trucks.They tend to stick closed and then fully open, thus causing the temp to sort of surge hot and cold. A good thermostat will slowly open maintaning a good consistant temp. I would recommend spending a little more and getting a GM thermostat.
Please take a moment and rate my answer..........Thanks
Will try to help.have you replaced the thermostat? have you checked visually to make sure your cooling fan for engine is coming on?after the engine reaches operating temperature,the fan in front of radiator will come on,it's heat activated. the fan relay in black box under the hood may be bad,or the fuse in that box may be bad,or the fan motor may be bad.take the radiator cap off,when engine cool,start motor,do you see coolant flowing,after the engine reaches operating temperature?you may have a clogged radiator,simple fix. just flush the radiator with a flush,you can purchase at any parts place.hope this helps,and as always, thank you,for choosing fixya.com
