My 2005 chevy silverado 5.3 liter is overheating. It runs at about 250 from 0-45. Once i get past 45 and get some airflow it cools right down. i though my thermostat was stuck but shouldnt it stay hot at all times if that was it? other than that the electric fans are working fine. Also my heater would go from hot to cool. Could it be anything other than my thermostat?

Yes, you probably have air in the system. Park uphill and run the engine with the heater on to get air out. Refill radiator. If air comes back or continues to bubble up in radiator, you may have a leaky head gasket.

SOURCE: my 2005 chevy silverado 5.3 liter is overheating.

this sounds like low coolant level,or air in the system, you said the fans work they should cool it down just like the air flowing through it, this tells me the coolant flow is not good until higher rpms,try reving the motor and see if it cools down without movig if it does then its a flow problem maybe tstat not opening all the way or borken, the waterpump empeller rotted,or low coolant,i would also flush the system out if its not clean, ive seen a few of these that use dexcool coolant get pretty nasty from lack of coolant flushes, start by checking the level then a t- stat, hope this helps.
