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.
