The only thing i could see from when my motor crapped out on me is the air duct box that is infront of the engine has 2 hoses that connect to the valve covers and the hose on the passenger side had the connection for the hose melted and that hose wasn’t connected. Maybe thats why everything was out of wack and i just never saw it. Im not sure if that was the root cause or if that happened when my motor blew but its worth a look just to see if thats the issue

Hello I have a Chevy Silverado 2017 4.3 v6 I have been dealing with the same problem I have changed everything that has to do with the cooling system. I change the radiator thermostat thermostat sensor, water pump, coolant.and it’s still doing it did you ever figure out what was wrong with it ? I believe it’s the fans my fans are running very low maybe it can be the fan relays but I can’t figure out where they are located I know where the fuses are just not the relay

I believe the fan relays are the 2 square relays on the left corner of the box. Check tjose it might be your fans not working right.

I figure it out i guess you can’t use aftermarket market parts it was my thermostat that I had brought autozone they look the same but it’s not I went to the Chevrolet dealer and got the oem and my truck is running perfectly fine now

I'm having exactly the same problem with my 2017 Silverado 5.3. 102,000 miles on it also. Amongst multiple other problems I've had. Broken seat belt on driver side. Chevy claims not their problem. I feel it's a safety issue. And now after hearing about it blown engine I'm afraid to drive it. But I have to it's my only vehicle.
