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'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.

They're mechanics, they will figure it out. I'd say it's time to throw in the towel. 

Yeah, but at what cost? $1,000 for them to replace everything and it still does it? My 17 5.3 Silverado is doing the exact same thing.

      72 C10 headers question

      By mighty K20 · Posted

      FYI, I used sq body headers on my 72 and they were a perfect fit with zero clearance issues with the rods and Z bar for the clutch  I agree with post on worn mount rubber

      I do most of my yard work before 10. My summer walks are usually at Kroger’s. Inside and yes I’ll do light shopping. Usually by noon you don’t want to be outside from June to September. The mail box is a good walk. I’ll walk there about 3 times before the mail comes. My house has two floors if I feel I need to move I’ll do the stairs. I’ll walk down the lane to our rent house with clippers trimming branches along the driveway. There’s always something to do.

      There is a sign at my chiropractors office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Sound advice.    On a 65 degree day (F) I can still work pretty darn hard (I'm 72). On a 85 degree day with a good deal of humidity it takes me three days to do what in took at 65 degree in three hours. If I work to muscle exhaustion (back) it will take me days more to recover. Taking breaks to prevent that is most useful. A lift belt has been very useful in preventing both.    Minister was giving a talk the other night where he was speaking of age and he used a clock to illustrate the human lifespan and it's ability to task. 1 to 45 was the second hand, scurry about. 46 to 70 the minute hand. Slower but...71 and up the hour hand...Hummm....until that talk I felt more like the minute hand. 😭   Then he says, the most useful hand on the clock is the hour hand. Without it you can't tell time. (Hour of the watch). I felt a bit better knowing we over 70 are useful. 🥹

      I still do oil changes on our 2 vehicles and my motorcycle. I have a robot mower for the yard but can't use it in my backyard because my wonderful dog keeps digging the guide wire up so I have to push mow it. Not much of a walker especially during the summer, just to hot. I will ride my e-bike almost daily which helps to keep my knees and hips loose and helps with my balance. That's my story an I'll stick with it. We have been in the mid to high 90's with a feel like temp of 105 to 109 for the last month with no rain. We finally got some rain which cooled it off but were still stuck with the humdity. I do pace myself and that's why it takes me 2 days to do something that used to take a couple of hours.   Peace

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      @newdude great info, thank you!   So opening the thermal bypass valve early (or all the time) would cause temperature to rise more slowly, but above 194F there would be no difference from normal operation?   It seems like the only practical ways to bring down the peak temperature would be to improve the oil-air heat exchanger in some way or increase fluid capacity?
