check your fuses as well for the fan. Make sure your hoses to your radiator good not collapsing. Also I read on here it's best to get a thermostat from the Chevy dealership. The ones at the auto place are not good

I use Stant GOLD Thermostats.
Do not put a cheapo crap one in it.

I just did my whole system over.
Everything but the radiator.

My gauge reads dead center on hot days maybe a little towards 1 o'clock.
Normal temps it hovers around 11.

I put in a 180 degree thermostat.
