How do you check a 89 Chevy s-10 thermostat?
When in doubt, throw it out. If there is any doubt the thermostat may be bad, just replace it with a new one. If you insist on testing it, you can drop it into a small pot of water and heat it up on the stove. A 195 degree thermostat should open just before the water boils.

Remove the thermostat from vehicle. Heat up a pot of water on the stove, insert thermometer in the water along with the thermostat, be sure to fill pot of water to cover thermostat. When temp reaches operating level (180 / 195 ) should be able to visually see thermost open. Get tongs and pull thermostat out of water. When it cools down you should see it close.
