It's time to replace the thermostat. The obvious would be lack of coolant----but assuming you have checked that the possibility exists that you have a blown head gasket ---I know that you have a Chevy full size van (G 20) but know nothing about the year or mileage --that being said when the belt broke you may of severly overheated the engine---not good for any vehicle but very bad for old high milage motors
