Has 2000 Chevrolet suburban coolant leaked into engine and over heated?

It's probably a warped head & head gasket, or possibly a cracked head or block. But you probably have the sequence wrong. In most cases the engine overheated THEN cracked and you got coolant into the engine. That indeed is a possibility but burbs are notorious for having a leaking intake manifold gasket that would be the place to start you'll get there before you get the heads off anyway.

Why is your 2001 suburban running hot?
2001 Chevy suburban runs hot because the engine is heated up. There is heavy load coming upon the engine so it gets heated up.
Why need auto radiator reservoir?
Engine coolant expands when heated. Heated coolant needs a reservoir to come and go as needed.
Where is coolant running in the front of the engine?
In cars and trucks the radiator is up front to get air before it can get heated by the engine.
Does the thermostat control the heat in your car?
No, the thermostat controls the temperature of the engine coolant. As long as the coolant temperature is below the thermostat set-point, the thermostat remains closed. Once the temperature arrives at the set-point, the thermostat starts to open, sending heated coolant through the radiator. The radiator then cools the heated engine coolant and the water pump forces the coolant back through the engine. The heater control valve allows more or less of the engine coolant through the heater core. Since the coolant should be very near the set-point temperature of the thermostat, you should be getting hot water through the heater core to warm the inside of the vehicle. The engine coolant is there to keep the engine from melting down or from breaking metal parts and burnng off the oil. It just happens that the heated coolant is useful to warm the inside of the vehicle.
What does the cooling system do within an engine?
It cycles coolant through the engine. Heat from the engine is transferred to the coolant through a heat exchange. The heated coolant then cycles through the system to the radiator, where heat from the coolant undergoes another heat exchange, transferring heat from the coolant to the air which passes through the radiator. Heat will also transfer from the motor to the air forced over the motor by the engine fan.

How can you detect a bad coolant temperature sensor?
um when your engine blows smoke out the bonet cos its over heated.
What is the heater core coolant flow direction on a 1996 S10?
The heated coolant comes out of the engine from the connection in the intake manifold and returns thru the connection into the water pump.
Does water in the reservoir circulate through radiator when engine runs?
No. When the engine is running coolant is heated and expands. Excess coolant then flows from the radiator to the expansion (overflow) tank. When the engine is shut down coolant cools and contracts drawing fluid back out of the tank to keep the radiator topped off.
How does a pressure coolant tant work?
It collects the expanding coolant that is heated by the engine and recycles it back into the coolant system once it loses enough heat. The radiator overflow tank works in conjunction with the radiator cap to protect the engine and prevent coolant loss due to overflow. Source: Quora.com
All the water came flushing out and it wont start?
The engine has lost its coolant If it oer heated at the same time or it had a serious internal failure to cause the coolant loss it is ruined.
When the car stops what causes the heater to go cold?
The heat for the interior of your car comes from the heated radiator coolant. When you are driving down the road the water pump circulates the heated engine coolant. If the engine slows and the water pump isn't real efficient you might get cooling in the heater. When you turn off the engine you aren't getting warm water pumped into the heater.
