The thermostat might be installed backwards. The thermostat will still work, but not as efficiently as if it were installed properly. It sounds like engine is still not receiving proper water flow. This is a common mistake.

You replaced the thermostat in your 2001 Chevy venture but the van is still overheating the top radiator hose is hard and hot to the touch like the thermostat is not opening up please advise?
The top radiator hose is above the thermostat. If the top radiator hose is hot, the thermostat is opening. The thermostat is not the problem. Perhaps the radiator is clogged up or the water pump is bad. Look elsewhere.

Check to make sure you have the correct mixture of anti-freeze and water because anti-freeze also helps with overheating too. If you still have a problem check your thermostat. It could be stuck closed and may not be opening.
