When this problem happens I would always replace the stat first.Make sure you bleed all the air out of the cooling system by allowing the car to run at idle for about 30 minutes with the rad cap off.

either the thermostat or the fan is no good. You would need to locate the thermostat and see if its stuck open or closed!

The engine produces heat no matter the weather. The cooling system must have a problem such as a bad thermostat, bad fan clutch, plugged radiator, missing radiator shroud or low on coolant because of a leak somewhere.

What could be causing a car to overheat when driving but not while sitting idle The radiator cap and thermostat have all been replaced and you have no known system leaks But you still have a problem?
Clogged radiator, bad water pump, defective fan or fan thermal relay.
How do you change the thermostat on a 2004 avalanche?
Find and disconnect the upper radiator hose. This will be a hose going from the top of the radiator to the top of the engine block somewhere. The upper radiator hose attaches to the thermostat housing, which is usually secured by 2 or 4 bolts. The thermostat is inside and you will probably need a pick to get it out. Having said that, your thermostat probably isn't the problem if you are overheating. GM motors have really bad intake gasket design, which can cause your car to leak coolant, which will in turn cause it to overheat.
What makes an engine overheat instantly even though thermostat is removed?
Make Sure That Your Fan Is Running For Cooling The Radiator. Put A New Thermostat Back In. It Will Run Hot Without One. The Water Will Not Stay In The Radiator Long Enough To Cool. If This Doesn`t Help, Have a Good Radiator Shop Look At It For You. Also You May Want To Resumit A Question as To What Happened If This Did Not Cure The Problem. Thank You

Check your cooling fans in front of the radiator. It could be a relay or fuse to your high speed fan motor. Also, check your coolant temp sensor, antifreeze level, and or thermostat again.
