Maybe the fan clutch is malfunctioning and staying engaged all the time. You may want to backflush the heater core too. Common problem.

Have you tried to bleed the heater hoses,just take the one at the water pump off untill it comes out fast and re-insall. Hope this works. JD.

I had this happen a few years ago. The new thermostat was defective. The 2nd one worked. The defect rate for new parts is higher, now that outsourcing has sent them to Asia.
