over heating

Ok I have an 03 truck that over heats within 3mins. I removed the radiater and had it checked and flushed and still tyhe same ****. I took out the thermostat same ****. Everything seems like its working and all the plugs looked perfect and the scan tool shows no miss fires. Any of u GM tech guys ever have a car over heat with in 3mins of running?

If it did it without a thermostat I get a temp gun and check a spot on the head against what the guage says.. If you just removed the thermostat and re installed it I'd start there

I cant remember if they said it was boiling or not when they were tyin the things they did. I was wondering if any of u guys thought maybe it could be a head but the funny thing is there is no signs of anything on the spark plugs and there is no missfires. I mean could there be something wrong with the block or could the fan not be working right.
