Hi there:
On a 2004 Silverado 6.6L Diesel there is a heater hose bypass valve that opens when the heater is activated. Sometimes this component can become stuck due to corrosion inside the coolant lines or a sensor that has either become unplugged or has an electrical short. If the bypass is not working correctly, it could be the source of your overheating and heater issue. However, there are a few other problems including air bubbles in the cooling lines or other mechanical part defects that should be inspected by a professional mechanic for overheating issues.
