maybe the water pump is bad..
also just because u have a new stat does not mean it cant be faulty I have seen this happen.
good luck.. I would run a garden hose through the block and hoses make sure everything is clean, take the stat back and tell them it don't open and u want to warranty it for a new one (what brand did u buy)
make sure to remove the belt and check to make sure the pump is spinning, another things may be to look at the price of a pump and replace it if its not to pricey.

WP's aren't very expensive. Just get a good one if needed. I replaced it on my 5.2L and it's probably the same pump. If needed, replace the serpentine belt at the same time. Cheap insurance IMO.
