Heater problem
2002 Chevy Venture 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive 138000 miles

I don't believe it's the heater core. Engine temp fluctuates as if thermostat is failing.

Shouldn't be that much...no MORE than an hour to replace a thermostat....the thermostat is going to cost you about 22 bucks from GMC and an hour time is around 120 bucks....150-200 TOPS...Alas....I feel however you are going to run into the failing head gasket problem based on your brief description...dancing temperature needle is CLASSIC symptom of it....
