Not familiar with the peculiarities of the 3.8 as this is the LT1 forum you posted in. You also hijacked another LT1 thread with the same question. The V6 forum people should be better equipped to handle your question.

Was the coolant system bleed with the heater on, after the water pump/thermostat replacement?

You have air in the system, and you're low in coolant. The car needs to be bled initially with the heater on, then again with it off, for best results.
