so what other tests can be done compression test  ?

The first thing I'd do is see if the sender wire is connected for the temp gauge.

Compression test will only show failures in fire rings - almost unheard of on V6, so won't achieve a lot - especially if it's already running on all 6...

And, assuming its the 2.6.....it has a metal multilayer headgasket arrangement so its even less likely to suffer fire ring failure.

As said, get the temp gauge sorted (probably not connected after the oil cooler change) and go from there.

it is the 2.6

Back of the engine on the coolant bridge.....you can just get at it with the scuttle cover removed
