Well it's not inconceivable that a water pump shaft could break. Your belt could be loose and slipping. I'm just trying to think of reasons for your engine overheating. Is the radiator flowing through; no blockages? A water pump could also have a leaking gasket, but that's usually very evident with the coolant steaming on a hot engine. Not the greatest odor that's for sure. How hot does it go?
You could check the flow of oil through the oil galley by observing the oil flow with the top cover removed. The oil should be dripping from the camshaft journals and rocker arm journals. Make sure you don't get any dirt in the engine, and use a competent gasket when replacing the top cover. I prefer the cork Felpro.
Is this LUV being driven, or is it a work in progress? It sounds like it must be sitting. If you were running down the road the rat problem would be solved, would it not? I don't think the rats would want to stay atop your tranny, or wherever they're staying, unless it's in the seat. Are they nesting in the seat? Ha ha ha. I hope you don't get bit. Rats carry rabies. You won't very well go to work flippin' burgers while foaming at the mouth, will you? Then again, wolves carry rabies too. I'd say there's a seventy-five percent chance of you catching the dreaded disease, so you better go get yourself immunized. Hop in the LUV and go. If it's running.
I don't want to catch rabies.... twice.

Anyway, haha, I live in a remote portion of the desert where the land has been unhindered my man and the rodents run free. If I forget to roll a window up I will have a truck full of rodents in the morning.
And actually, since I replaced the hoses, the temperature has gotten really stable, and I have stopped adding water to the overflow tank, now.
It is a daily driver, too, but like I said, I once opened the hood after driving the day before and got to see a huge rodents run around the engine block like it was a racetrack. I wanted to blast it, but that would have been foolish, you know.
