I had a fun night last night. me and 2 of my buddies were gonna head down to Foolinaround's garage meet... but when the thermostat in the gauge cluster breaks 230-240, and ur truck only has a 190º thermostat, thats a decent hint that maybe this trip wasnt the best idea. We call these blazer moments. I didnt even make it to the bb caravan. I just pulled into play it again sports on rt73... my cooling system was bone dry. we put in like 3/4 of a gallon of 50/50 and it filled, then let out a huge burp. then we put like 2 more gallons of water in. soft peddled it the mile and a half home, then we just chilled at my place. we filled the radiator and overfill up again, then it ran at like how it should aka not overheating.
we think theres a slow leak somewhere, then the heat just evaporated the rest. i checked this morning, and my blazer still has coolant in the overflow tank. but it was empty so it has to go somewhere. leaking anything sucks from a motor, but this can almost be expected from a high mileage engine. itll be fine for making the trip home today, but its gonna be fixed before this nights done. shes gonna be a happy blazer when this is done. |

But yea, def a big issue, don't risk overheating it. Replace your tstat and maybe rad cap just cause its cheap, then re-fil. If you need help let me know I just had some cooling issues with my car. Took awhile to see the leak, but it ended up being an air pocket that caused steam to crack my side tank on the rad. |

like i said before...(or meant to say before lol) it has to be going somewhere. and its not under the truck. i havent noticed any smoke from the exhaust lately, but its not like someone broke into my truck, popped my hood, then syphoned out all my coolant, then locked up my truck like it never happened. either way, were checking the radiator cap, pouring some sealant into my radiator(it has 171k miles... mostly highway), completley flushing the system, and giving it new coolant, then changing the oil.
It's keeping a steady temp and coolant level so far, but this is only a temporary fix. i know it, and the blazer knows it. |
calling a/p departments is no fun
