I jumped the gun on parts, do the simple stuff first and get rid of all the Dexcool like the previous posters have stated.

I have friend that has 2002 blazer with 130k that has been running hot, 240, 260, not pegged. He took it to a dealer and they said it was a bad head gasket.
He has owned it since new, dealer maintained. I'm thinking bad t-stat or clogged radiator, never known the 4.3 too be a gasket blower with out a cause.
Oh yeah, they want $2700 to fix it.
I say B.S.

I would replace the intake gasket, water pump, flush the radiator and see what it does. If its blowing water out of the intake(common problem), AND the pump, there's not enough pressure to force the water through the block. If I can be of any help, just let me know, thanks....
