Stuck thermostat?

Stuck thermostat?
Hi there.
I have a 97 chevy blazer. Starting Friday I noticed all of a sudden my temp gauge spiked up to about 210/220 and would not go down. I went on the freeway for something and it even went up to like 260 and that I don't like.
well I let it sit for the weekend when I went on vacation and this morning while coming to work it spiked way high again. Wouldn't come down. Not sure if that has anything to do with the thermostat.

Pull the thermostat and put it in a pot of boiling water. If it opens then it is good. if it is stuck or not opening all the way it is bad. Best bet would be to just replace it if you are going to go as far as taking it out. Also make sure you refill the coolant with the right kind. If it has Dexcool refill it with Dexcool.

I think my ACDelco one was like $14 from Amazon. Not really that much.

Rock Auto should have it for about the same price IIRC.
