ok heres teh deal, my dad n some of my friends say it could be the thermostat that is messed up...not sure if my dad changed it tho....the car stays at low temps 4 like 5 minutes then after that it starts going up quickly....so wats up wit it...also wen i turned it on 2day there was some smoke coming from the engine bay from underneath...not sure wat that was!!!

Nomad76lj

the thermostat is easy and cheap to fix. as for the smoke i dont know about. folow the top rad hose to the motor, the part that the hose is concted to is where your thermosat is under that peice.

the smoke was from the antifreeze that got on the engine, it wasnt the thermostat...its the water pump...so we're already fixing, juss gotta put it in n put the belt back on....god I need my car, i cant drive my dad's blazer nemore...dam gas hog!!! Ialready spent almost 80 bucks in the past week for gas on that thing lol.

i got another question, wat exactly are underdrive pulleys? r those the pulleys that are attached to the belt?

Nomad76lj

undredrive pullys are for your waterpump alt. powerstering and anything run from the motor they are after market pullys to replace the stock ones. they help the engine get a bit more power by spining the accereys faster.
