What does the thermostat on a car do?

The thermostat in a car regulates the coolant temperature inside the engine. When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed, allowing the heat from the combustion chamber to heat the fluid (coolant) in the coolant galleys in the engine block. Once the engine reaches an optimal temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to flow through the radiator. The thermostat then controls the flow of coolant to hold the engine at its optimum operating temperature, irrespective of engine load and operating condtions.

Why would someone do away with thermostat on 2001 blazer?

If you live in a warm climate you don't need a thermostat as much as if you live in a temperate zone. The function of the thermostat is to let the engine heat up to a certain temperature before allowing the coolant to flow through the engine. If you don't need heat or if the thermostat is bad, sometimes it's easier to just take it out and let the engine run cool than to bother having it heat up.
