Basically: when they are faulty.

The original Thermostat on your Trail Blazer should last longer than the warranty, so 60,000 miles or more.

Then the fun starts.

  • There are poor quality cheap Thermostats out there that tend to not last long
  • If the cooling system is not maintained well and the car runs hot due to problems other than the thermostat the thermostat will fail immediately.
  • If the wrong temperature rating is used the part will fail or not operate correctly
  • A cooling fan that is broken or not running correctly.
ADVICE:Use a GM/DELCO brand part purchased from the dealer and watch for a hot running engine that will damage the thermostat.
