You may try a system flush after checking the thermostat.  I bought my ''00 in ''05 and immediately had to do a system flush because the temperature spiked repetitively. Hope it helps.

Park with the front end up, and elevate the passengers side. Easiest is uphill, and then pop the passenger''s front tire up on the curb. Run the engine and it will circulate the air to the front. Vent, and refill. _____________________________ 2000 Blazer 4d LS 4x4 - 265/70/15 General Grabber AT2s - Hunter Brush Guard - Surco Roof Rack with IPF 868s - 1.5'' Shackle + Tbar - 2'' BL (in reply to Flea323) Post #: 4
