2002 Chevy Blazer Engine Size unknown Four Wheel Drive Manual 210000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I was driving when the Check Gages light came on and noticed it was starting to overheat. I got to the nearest gas station to refill the coolant. I didn't turn the vehicle off so it wouldn't cool down too quickly and cause the block heater to crack. When I went to open the hood I noticed a huge leak coming from underneath, looked under and a hose was sticking out from under pouring out liquid. All truck gauges stopped working, lights turned off and the truck stalled. What kind of repairs are going to be needed here?

In the future if this happens, shut the truck off immediatly! If you sevrely overheat it by letting it run, this is when the severe damage occurs! You now have to replace the split hose, fill and pressure test the system...keep you fingers crossed!
