Engine Cooling problem
1996 Chevy Blazer V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

have had the raditor flushed and changed the thermostat. The blower on the heater wont work and the water in the overflow is cold and never heats up. Does this mean bad water pump

Test the water pump squeeze the upper radiator hose when the engine is hot and idling. Careful, because the hose will be HOT! If you do not feel much coolant circulating through the hose when you rev the engine, the pump may be bad.
