    08 Equinox - overheating issue (no leaks)

    My 2008 Nox has 120k+ on it and runs like a new one. I flush antifreeze every 4-5 yrs. I believe this helps with the head gasket problem. Am thinking of getting a Blazer with the 3.6 but have been reading about problems with them. I guess every car has its quirks!
