its not for a cobalt is for my 2000 blazer i was wondering if anyone could help
today i was driveing and my heat went from normal to smelling like coolant. the temp hasint moved theres no leaking in the motor so im not sure what happen. when i first bought the truck there was no heat to i took it to chevy and they said my heater core was pluged and the radiator. so they flushed it all and its been great. last week i started hearing sounds like water running in the dash and i wasint sure what that was.

Why does everyone think shops try to get out of doing repair work? You realize that a large percentage of techs only get paid when they actually turn wrnches right? why on earth would so many techs turn down jobs?
The reason you hear water moving is because there is air in the cooling system.
If you need to get the heater core replaced, expect to foot the bill for 9 hours labor, and probably $100-160 in parts
