1997 Trooper ran hot, had rad renewed, replaced stat, still ran hot, when stopped with engine running-almost constant bubbles from rad overflow hose that goes into recovery tank. Even when engine stopped when still hot. I would think blown head gasket. Anyone agree/disagree? Thanks Gerald(nubie)

I'm afraid i have to agree, It's a classic gasket symptom.... Someone else will comment tomorrow you can bet,, Lets hope they can think of another reason that could be the cause... By the way welcome to ITOCUK Smile

If you gently rev the engine - does the bubbling get worse? If so more than likley a head or gasket. If you know someone with a pressure testing kit for the cylineders it would be very quick to test.
