1984 Chevrolet C10 Engine Q&A

  • Why does my C10’s check engine light come on when I start it? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Chevrolet engine sound different? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Chevrolet C10 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage a Chevrolet engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Chevrolet C10 engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I add water to my Chevrolet C10 radiator? An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your C10 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
  • What can cause a C10 engine to suddenly stop? Your C10 car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
