Questions About 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500 Engines

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Express 3500? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your Express 3500 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Chevrolet engine sound different? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Chevrolet Express 3500 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • What could damage a Chevrolet engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Chevrolet Express 3500 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 slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.
  • Is it okay to put water in my Chevrolet Express 3500 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.
