Why does my K2500’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your K2500 firing up its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why does my Chevrolet engine sound different?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Chevrolet K2500 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Chevrolet K2500 engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to my Chevrolet K2500 radiator?

While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your K2500 radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.

What can cause a K2500 engine to suddenly stop?
