Questions About 1989 Chevrolet R2500 Suburban Engines

  • Why does my R2500 Suburban’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 just your R2500 Suburban testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Chevrolet R2500 Suburban making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Chevrolet R2500 Suburban 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 indicate 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 R2500 Suburban engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Is it okay to put water in my Chevrolet R2500 Suburban 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 R2500 Suburban when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
  • What can cause the engine in my R2500 Suburban to suddenly stop? Your R2500 Suburban car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
