Why does the check engine light in my Silverado 2500 turn on when I start my car?

Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 making engine noise?

Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided.

Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Can I add water to my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 radiator?

However, if you need to continue driving your Silverado 2500 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
