Why does my Chevrolet engine sound different?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Chevrolet Tahoe. 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 Tahoe engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I put water in my Chevrolet Tahoe 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 Tahoe when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

Why did my Tahoe engine suddenly stop?

Reasons your Tahoe car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
