Why does the check engine light in my G1500 turn on when I start my car?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your G1500 firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why is my GMC G1500 making engine noise?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your GMC G1500 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. 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 GMC G1500 engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Is it okay to put water in my GMC G1500 radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your G1500 radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.

What could cause my G1500 engine to suddenly stop?

If your G1500 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
