Questions About 1996 GMC Savana 3500 Engines

  • Why is my GMC Savana 3500 making engine noise? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your GMC Savana 3500 engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil.

  • What could damage my GMC Savana 3500 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 slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I add water to my GMC Savana 3500 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.
