Why does the check engine light in my Sierra 1500 Limited turn on when I start my car?

Why does my GMC engine sound different?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your GMC Sierra 1500 Limited engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my GMC Sierra 1500 Limited engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine.

Can I add water to my GMC Sierra 1500 Limited radiator?

However, if you need to continue driving your Sierra 1500 Limited when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
