To check the transmission fluid level on a 2002 Chevy Silverado with a 4.8-liter engine, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is running at operating temperature. Locate the transmission dipstick, which is typically near the back of the engine, and pull it out. Wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, then remove it again to check the fluid level; it should be within the marked range on the dipstick. If the fluid is low, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube.
Pull up the dipstick, wipe it off, reinsert it, pull it back out, read the level.
If coolant level gets too low the engine can overheat.
That means the engine is running HOT. Need to check the coolant level and check for coolant leaks.
NO. it has NOTHING to do with the engine starting. It works the fuel gauge in the dash only.
That means the engine is over heating / running hot for some reason. Check thermostat, Coolant level in radiator, check for coolant leak on engine somewhere. Fix and repair as needed.
this is for safety so engine does not get ruined,check oil level!!
Park the vehicle on a level surface. Drain the oil, change the filter. Add 5 quarts of the correct weight oil and check the level. Start the engine and run for 1 minute. Shut down and wait 30 minutes. Check the oil level and add as necessary to reach the full mark on the dipstick. You now know the capacity.
Turn key on, DO NOT START. Then push the gas pedal all the way down to the floor 3 times, then turn key off and then START the engine. Be sure to let off of the gas pedal each time.
straight down the dipstick hole. (the dipstick you removed to check the fluid level)
That means the engine is overheating. Check in this ORDER. First check coolant level in radiator, if low then Find and FIX the LEAK and refill the system with COOLANT. Check engine FAN clutch, Thermostat, Radiator making sure it is NOT stoped up. You will find your problem in these AREA.
