your oil pump could have gone bad or you have a restriction in the flow like a clogged oil filter. needless to say if it is knocking it may have caused major dammage
On the 2008 Chevy Silverado, the ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) gauge is located on the instrument cluster, which is directly in front of the driver. It is typically part of the gauge array that includes the speedometer and other critical indicators. The ECT gauge displays the temperature of the engine coolant, helping the driver monitor engine health. If the gauge shows abnormal readings, it may indicate a cooling system issue.
195 to 210 is normal
Waht is the answer?
In a 1991 Chevrolet Silverado with a 5.7L engine, the temperature gauge sensor is typically located on the engine block, near the thermostat housing. It's often found on the driver's side, threaded into the intake manifold or cylinder head. This sensor sends temperature readings to the gauge on the dashboard, allowing you to monitor the engine's operating temperature. Make sure to consult the vehicle's service manual for the exact location and details.
Definitely! I had this problem diagnosed and found that the gas gauge is fine, but the internal float sticks and this is a common problem. Obviously the "Check Engine Soon" comes on because of this and the gas gauge is almost always incorrect.
If it is not working you have no oil pressure and the oil light will come on or the oil pressure gauge will drop to 0. You will also hear engine noise, as in, pecking, or knocking. Engine will also overheat very quickly.
It is on the drivers side head, Back by the last spark plug by the cab.
NO. it has NOTHING to do with the engine starting. It works the fuel gauge in the dash only.
Check the sending unit between the left first 2 spark plugs. Ground the wire with key on (gauge should peg full hot). If it does change the sending unit.
check the plug at the tank to see if its conected good
Buy a new Speedometer cluster. The external Temp gauge is extremely rare
were is the fuse for speed gauge
