Low coolant
Its a bad low coolant sensor. Common on these Chevy models.
on a 2002 Chevy silverado with a 4.6 liter v6 where is the coolant sensor for low coolant. I have a light on and check the overflow and their is coolant but don't know if their is another one or not.
The 1995 Chevy Silverado coolant sensor is located on the front of the engine. The coolant sensor will be a few inches above the thermostat housing.
Dexcool, Orange color.
It's on the coolant reservoir.
If you are sure that it did not freeze and crack the block, Then the intake manifold gasket is leaking. That is a common problem with the vortec Chevy engines. You need to replace the gasket with a factory Chevy gasket from the dealer.
Pour the coolant in the radiator.
Check your coolant. Is it thick and gunky?
A 2000 Chevrolet Silverado with a 5.3 liter engine takes 13.4 quarts of coolant. It is suggest that the coolant be mixed 50/50 with water.
195 to 210 degrees is normal.
I have an 05 silverado 1500 and the temp sensor is on the driver side head in front of the exhast manifold.
