The engine cooling fan does not seem to kick out, making accelerating and driving at crusing speed loud. I think I can hear the belt slipping too but not all the time, just when ecelerating. Any sugestions?
thankyou for your time

Re: 2003 1500 siverado engine cooling fan
If the fan is extemely loud, then the fan clutch has failed and needs to tbe replaced.

04 Chevy big block weird running problem
I got a 04 2500hd with the 8.1l motor. I had to replace the motor because the old motor was ran with no oil. I had it running great and put about 500 miles on the new motor. It was running great and I got up to go to school the next morning and went out to start it. it started fine and I went back inside for ten minutes and when I came back out it was idling rough, the check engine light started flashing so I didn't drive it that day. I ended up reading the codes from the computer and it was saying that cylinder 7 and 8 were miss firing at the same exact time I tested pressure and everything like that. then while trying to rev it a big clunking noise started like the timing was off. it also wouldn't rev above 3000rpm. it would just totally max out at that. what I don't understand is that I had it running great for about 500 miles before all this happened...I am extremely stumped and would like some advice. thanks
Re: 04 big block weird problem
If you have a misfire still on cylinders 7 and 8, you really need to look in that area. It doesn't matter how fine it was running before, as anything can go wrong at any time. Did you purchase a new GM engine? Or did you get a remanufactured unit or junkyard engine? If was either of the latter, you could have gotten a bad piece. Maybe it's a valvetrain problem, like lifters or rockers, if it's noisy. Possibly its just an ignition issue, like a normal misfire. You might want to try a compression check, and then check for spark, etc....all the basics first.
If you can't find anything, try removing a valve cover and looking for issues like a broken valve spring, broken rocker arm, or lifter that has failed. Worst case scenario, something broke inside in the engine and it will need to be replaced again or taken apart and repaired. Hopefully it's just something simple.
