Best answer (according to cold in Utah)
cold in Utah from United States 8 years ago
I figured out it was the thermostat. The upper house was cold, thus the thermostat was shut,, The noise that sounded like a blower,, was the fan on the truck. Turns out it is a very intelligent system , The truck has a brain, that when the thermostat is stuck and senses the truck engine is hot,,, it does all it can to put all efforts to cool the engine. Thus it increase fan speed to a very high speed and shuts down all demands to the cab,,. It shuts down the defrost to conserve energy and to protect the engine... a good thing... I learned a lot and I hope this helps the next person... I am used to old school V8's that you tune by ear. This was a real cool lesson, no pun intended :). I feel very good about the technology our cars have built in them. Mahalo,, Thank you

Cold in Utah,,, no More :))

Engine noise

Chevrolet Silverado 2011  90000 miles
My car started making a strange noise, as if it were a template's bearing or damaged band, but we've removed this last one and nothing changed. We've also opened the car's distributor and replaced the oil pump which was softly damaged, but again nothing changed. We've checked it with a stethoscope and the noise seems to be coming from the bottom. There was no overheating nor an oil failure, any help to give me?

The noise might be coming from a piston rod's piece of metal.
adolphus from United States 9 years ago
Thanks for your comment, Delores. I tell you that we've finally solved the problem when we took the engine out and found three damaged propellers. We've then changed them and luckily the car is now working properly.

Fans failure

Chevrolet Silverado 2010  64000 miles
My van's fans are suddenly turned on and the temperature's pressure gauge is disabled. On top of that, a script warns that there is an engine overheating. The thermostat and temperature sensor were replaced, it worked better for two months but the problem is now back. What might it be?

Do you know whether your new temperature sensor is a good quality one? Nowadays there are many of them out there that are cheaper but only last for some weeks, or in the best of the cases months. You should check this first of all.

Air conditioning

Chevrolet Silverado 2005  15000 miles
While driving, suddenly 2 of the ventilations start giving off hot air and the other 2 cold. I then have to stop the car, turn off the engine and wait for 5-10 minutes until I can start it again working properly. It is not that often that this failure takes place but I would like to solve it. Thanks.

Buddy, the vehicle has got a switcher containing some sensors and 40 amp fuses. Try changing them and checking whether your problem is solved.

Possible electrical problem?

Chevrolet Silverado 2009 Crew cab 5.3 185735 miles
Old battery went completely dead, changed it and now I don't have any turn signal noise, door chime, and my radio isn't turning on. I checked every fuse possible and still nothing, any idea what could be the problem?

First, check if there's any loose connector near the battery or semething damaged. I dont´t know Silverado, but maybe there's a sort of BCM or electronic module that controls all you mention.

2015 Silverado Window Exploded

Chevrolet Silverado 2015 High Country  15400 miles
2015 Silverado High Country with only 22,278 Kms.

I remote started the truck, after 5 mins. I got into the drivers seat. And noticed there was a burnt plastic smell. Then the rear passenger side window exploded and shattered.
I had not even put the keys in the ignition.

This problem is mentioned many times online. This is a safety issue not a warranty. There is a recall on the flat window, with the same problem.
