The Chevy Silverado comes equipped with a timing chain. It's recommended to change the coolant every 60,000 miles, while the air filter should be replaced between 15,000 and 30,000 miles. Typically, spark plugs should be swapped out every 100,000 miles unless using copper ones, in which case they should be changed every 30,000 miles. Engine issues can arise, such as loose gaskets needing tightening, spark plugs popping off, or oil leaks that require immediate repair. Excessive oil consumption may necessitate more frequent oil changes. A critical issue to watch out for is engine overheating, which could potentially lead to fires and even explosions.

    It seems like there may be issues with the spark plug possibly coming loose or the gasket being loose. This message was likely written by a bot or someone not very knowledgeable. It's just one of those countless unhelpful clickbait sites out there. Ignore it!

    My 2013 Chevy Silverado made a loud rumbling noise and then suddenly went silent as if the engine had just shut off.
