Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

[Solved]Weird Noise from engine after recent Trip.

Something not working right?

by Cable810 » Fri Jun 07, 2013 10:14 pm

Just started after the last off-road trip I had taken. I have a suspension that It might be a water pump or something to do with the serpentine belt. Or water got into something and is making the noise.

Oh, looks like you have it figured out... Whenever I have a weird noise after a recent trip, it's usually that the dead hooker in the trunk isn't actually dead.

If you'd just cut their throats rather than doing that erotic strangulation thing you wouldn't have that problem.

One more reason to tear out the carpet and spray some rhino liner on the inside... Simple garden hose will fix the mess

Hmmm, so that's why my husband ripped the carpet out and rhino lined the back.....looks like he's got some explaining to do.

Check the wire harness that plugs into the fan clutch. Sometimes people knock it loose or tear a wire when working down in the engine bay.
