Thanks this makes sense.
The part my mechanical knowledge still does not understand is after I had added coolant (water) back into the tank, I tried to drive it like 2 miles and I saw temps climbing, I pulled over to the side of the road and opened the hood and res tank was *empty*, and then...
Looking back on the entire thing, My only possible thought here is that somehow air made its way into the coolant system and an airlock took place which at some point along the process was resolved. I was on no sleep and it was 38 degrees and raining when this all happened and there were things...
Finally back in Ohio and catching up on all this.
The end result here was frustrating in that the Chevy dealership in Saint Anthony could not I.D the issue. They ended up replacing the 2 coolant res caps, the service manager drove it for 120 miles and could not get the issue to replicate again...
Really appreciate you guys.

I can go out to the parking lot now and check the oil cap
The temp rapidly spiked up was definitely not gradual
No signs of obvious leakage I...
Hey guys. In a bad bind and need some help.
Currently I have been towed but am stranded in Yellowstone national park :(
Here is what happened...
Got a warning the engine was overheating and pulled over. The coolant reservoir was steaming and was empty. I checked this before our trip and it...
Thanks man. Really appreciate it. I am going to show this to the service manager.
In response to the other question, it was in extreme heat and humidity that day
Hey guys. First time post.
Today after filling up at the pump, I turned the car on and my speedometer screen was totally black. Never came on after several times locking and getting out of the car. Had to guess speed for an hour of driving.
Once I got to my destination I shut the car off for...
Just picked up my 2022 z71 and have been looking at bars. Would like to test them for you. I'm an engineer so I enjoy a good proof of concept. Located in Ohio if you have room
