i just bought a new truck and i noticed that there is a loud popping noise coming from the engine bay. it only happens once fro a split second and its always does it about 1 or 2 minutes after i have started driving....
my first suspision is that the thermostat is malfunctioning, and not opening at ease with the heat, instead getting stuck until it gets hot enough to pop it open. the guy i bought it from did replace the thermostat right before i bought it from him.
also on that note. the temp guage sits just above the 1/2 mark. my other colorado only runs at the 1/4 mark? is that normal, or just that help justify that he put in a faulty thermostat?
