Default something splashing

Thanks for the help on the spark plug issue. I hear something splashing near the floor by the tranny area, when i go from a dead stop. Then you don't hear it, when you are moving. I sometimes hear it when im in park & rev up the engine. I don't hear when im at idle. It's a 95 blazer w/ 4.3L vortec engine 4x4. I can't figure out what it is.

Have you checked your coolant level? If the radiator is low, you could be hearing the coolant splashing around in the heater core.

If it is low, it may take several fillups to top off the system as more and more air works its way back to the radiator.

Check the coolant level and let us know.

No problem!

Please let us know if that fixes your problem. Like I said, it may take a few fill up attempts to get all of the air out.

Check the level again when the engine is cold too.
