does the electric cooling fan turn on? if not you'll probably need a BCM body control module.

Sounds like you have a cracked head..
its allowing coolant to escape into the piston cylinders

Report as

Its expensive.. don't know what engine is in that.. if your friend took it to his shop... there is no reason he shouldn't be able to diagnose this problem..

If head gasket work needs to be done , it'll worth a bit expensive but not too exp for Chevy I would say around 800$ with labor
