Just found this old post..... I will resurrect it here in 2022. My 2020 suburban premier rst started this same squeal/whine noise about a week ago. Checked it out and it was coming from the water pump. It just hit 60k miles and I have the extended bumper 2 bumper through gm. My family and I were driving into town today and all the sudden I get a bad squealing/grinding noise. I opened the window ( to make sure it was me.... we live in GA). It was and all I could smell was coolant. Drove it straight to the dealer and made them give me a loaner because the rental car place was closed at 4pm on a Saturday. We left in a Tahoe trade in and I'll be talking to the service manager Monday I guess.
