Weird Noise Developing At Speeds Higher Than 35mph?

Background: 05 Sierra 1/2 ton crew 4x4. 85000 kilometers on the clock (52000 miles). Truck babied since new.

 

As recent as a few weeks ago I started to hear what sounded like a noice soming from behind the dash/firewall area once my speed reached about 60km/hr (37mph). The noise is barely noticeable with the radio off and is constant from that speed on up. Almost appears to get a wee bit louder as speeds rise.

 

Kinda sounds like a noisy lifter, but when I put the truck in neutral and gas it, there is no change either with load or without. I'm satisfied its not engine related. I thought maybe wind noise as I drove faster, but checked the obvious things such as mudflaps, even took off the bug deflector, checked the weatherstripping, looked for anything that might be loose (roof antenna ect) and nothing seems out of place.

 

The best description I can give is it almost sounds like "gurgling water" when I get up to speed. I thought maybe something to do with the heating/ac controls. I have tried every setting, turned it off ect and no change.

 

Anyone experience a similar noise? I'm hoping its not something like a bearing. I have greased everything routinely and that seems like pretty low mileage for a bearing problem.

I'll check, but from what I've read most coolant issues are on start up and only last for a few minutes then go away. At least in terms of the "gurgling" noise.

Mine begins immediately once I hit speed whether engine has warmed up or not and does not go away.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
