Bad Wind Noise

Hi
I purchased a 2014 gmc crew cab a month ago and have a wind noise problem around the passenger door seal at the top.
I took it back to the dealer, they ordered a new weather seal, which took 10 days to get in, they installed it seemed better until I drove at highway speed.
Now I have a wind noise in the same place but on the drivers door.
Back to the dealer and waiting for another set of weather stripping, and today i was driving in a cross wind at highway speed the fixed pass door was noisy again.
So I'm not sure how many people have this wind noise problem?I'm getting very frustrated.
What do I do?
Thanks for listening.

I've got a similar problem with mine, terrible wind noise, but I have it narrowed down, it only happens when you turn the heater ac fan on. The faster the fan speed, the louder the wind noise, GM cut more corners, by sealing up the vehicle so tight they forgot to remember the HVAC system fan was blowing air, with no where for it to go.

 

Saw a post where GM was allowing dealers to adjust the outside air mixer door to open up more, to reduce the inside cab air pressure, but they warned that your heater and ac would not work as well as it should.

 

Same ole GM, no real concern for quality, they had a chance with these new pickups, but there quality is still way behind FORD and DODGE.

You're the first person I have heard of to have this issue. I can't hear any outside noise in mine.

 

I hope the dealer can get you all fixed up.

They were selling me on the new triple seal doors, sounded good to me except the wind noise.

Yes I hope they can fix it up soon.

Hard to digest when you dish out the big bucks for these trucks!

Mine is very quiet also, but I did notice some wind noise when I was at highway speeds with a 35mph crosswind. I attributed that to the weather conditions, not the truck.

Im in Canada and it gets cool here but I hope they make these to handle the cold temps?

Everyone turn your radio off and turn your heater fan motor to high and tell me what you hear, sitting still or driving down the road.

Exactly what I experience too. Chalk it up to weather, haven't had a vehicle yet that doesn't. Although I think it's more noticeable with these new trucks because they are so quiet.

This noise was almost like a vibration, sounded like the door was being sucked out or something. My wife thougth it was the wind catching the mudflaps and making them rattle. It was a very pronounced noise, more a rattle than wind noise. It took a really good gust at just the right angle and it would last for a few seconds and be gone as quick as it came. Nothing that could be fixed or complained about, that's for sure.

I hope not, my 2008 gmc has no wind noise like my new 2014 has.

The dealer recognizes the problem, hope they can fix it.

No wind noise on mine. Weathertech in channel visors add a little noise but I'm used to it now.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
