I began hearing a noise yesterday and almost sounds like a pulley goof bad or belt noise. It gets louder as the truck gets warmer. Sounds like a squeak/rubbing noise. Any ideas it's a 2015 Silverado 5.3 with 6k miles on it.

Sounds like a trip to the dealer to me...

I'm going in the morning.. Just trying to get ideas before hand. It sounds near the water pump. Maybe belt noise.

Not being sarcastic, but the new motors have so many different sounds than my 2011 Silvy 5.3L, it's hard to tell. I've come to know the fuel pump and injector noises, but hard to tell others...good to hear you're taking her in.

took mine in for the transfercase update and mentioned the same noise. lol they claimed it was to do with the fuel injection I have been a mechanic for 35 years/ so I said to him that he was a retard to think I was going to believe that. he said just a weird noise we will fix when there is a failure lol, which is lots of luck,

FYI

 

Only makes noise after truck was warmed then let cool some and after it rewarmed

These engines are so much quieter it's making any other noise sound that much louder. jzalidvar's noise isn't a normal noise on the new engine -- there was definitely something wrong, a water pump in this case. Just about every guy that stops and listens to the new engine will hear the injector noise and think noisy lifter though. It's completely normal, has been since direct injection gas engines have been sold.

I noticed the same noise a few weeks ago, stopped by a dealer and the service tech said water pump. Scheduled an appt. for Monday morning to have it replaced. 19,000 miles on her. And the 3rd warranty issue since purchase! GM quality .

So these water pumps have 20k mile Chinese bearings in them now?

Just took my 2015 Silverado in this morning for a hair line crack in the waterpump housing causing it to leak coolant.

no noise though. It has only 1800miles on it. sucks

I did not realize water could crack (unless it is frozen of course).

 

I wonder what the failure rate is on these water pumps.

Gm needs to find some new sources for water pumps. The some Chevy Traverse's and the other Lambda's all have failer issues as well.

 

At least on the Trucks it's an easier repair.

Found the Tread! Yup, it's me got the bad Water pump! Freaking Dealer turned me around.....Could NOT DUPLICATE SOUND!

They fix my Tranny programming......don't fill the crankcase with correct amount of oil....and can't replicate the noise I am screaming! I must have gone to my local dealer?

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
