My 2015 sierra 6.2 has what sounds like an exhaust leak when under load or mild acceleration. It sounds like ithe noise is coming from the bottom of the drivers door. The noise increases and decreases with rpm's. Has anyone else had this issue?

Taking my truck to a shop on Friday to try and diagnose this issue. Mine has been getting louder. I will let you all know what they say. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This noise is the last straw. Been a Chevy guy for years. Now ram and ford looking real nice.

Check the flapper valve?? Try clamping it open with a hose fastener and see if the same thing happens. You will hear V4 will now drone just like an aftermarket exhaust

My truck has muffler delete. Noise happens like OP stated...sounds from up front. Was going to bring it up on next oil change. Sounds like exhaust leak. Low rpm cruising for me.

Mine does it as well, my last 2010 6.2 did as well. Not sure if there would be fix for it, I think it is because the cat/exhaust is so close to the floor. In my case I know it isn't the flapper as the 2010 had the same sound and did feature a flap valve.

 

I was debating on heat wrapping the exhaust around the driver door area, but have yet to try it.

My 6.2 dies the same. Has anyone noticed any soot at any exhaust connections? I can't find any, but I just hit 500 miles.

I have this same issue with my 2015 5.3L Silverado.

23,000kms

Just noticed it at about 20,000kms.

Anyone else have the issue and bring up with their dealer?

I'm going to dealer in a couple days, should be interesting to see what they say about it if its a common problem.

Have take the truck in twice now and each time they need to install "spacers" which took 3hrs each time........

I hope this isn't a "spacer" issue as well......

My 2014 makes the same sound. My 07 made it too. My brother in laws shop couldn't find anything wrong with the 07 that would cause that sound. Haven't asked the dealer about the 14. Both trucks had the 5.3.

This is what mine does. 2015 5.3 with 25,000 Km. I had started the "Engine Tick" thread recently. My dealer keeps going to the direct injection fuel pump. replaced the main steel fuel line last week. Noise is worse now.

 

Has anyone found a fix? I thought i remember reading on here that someone once found loose manifold bolts. retightened and was good.

      OK you say you could hang meat but what was the actual temp? One of the AC systems job is to remove humidity that we feel on our body your new system removed alot of humidity as that is were the water comes from on the ac coils and that made it feel colder. 80 degrees with high humidity will feel hot vs 80 degrees with low humidity will feel alot cooler.

      I was using recirc/max air. Especially if it really hot i start out by lowering the front windows a little with regular ac the go to recirculation after a few and rolling windows up. And it does not have the newest refrigerant. It has per the info under the hood r134. Not the new r1234yf.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.
