My truck has made this noise since day 1. It has not worsened or caused any issue in the 3 years I have owned the truck. The noise has been brought up before and is very very common. I don't remember if anyone has ever 100% confirmed what makes the noise. I assumed it's either the oil pump or the vacuum asist pump for the brakes.

I am really wondering if it doenst have something to do with the multiple displacement oil pump they are running now. You can kind of hear the noise change when it shifts into 2nd and really starts to take off.

Reviving an old thread. My 2018 makes this same noise. I took it to the dealer last week. They pulled the drive belts off and checked all the pulleys and said they were all smooth and felt good. I would love to know what it is. Dealer said there is nothing wrong, but they could hear it too.

I had the same issue. An annoying faint whine between 1500 rpms when accelerating sounds like it’s coming from behind the gauge cluster. 
 

Change the automatic volume setting. When I set mine to Med-high I haven’t had the issue since

Anyone have a different outcome with this?  Mine started recently (49k miles on the truck) and I want to get to the bottom of it if possible.

I drive a 2018 Chev Silverado 6.2L, also I have the same whining noise. My dealer told me it was the air pump and the noise was normal. The noise is there on idle and also when the engine is revved it gets louder.

sounds like converter or transmission pump failure, what ever you do don't do any wide open throttle flogs, the trans will die fast.. my 2012 Sierra does this and its pre failure noises. if your smart youll rebuild the trans or sell the truck before the repair cost go up

. We have a 2018 Silverado 2500 HD diesel truck with 99,000 miles on it. All maintenance, fluids, def have been all checked, refilled and coolant container replaced, The truck started making a “whining” sound that has never been heard before. It happens when acceleration into 2-5 speeds and continues while engine is on. We took it in and the computer did not find anything wrong with it. My question to anybody is can the computer be wrong? Is there something else we could have checked? The shop had nothing else to offer us. Reading these questions tells me that there is something else wrong. Help please. We just spent 2000$ so far on this issue with the noise still the same. The shop even heard the noise. What else can we do? Thank you

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
