I have a new 2019 denali 4 door 6.2, it just turned 2,000 miles and it has a chirping noise under the hood at start up most of the time.It sounds like a belt making noise and lasts for about 30 to 45 seconds .Took it to the dealer and they are saying it is in the exhaust and that GM is stating that it is normal. I have owned a lot of vehicles over the years and never had one or heard of one thats supposed to chirp for a while when started. Anybody else notice this also

I think the point was this was for troubleshooting to eliminate if the chirp was coming from the adaptive valve, so I would not be worried about the chopper noise. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatal

Same chirp here on cold startup then goes away when warm, dealer said its normal, pretty annoying.

On the 2014-2018 K2 trucks like mine, the Adaptive Exhaust Valve A.K.A. exhaust flapper slightly before or after the muffler produced a Chirping

noise on startup and also during warm driving when switching from V4 to V8.

Some trucks have it, some do not.

I believe I have the same noise.  My dealer said “could not duplicate”.   I can hear it sometimes when going down the road if the radio isn’t too loud.

Are there any negatives to clamping it open? Also, how does it sound open? Specifically, on the highway. I could hear mine. While it really doesn’t bother me, it sounds like the truck is cheap

With it clamped open the truck will be a touch louder, and you may get a hellicopter noise when it drops down from 8 cylinders.

Definitely not looking to sound like a helicopter. Thanks

I think your right on the exhaust flapper , mine does it but my buddies does not . 

This sounds like a great excuse to buy a cat-back...

I understand that. Difference is I would hear the helicopter while driving my long commute to work where as I only hear the chirp from outside the truck when I’m stopped or with window open. I guess ultimately I have to try it out

I have my 16 clamped open and tuned to turn off afm so no helicopter or chirp. Still pulling over 20 mpg at 70 mph with mud tires. If the adaptive valve is rattling or chirping the dealer may replace it under warranty. Mine has been replaced twice so far but the rattle always comes back.a180a1421588992c666b7de776986f70.jpg

I bought a new 2019 GMC Sierra SLT 6.2 about a week ago. Had the stock muffler, as well as the adaptive valves in front of and behind it removed.

 

Had a Flowmaster 50 Delta Flow Added for a nice deep tone to enhance my driving experience that would not upset the neighbors. 

 

I still hear a chirping sound on a cold startup and when the truck kicks off at a red light and starts up. I know jack sh*t about engines or any of this. I just love trucks... and hate chirping. The chirping reminds me of the exhaust of the VW Beetle from the 70’s. Thoughts?

Yep.  I have the GM cat back and hear the chirping too (on cold starts).  Seems to go away when warm.

      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. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
