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.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
