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 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.

      Video processing module location

      By twgraham · Posted

      Can someone tell me where the video processing module is in a 2023 Silverado? I'm getting conflicting results that it's in the front passenger area or the rear passenger area behind the seat.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.
