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

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

2019 high country 6.2L also same here and they said it’s normal.

Had this for a while, same as others. Seems to be only affecting the 6.2 with 10 speed. I'm almost certain at this point the chirping is coming from the 10-speed. Try this test, when you cold start it, put it in drive right away and press the accelerator pedal very lightly, the chirp will be a bit louder.

Changed my exhaust to a Borla and still have the chirp.  It is not the exhaust.

 

How noticeable is the chirp now since you replaced the exhaust & what exactly did you replace?

Yikes glad I found this thread!  I have a 2021 6.2L 10-speed Chevy Trailboss LT.  Mine has done the same from new.  When im slowing down to come to a stop right before I get to a complete stop there is an audible chirp.  It goes away when stopped and doesnt appear when accelerating.  Only decelerating.  

 

I had the muffle and adaptive valve deleted and its still there.  Funny thing is the dealer is saying put it back to stock as they usually check the adaptive valve to see if thats the issue....Well I deleted it duhhhhh and its still an issue.

 

Luckily another dealer is going to do a full once over.  Its annoying and sounds cheap but as long as its not hurting the truck I guess I just deal with it.

 

If anyone else has a solution though let me know!

Just got a 21 AT4 6.2L and when i remote start is sounds like a sqeaking/chirping belt. Drives me crazy. Don't really have the time to goto the dealer with it at this point.

I have a 2020 6.2 Trailboss I have a muffler/flap delete and thought that maybe the lack of backpressure/reverberation was causing it because it sounded to be in the exhaust. I have a Borla Atak coming i was hoping would remedy the issue, sounds like it wont.

Did they say what is causing it? I was going to take mine down but have been down this road before with the dealers..."cant reproduce" "its normal"...$66,000 truck shouldn't chirp and squeak like a POS....my last 4 trucks haven't done this. Very annoyed with you.

Did they tell you what it is and how it's "normal"....None of my trucks have ever sounded like this.

It's the starter.  I didn't believe them at first and they don't know exactly how the starter is creating the chirping, but they said there's a noticeable reduction in the sound with a new starter.  They replaced mine, and it is better but still there for about a second.  Previously it would last several minutes after startup.

Yeah mine lasts a long time too, sounds like a belt in an old POS car haha.

I just purchased a 2021 Sierra, 6.2L.  Same noise.  Frustrating to see this thread without a solution.  I've had it to the dealer twice and told they couldn't hear it, only to hear it at ever stop on the way home.  I'm going to try another GMC dealership... i'm hoping this is corrected.  Embarrassing and frustrating to hear on a brand new truck.  I'll post if anything is resolved.

Yep my 20' did this but only at cold start and autostarts.  My 21' I now hear doing it at low speed downshifts as well. 

 

It's interesting it's the starter since I'm hearing it downshifting as well.  I haven't tried it yet but I've read at least a couple people on facebook say that running in L9 (which disables DFM and autostop) also stops the noise at low speed downshifts. 

 

I've heard GM claim it's everything from the high pressure fuel pump, exhaust flappers, stator, starter, so far I don't think I've seen anything conclusive that was replaced and has eliminated the noise for anyone.   You'd think after 3 models years they'd have this sorted out.

      2026 Silv. 1500 WT reg cab: how many speakers do I have? Is amp module separate?

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes.  Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? Thanks Bill  San Jose

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).
