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.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
