So glad to hear Im not the only one. I don't have a HC, just a regular ol RST. I wonder why it only does it on the auto stop for me, but not cold starts or even warm starts for that matter. Im failing to see what is actually squeaking tho, is this an oil pressure issue to the valve train?

So the dealer is putting a new transmission in mine, they said it was a bad planetary gear making the squeaking/chirping noise. They said my issue is all recorded in the GM tech bulletin stuff and any

Just an update on mine....we are pulling the travel trailer on a trip and it seems like its getting louder when we cold start and I can hear it now on the highway between 1000-2000 rpms.  6,2 10 speed

Subscribing (19 6.2 HC).  I have a catch can system and it still happens.  Doubt its PVC at all.  To me it sounds like pulley or compressor.

The dealership changes the belt with no prevail.  I further looked into the squeaking when starting and low idil and found the noise was coming from below and  not the engine bay.  I’m thinking it may be the flywheel area. Considering It’s when starting it makes sense.  Like mentioned before, it’s embarrassing having purchased a new truck and having this issue sucks.

Nope. Look farther back. Under the drivers side front door. That’s where you’ll find it because it’s not the belt or motor. It’s a normal noise that ALL 6.2s make.

Any Updates on this?  I have a 2020 6.2 TB that does exactly this and like in the video posed by FishHuntRepeat.

 

Dealer said they cannot hear it or get it to repeat.  I think it is related to the Auto Start Stop.  If I turn it off after start up, it will go away quick.  Could this be something charging up?  Not sure how that Auto S/S functions or if it has a belt or compressor ran to it.  Cant see PIP5587 has changed from "Normal Noise"

And you know for a fact it’s coming from under the hood?

My noise is coming from under the drivers door.

Just bought a '21 AT4 with the 6.2 in January. Have about 2200 miles on it now, and I'm having the same issue. My truck came from the dealer with an upgraded exhaust and a K&N intake. It sounds like birds chirping/belt squealing. I really notice it when I'm coasting/slowing down and the truck downshifts around the 15mph mark. I can replicate it 95% of the time I would say. Very disappointed to hear this has been an issue that hasn't been addressed by GM!

2020 TB 6.2 10 speed. Same issue. 12,****** miles. Whining occurs during cold start or when truck has been sitting for a few hours or more. Whines for 20-30 secs, and under low rpm while driving.

 

Read all 7 pages of this thread. And from what I gather there doesn't appear to be a fix and it is considered normal for 6.2s.

 

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Add me to the list of bird chirp. '21 TB 6.2L. i first noticed it at about 1700 miles on it. id say it happens on 90% of startups from sitting (not auto S/S). I will say that it is coming from the drivers side, under side is more pronounced than above the motor.

 

Someone previously mentioned possible problems as the DFM cylinder shutdown, has anyone tried using the Pulsar LT DFM delete to fix it? I have one on the way so I will report back if that resolves the issue.

i have an appointment to take it to the dealer, lets see what they say!

 

im also trying to understand what a "squeaky exhaust valve" is? i dont see how its possible to have that little oil in the valve train to cause a squeak/squeal and if so we would have a lot more bent valves and rods than the 1 listed above!

 

as for this being "normal" I would disagree. It didn't squeal at the dealership when I drove it so i would say that this is not "normal"

I have a 2019 gmc sierra at4 5.3  and the dealership recently changed the harmonic balancer on mine under warranty and that fixed the squeaking/ chirping sound it was making

 Great to know we are making progress!!!

 

Was your problem on startups or was it all the time?

 

im lost why it only happens on startup (cold starts and auto S/S) and then goes away after 30 ish seconds??

It would do it on startup pretty much every morning and then go away sometimes and sometimes it wouldn't. I figured it was maybe moisture from sitting over night but even on hot days after work it still would make the sound so I had a friend of mine who is a mechanic diagnosed it for me and told me to take it to dealer since I had warranty still n that they should fix it and they did. Took 2 days for them to fix it but now it's quiet like it's supposed to be,  love starting it in the morning and all I hear is my exhaust

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
