I have a 2014 Silverado LTZ (very high milage - 219,000)  Runs great and still has some power left under the hood.  For the most part, it is in great shape.  It have a strange noise when acceleration or getting up to about 3 or 4 thousand RPM.  It only does it under load, so it is hard to find where the noise is coming from.  In the attached video, it takes place at 12-18s and then again at 40-46s.  It is hard to hear because of the wind noise, but I can't figure out how to isolate the noise any better.  If anyone has any ideas, I would sure appreciate the input.  The water pump was just replaced, and so was the alternator, along with the tensioner pulley.  I admit my limited knowledge under the hood, but I am willing to learn and fix it, if I can.

Nope, all US units....  My boss does a TON of driving for work, and replaces his truck every 5-7 years, as his mileage is quite high.  The body and interior are immaculate.  The engine does have a lit

Have the universal joints been replaced? A dry joint will cause a squeak/chatter as it seizes up.

Does it change with engine speed?  What I could hear, sounded like the beginnings of a bearing drying out.  Maybe belt tensioner idler or alternator.

Not to my knowledge.  I will check with the boss.  It is his old pickup that was handed down to me.  If that could be it, that is fairly easy to fix.  Thanks for the input!

219K?  No lifter failures?  AFM still running?  Nobody would believe this....

It starts mostly when getting up to 3,000 to 4,000 rpms and stays pretty constant if I keep it there.  If I let off of the gas, it stops instantly.  If I step back on, it starts up again.  Cruising around town at slower speeds and less rpm's does not start it up.  Once I let off of the gas and then ease back on it on the freeway, I can keep it from happening most times.  It really is just when it is under heavier acceleration.  I hope that makes sense.  Alternator was just replaced last weekend, and the water pump and tension pulley were replaced about 3 months ago.  Figured we would replace the tension pulley while we were in there.

That does, and I agree with @sdeeter19555, I'd take a look at the condition of the U-joints in the driveshafts.  It sounds like it's 'tension' based and the most common place for that to happen is the driveline.

Pardon my ignorance, but if it was lifters, would it make the sound while rev'd up in neutral?  It only does it while under load (in drive).  I have tried to replicate it while power braking, but it won't do it.  There seems to be an engine safety mechanism in place.  Also, I will have to read up on AFM, as I do not know what that is, at least not by the acronym.

Thanks!  I hope it is something like this, that can be fixed without too much trouble.

O.K., AFM is for the management when the cylinders cut off from 8 to 4.  That system has not been replaced to my knowledge.  Could that cause this problem?

Hes just asking because this is very high mileage for this truck model. People have wondered about the longevity of the engine with AFM activated. Some people deactivate it because they fear it will cause problems long term.

 

You're not using Canadian KM measurements are you? 219K Miles is a lot for 5 or 6 year old truck.

Nope, all US units....  My boss does a TON of driving for work, and replaces his truck every 5-7 years, as his mileage is quite high.  The body and interior are immaculate.  The engine does have a little noise when you first start it up, until the oil gets moving, but nothing very bad.  All in all it is a great truck.  Better than the old one I drove, 2003 Silverado 1500 LT with 174k miles - still have that one and will pass it on to my youngest son who will start driving in 6 months....lol.  I know every mile on that one and it is still nice as well.  This one is just nicer inside.  I don't complain about any of them, as they are company trucks and I don't have to pay for anything.  Quite the deal as far as I am concerned.  Since they take care of me, I like to take care of the trucks and don't mind working on them when I need to.  Figure that is a fair trade off.

O.K., I was able to make a couple more sound samples yesterday, and this morning.  I tried recording them with the windows up and the A/C and radio off to see if I could isolate the noise a bit more.  It is a bit clearer.  I also kept on it a bit and then let off and pressed again to show how it slows down and speeds up with acceleration.  Maybe these sound bites will be better.

That sounds like it could be the flapper valve oscillating with the exhaust.  I'd clamp it open and drive the truck and see if it stops making the noise.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
