My 2020 2500HD gas sounds like the fuel pump or something similar starts up when I open a door. Is that normal? I only notice it when it has been parked in the garage for a while and I go out after it has been sitting for a while. It also did it the other day when I shut the hood after it had been left open for a few hours.

Yes, if the truck has sat for a decent amount of time, the pump will prime back up at first unlock. Only after it's been sitting still for a while. Merry Christmas, as well!

Thanks! I assumed that it was normal, but figured I would ask. Merry Christmas to you as well!

Does anyone hear static at idle with radio off and air off? Sounds like noise coming from the speaker or behind instrument cluster. Even changes/increases with engine rpm until it stops when rpm is up around 2k. Sounds like speaker static up on the dash. Can hear it at stop light or in driveway.

My '18 does that, I wondered what the noise was when opening the door.  My '15 did not do that - both 6.2 engines.

Curious, why the interest in learning more - is this not supposed to happen on an '18?   My comment wasn't a concern just and observation.

Mine does it too. With all four doors and the tailgate. It’s my least favorite thing about my truck so I guess that’s not bad.  It’s so annoying because it will sometimes do it a couple times if I’m loading my bed and also opening doors. If it only did it with drivers door once it wouldn’t be too bad but why all the doors? Is someone going to enter the rear door or tailgate to start the truck?

At least this time you're letting folks know that their information will be shared. Wish you had let me know when I bought my truck that you would be sharing my driving info with my insurance company. Not sure I'd trust GM with any further information about me or my truck at this point though.

Sheesh. This is why I can't take this lip service seriously when they don't even know how their own vehicles work.

 

 

Driver Door Open Prime (DDOP) or Wake-Up Fuel Pump Prime (WUFPP

 

 

 

TL;DR: This is by normal and by design. Beginning with 2017 MY vehicles, the fuel pump will prime in anticipation of a engine start/ driving event.

Then it should do it upon opening the drivers door only. Mine does it with all four doors and the tailgate. Supposedly normal. Is someone goi by to start the truck from the truck bed?  It is a bit annoying imo.

2017-2018 are drivers door; 2019+ are any of them. So going by your avatar, I'd assume you have a 2020+ HD. My '21 behaves the same where if any door/ tailgate is opened after some time of dormancy, the fuel pump will prime.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
