Update...

 

The second dealer also stated the noise is NOT normal. We compared to another 2500 LTZ and no noise. 
 

Called customer service again (they acted like they knew nothing about it at first...) and setup another appointment with the original dealer- now I’m dealing with the Service Director only. 
 

The service director ordered and replaced the Booster Inlet Hose # SPO 084150115 (2 days at the dealer).   When I picked the truck up there was no noise. Once it warmed up- the Groaning noise is still there and now there are also noises that sound like possible air in the lines. 

I take it back in Monday which will make 5 dealer visits for this issue.

 

If it’s not fixed this time around is this a lemon law case?  Hate to do it, but 2200 miles....

 

 

Can you give us an update having same issue with mine  not having any luck on a fix saying is normal bs if you ask me just spend 60+ to have a humming noise

Any updates on this? I have a 2020 Denali HD Duramax and am having the same issues. Had the truck in the dealership 6 times now. They’ve replaced the intermediate shaft, power steering pump and still making the same noise. Very frustrating as I absolutely love this truck, but getting a bit ridiculous

I sat in 3 different gas 2500 at the dealer that made the same noise.  2 others didn’t make the noise. GM seems either clueless on how to fix or just unwilling to repair something that’s apparently just an annoyance. 
 

so.  ...

 

I bought a tiny Flowmaster muffler and now I barely hear it.  Seriously, that’s what I did. I’m tired of wasting time on it, I really like the truck otherwise.

I have a 2022 2500hd LTZ gasser and had the same dreaded low speed (under 35mph) power steering whine since brand new.  Sounded like the noisy 1990s Ford power steering units.  First, took it back to the dealer with still under 1000 miles on it and they replaced the power steering pump. They claimed it helped but did not entirely fix the problem.  Picked it up and did not notice any improvement with the issue.  Took it back again and they worked with GM tech support and agreed to replace all the hoses.  They claimed the issue is poor and over crimped hoses causing restriction. Fixed the problem and 100% better.

Wonder if the cold weather hoses, gm sells aftermarket, would cure it?

Well..

I just traded in my 2019 1500T1 Z71 LTZ Friday for a 2020 2500 Z71 LTZ Gas.  Basically a bigger brother with a few more options.

 

On the way home from the dealer I started to hear a groaning sound from the power steering.  It has Digital Variable steering assist.   Sounds like a bad power steering pump from the ones I have heard in the past.  Sound changes with engine RPM, gets louder once warmed up and louder the farther you turn the wheel each way.  Truck has 297 miles...  :(

 

I haven't seen any complaints about this for the new model unless I missed the thread.  Anybody else?

 

My dealer has been great, providing me with a brand new Malibu loaner car, but damn I want my truck, lol!  

 

UPDATE

 

As I type this they just called me.  "Known issue, no  fix yet per GM" .  They are submitting a report or something like that.  They also admitted it shouldn't make that noise.  The Tech seemed genuinely concerned to fix it but no resolution.  I'm headed to pick it up now. It drives perfectly, just annoying to hear that all the time.

 

Hope this doesn't turn into one of "those" threads...dammit.

 

 

 

 

Well, it 2023 and my brand new Silverado gasser is doing the same as all you guys are talking about. Very disappointed with this noise in a $64k truck with 1100mi! Glad I found this thread. At least I know I’m not alone. Made my 1st appointment with the dealer. The mechanic said he’d try another pump. Here’s hoping!

Going to ask about this fix when I bring mine in! Thank you!

What Fisker said..is what my 2022 3500 gasser is doing.  Been doing this since it was new. I have 25,000 on it now and still makes the noise and didnt get any worse. I'm going to leave it alone so not to cause a "real" problem from human hands.

I like the thought of crimped or restricked hoses though, When/if mine ever leak and i replace, maybe the noise will go away lol

No idea if this will work for you, but I posted on this back in December:

 

FWIW

 

The whine was driving me nuts too and it started at about 5000 miles.
 

Dipstick read right in the middle of range. So I sucked all the oil out which was VERY DARK (while rotating the wheel all the way left and right). Then I flushed it with new oil (siphoning and refilling). Since my mechanic friend said I should add a leak additive, I added: 


Bar’s Leaks - Power Steering Repair

 

And finished with it filled to the top line of the dipstick. 
 

Happened to be taking a 300mi drive the next day. When I arrived the sound was much quieter.
 

Sounds like it did from the factory.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
