My truck has 131K miles on it. After an oil change by the dealership. I started the truck the next day and noticed a very loud squeal from the engine. It goes away after about 20 secs. But if i drive and give it a good acceleration, you hear the squeal around 3500 to 4500 RMP.

Yes, I have replaced all belts. I took it to the dealer and they said, that there is a bolt missing on exhaust manifold between Cylinder 6 and 8 that may be creating the loud whistle. Wanted to charge me between 300 and 900 depending on how they were gonna try to extract broken bolt and replace.

Either its the broken manifold bolt, which is very possible, or absolute worst case, its internal.  Bent pushrod, busted valve spring, bad AFM lifter on Cyl 4 or 6.  Either way, simply changing the oil wouldn't cause this to magically start, its just coincidence.

Video will not play for me... however... I had what I thought was a bad belt and took it to the dealer as I replaced the belt and had same issue.  (When I started form a stop I'd get a squeak and then again at shifts).   Dealer (Bill Kay ion Lisle Illinois is horrible after 12+ years of being a customer) told me it was there flapper valve. I replaced the full exhaust system with Borla and still had squeak.   Then was pushed off due to Pandemic (understood) and then the trans would "blip" about 200 RPM when  upshifting.   Then when I down shifted I'd get a hard shift.   Took it to Chevy of Naperville and they found a bad Torque converter and the squeak was a "jet" that was restricted.   Full Tran replacement.   (Thankfully I have the extended warrantee!)

The sound happens when the truck is turned on. Last for about 10 - 20 sec. They it happens randomly when I accelerate. Not necessarily during shifts. Jet???

i have a bad squeek on my 2012 2500 HD , 6.0 motor and 6 speed trans. it only squeels bad when i floor it hard,  somone else mentioned it might be the torque converter making the noise, but it hasnt failed yet, and i stopped going WOT . cause i dont like pulling transmissions in the driveway

That is the same. If i do a slow exceleration it may squeak but if i press petal to the metal it last until i let up. I guess when they dropped pan they really didn't look into the torque converter.

Yes, they said "jet" and further explained "fluid passes through there and as pressure changes the trans shift accordingly."

i would go easy on her if you got the squeek or squeel , you might smoke the trans, it probably needs the trans pump updates , and upgraded torque converter,, put an inline filter on the cooler line and see if you catch lots of metal...

I will try that. I looked at the pan drop didn't see any metal in transmission. 

metal is usally inside the trans filter trap, cut it open and look around.  but i would check the belt tension deflection first on the main serp belt

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.
