I've noticed the same squeal on my 2020 6.2. From what I could find out its just "the sound of the 6.2, get used to it".

Kinda embarrassing to have my brand new truck sound like an 89 Oldsmobile on startup though....

Thanks, yes quite embarrassing for sure on a $60k truck when you're trying to show them (friends) upon startup lol.  Another member on the FB Trailboss group said his does the same and sure I'll try and get used to it, but does anyone actually know what the root cause is?

 

Appreciate it!

Sounds like it may be a serpentine belt.  The one on my 5.3 has just been replaced under warranty, it's only got 10k on it.

Was kind of thinking that as well or a pulley, but it doesn't seem to be coming from that area.  Going to take it in next week and see what the stealer says and I'm sure it will be along the lines it just sounds like that, but want to make certain as it's kind of annoying!

I would remove the serpentine belt, then start it up cold and run for a few seconds to see if it still does it.

What squeal?  I don't hear it.  And I've driven 89 Oldsmobiles.. They sounded just fine.  No squeals.

2019 6.2L here with the same squeak.   Sounds like belt/pulley to me.  For those that have it does it also squeak for a shorter amount of time after a stop/start event? Mine does.

Hmm turn your speakers up...goes away at end of the video.  Seems unusual to me...

I did have the speakers all the way up :(  Maybe I'm just tone deaf :(  I'll try again tomorrow.

Any resolution to this from anyone??? I have the same squeal on my 2020 TB 6.2. Like all say, it goes away after about 30 seconds. But it sounds like an old Monte Carlo for the fist 30 seconds. lol.

 

Now that I am seeing it's not just me, I feel slightly better but would still like a fix.

      Most online suppliers and Amazon. All have noted "not for use with Bose speakers".

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
