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.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
