I took mine in today for the third visit for the engine whine.  Some older mechanic who said he’s been in the business for a long time rode with me to hear the whining.  He tried to tell me he couldn’t hear the noise.  I said really! You don’t hear what sounds like a fire engine siren in the distance coming from the front of the truck? Then he proceeded to tell me that he was deaf in his left ear.  I laughed and said that would be my luck! Then he eventually heard it and drove it himself to see if he could feel the degradation of power as well.  He said he didn’t know how it felt when it was new so he wanted to test drive another one from the sales lot.  Not sure where that ended up because I had to get to work so I left it.  They gave me a loaner.  This visit here will take me into the time window for the lemon law. I already spoke with an attorney and started the process.

Good luck. Keep me posted cause im also curious how yours will play out. Still waiting to hear from my lawyer

It’s not just in your head.  My 6.2 Trail Boss has the 18” wheels with the GY Duratracs but mine used to feel so much more powerful.  Only have 2500 miles on it!

I don’t blame you. I love the truck, just want it fixed.  But I too am getting alittle tired of letting it sit in the shop more than my driveway!

The worst part about it is i loved my truck when i bought it and loved it after ive put some work into it with tint, lift, tires, etc. But now that its been in the shop and just been a PITA for me i lost some of my love for it. 

Looking forward to hearing from my lawyer. 

If you dont wanna post it here send me a private message i wanna know what yours says

 

Also my friends dad had a new silverado with a rear end knock that that they couldn't figure out. They bought his truck back minus $2k my friend said and gave him a new one. Didnt go into much detail but i cant imagine he lost money on it. At this point i wouldnt even take a trade in

I don't hear any knocking, It sounds normal to me. But maybe your picking up on something you can't hear through the video. As far as the power loss goes.. If they did work on the transmission they would have re-programmed or updated the tcm/ecm. Unfortunately these updates are most often are geared towards fuel economy/emissions or part longevity, not performance.

 

My 17 had an update done at one point to address low speed shifting problems. The update helped shifting slightly, but the truck didn't have the same fire it did before.

 

They said they re-built the transmission? Do you have the work order with parts/service performed?

I think it more sounds like a lower end mettalic ticking to me than a knock. Prior to the transmission repair i could hear the knock and the ticking. But either way BOTH are new compared to what its been doing the last 11k miles. 

 

I thought about that with the tranny. Asking if they can reflash it to see if that helps maybe. 

 

I still want to have them let me drive another trail boss to evaluate for myself. Cause thats the only piece of mind ill have. It never made any noise (the engine) than all of a sudden Started to make noise. 

 

I dont have the service record with me. But i know they replaced a bunch of seals and they broke 3 manifold bolts off in the process-_-

Any updates? I know it's been months but I got a 2020 6.2L LT Trail boss couple months back and I am currently having the whining noise issue.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
