Hi ,truck had a squeaky pulley needed changing so I took it in and also told dealer I’d been hearing wind noise in cab of the truck roof close to the windshield over head lighting console  . Well they fixed pulley have truck back but forgot check the wind noise , I reminded them about noise so they say they look at it . My . Truck has sunroof but it’s never been used but couple times a year ago . So sunroof has been closed ,is closed 99percent time and  I’m still hearing wind noise . If radio is turned down you hear  noise .  Dealer suggested to  me it could have been coming from the sunroof so dealer cleaned gasket around sunroof said dirt grime gets in there sometimes doesnt allow it to seal and aught to be okay . Dealer did not go take truck for a ride to hear noise . Just cleaned gasket on sunroof gave truck back .when I left , after the dealer cleaned it that same day  It was and still  is making  wind noise  . I didn’t go back in there cause it was end of day and I had already spent most day waiting on that pulley part to be fixed .i know I need to take it back  ..this noise happens when you drive the truck ,Is anyone else hearing wind noise in their truck In area of roof near the overhead console close to windshield ? I really don’t think it’s possible that it’s the sunroof , it seems to be coming from windshield area by the mirror and over head lighting console . Im looking for input , I’m a woman and I do not know nothing about this truck  but I can know what I hear .

I'm having difficulty following your post.  It's not the grammar nazi in me, but the fact that's it very choppy and appears to be missing some words.  There's a difference between "helping your uncle jack off a horse", and "Helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse".  What i got from your post is you have a wind noise.  You don't think it's the sunroof.  Have you stood in the bed of your truck, or on the door sills to examine the roof lines?  Is the shark fin antenna loose?  Does the sunroof gasket appear to stick up or down excessively with the sunroof closed, as opposed to flush.  Have you examined the windshield by pouring water on the top of it to see if water runs down the inside of the window?  None of this has to do with being a man or woman.  It's just a matter of using your brain and trying to figure it out.  The dealership isn't always the best source for getting your truck fixed.  You are.  They rely on you to tell them what's wrong, and do their best to remedy the issue.  The more time they spend on it the more it'll cost you.  How much do you really want to spend?

If I may tag along with Transients thought process...

 

Does it make the sound you're referring to, all of the time? At all speeds? Driving "into" a strong wind?

 

I notice if'n the wind is blowing out of the North, lets say 40mph, and I'm traveling West bound, the drivers upper corner has a wind noise. East bound, no noise.

Case in point why vehicles with sun/moon roofs are less desirable.

 

Has the windshield been replaced? (look in the lower corner for a "GM" insignia")

There's a difference between "helping your uncle jack off a horse", and "Helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse".

 

I know there is a point to this quote (guess it really depends on the forum), just not sure if it is one, I would toss out to a lady asking for help😬😮

The point is, I had trouble understanding what he/she's trying to convey to us.  Man, woman, purple alien that speaks English, it doesn't matter.  I would've said the same thing regardless.  I only hope what I said regarding her vehicle is in line with what she was posting about.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
