Hey all,

 

Tried searching for similar issue, unable to find anything.

 

Noticed about a month ago, now starting again, my fuel economy would start to drop dramatically and when I hard accelerate there is a very loud air sucking or blowing noise coming from the engine bay. Took it into the dealer to have it inspected and they could not find any issues. Checked all turbo hoses and did find any loose connections or leaks and of course, when they drove it, they could not replicate the sound. Normally when I let off the throttle, my economy goes to 99mpg but when I notice this issue it only goes to about 65mpg max. 

 

Could it be trying to regen the DPF? I don't normally drive more than 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening to and from work. In summer the truck sees a lot more because I am towing a camper hundreds of miles. 

 

Not sure what other information I can provide to the community to explain the issue more but I am concerned that it could lead to more issues. I only have about 7,600 miles on the truck right now.

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

When mine goes into regen the engine sound changes and my fuel economy tanks. I don't notice any weird blowing noise though, so it may or may not be related. If you have an OBDII reader handy, you may be able to pull live data and see soot levels and regen status when it's acting up vs. running normal.

I may be totally oblivious but how do you know when it goes into regen? There is nothing on the DIC showing % or regen that I am aware of.

Sounds like a regen to me.  The only signs are elevated idle in Drive when stopped, and big fuel economy drop.  A full regen should last 10-20 minutes at the most and usually occur once per tank of fuel.  

 

The noise is probably because these engines use a throttle body in the intake that can be manipulated for regen operations.  Normal driving its open all the time.  The throttle blade can close to increase backpressure.

Sadly there isn't anything the truck will display that will let you know when it's in regen, that's why I suggested the reader to be able to see that data.

Thanks for the insight! New to diesel and still learning all of the different noises and fun extras over the gassers. I am guessing that has to be it as it did it on the way home from work last night once up to temp and this morning was back to normal.

I have a reader, but its a bit older. I will have to plug it in and see if it shows all of that data. Otherwise, tempted to get an Edge Insight or something alike. Thanks for the help!

For as often as I'm looking at the trucks data I really need to invest in something like the Edge Insight myself. Then I'd at least be able to save which data points I want to look at instead of scrolling through the laundry list of stuff my reader provides. I like to know what "normal" operation looks like so I can see when something goes wrong or isn't right.

The Generous Mother has decreed that you don't need to know anything!  It would seem to be simple to program a few more parameters into the existing system for display.  I guess they figure it would cause more trouble than they want to deal with from customers worrying too much.  😉

Did you ever find out the cause? My truck is doing the same thing. Only does it under throttle and it sounds like it is on the passenger side. Fuel economy tanked to 10 mpg.

Sounds like a boost leak or exhaust leak.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
