@Doodle beautiful truck! I have the same fan-like noise behind the dash. I've noticed only when the ac is on. I had it in my 21 GMC as well?

 

Also, have you noticed the allison transmission has a little whine to it? Lmk what the dealer says on your fan noise. I just turned 1k miles on the odometer so I'm changing the oil this weekend and towing next weekend. 

 

 

 

 

I do definitely notice some “whine” with the the new Allison.  Nothing annoying, but it’s there.  I finally got the pickup to the dealer today to diagnose that “noise”.  The tech could hear what talking about, although faint, and went to his computer to check any TSB’s.  About five minutes later came back with a document that pretty much to a tee summed up what I was experiencing.  It was PIT5544G for those that want the specifics.  

 

Some customers may comment on a hydraulic rush or flow type noise from the power steering gear.  The noise is most noticeable in the cab at idle, with all accessories off.

 

It only affects vehicles with RPO code NV8.  Basically it’s noise from the Active Hydraulic Assist Power Steering system.  So GM considers this “normal”.  So I don’t really care to hear it but it is what it is I guess.  You only hear it in park or idling with the radio and HVAC off so I guess it’s not a huge deal.  This L8T is so quiet I imagine on the diesel you’d never even hear it.  But so far thats the only issue I’ve had and thats pretty minor in the scheme of things.  Really loving this new platform.

The beauty of the 10 spd coupled to the 6.6 gasser is that its the lowest torque/horsepower application for the 10 spd. The issues I have read about with the 10spd have mostly centered around people a

Also, this good news - it means Jettech’s new truck will come relatively fast once he orders it!

Appreciate the info on the noise! One of those things I guess we just have to put up with. Doesn't help they made these trucks sooooo quiet 🤣

Had a 2020, 2022 and now 2023 and they all had that noise......I figured it was normal and from power steering as nothing felt weird but all my trucks had and have that noise....

Nice truck! I have the exact same truck and noticed the exact same noise you're describing at idle. I also came up with the same conclusion regarding the hydraulic steering. With the windows down or radio on I don't really hear it, but it's definitely an annoyance. I'm coming from two Tundras before this truck and have noticed GM says a lot of things are "normal" that I'm not used to with Toyotas 😁.

Just got back from a 900 mile roundtrip (unloaded) with the new GMC.  Running anywhere from 69-80 depending upon which highway I was running on.  Averaged about 15.2 mpg which I was pretty happy with overall.  Still at less than 2500 miles so might get better in time.  I think if I ran 65 this thing would get 17-18 pretty easy.  Amazing for a pickup that weighs in at about 7500 lbs and is way in the air with 20" wheels.  I was really impressed with how well the transmission keeps the 6.6 in the powerband.  It cruises effortlessly on the interstate and I can pass with ease with just a blip of the throttle.  The 6 speed had no issues either, but you can tell this transmission is just more refined and in tune with what the engine is doing.  The more I drive this thing the more impressed I am with it.  I think if GM ever came out with something like a 7.0L gas with 450-475 hp and 500 tq  with this 10 speed, there really wouldn't be a big reason to get a diesel unless you were towing heavy all the time.  The 6.6 gas is great but I just think they would grab a big chunk of market share if they had something with just a touch more power.  But then I'd probably just say "I wish they made 500 hp" so it probably wouldn't matter, lol.

I'm about 700 miles into a 4000 mile tow with my new gasser, and I agree.  This thing could use more power.  I'm towing about 8000 lb travel trailer and doing about 70 MPH.  It downshifts far more than I expected it would to maintain speed.  Not revving like my old 5.3L did with the same load, but there have been several times I didn't expect it to need to make 4000+ RPM and it did.  Seems the Allison in this truck likes to down shift one more gear than is necessary when it senses a load.  I'm hoping it just needs to learn a bit.  Plus, the truck only has about 1200 miles on it so hoping things continue to loosen up.

 

Surprising mileage though.  Getting about 8.2MPG.  That's climbing up over the Mogollon Rim in AZ, through NM, into TX and OK with some wicked crosswinds.

Is that hand calculated mileage or according to the truck computer?

 The computer actually read 15.1. The 15.2 was hand calculated.  I’ve never had a GM read low. Always at least a half mile or more optimistic.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
