I have a 2024 3500 AT4 with the 6.6L gas and have always noticed a whine/turbo-like noise from the engine under light throttle around 2000 RPMs while going around 35 mph. Multiple people riding with me have commented that it sounds like I have a turbo. Is this normal on these engines, or is it something I should look into?

 

Here's a short video with the sound starting a few seconds in (best heard with headphones):

Planetary gear sets are particularly noisy because of the sympathetic vibration of multiple gear sets of identical design generating reinforcing noise energy. It’s a common, known issue with helicopte

They did! Sold me a NEW 2024 for only a little more than the pre-owned 2024 I bought with the transmission issue. All's well that ends well! 😀

I'm not sure if it's the same noise on yours but mine has, what I would call, a whine I can hear at idle and under acceleration.   It drove me nuts at first and noticed it would go away when I turned off the A/C.  I was told it was normal and actually don't even notice it anymore now that I have over 10k on the truck.

Totally normal! At least one other thread on this as well. 

Good to know! I did some searching and couldn't find anything—do you happen to have a link to the thread?

It's probably caused when the fan clutch is engaged, it can create a turbo wind noise.

So I did some more scientific testing on this (duct taped my phone in the engine compartment and under the truck near the transmission), and I'm almost certain this noise is coming from the transmission. When the camera was in the engine compartment you can only faintly make out the noise at certain points, but when it's under the truck you can hear it clearly. It seems to happen most noticeably in 4th-6th gears under light load. In doing research, it seems like the 10L80 in the GM/Ford 1/2 tons make a similar noise and dealers are saying it's "characteristic" of the 10-speed. I'm not sure if the same would apply to the 10L1000 in the HDs. I don't know if this is just something I should live with or at least take to the dealer to document it and have them claim it's "normal", because the truck otherwise drives/shifts fine.

Hi all, I just bought a 2024 Silverado 2500 6.6 Allison gas with 11,000 miles. It's making a high-pitched whining sound at lower RPMs when accelerating/decelerating. It's hard to explain, but my wife and friend immediately noticed when they got in the truck. 

Hard to say if it's the same noise the OP had—I know in my case, the sound is way less clear on the recording than it is in person. You can listen to mine here (it's most noticeable between 3-5 seconds). 

 

Also, I went to the Chevy dealership yesterday and drove both a 2500 and 3500 with the Allison gas transmission. Neither sounded like my truck. They were both relatively quiet (for 3/4 and 1-ton trucks, at least) and smooth. This tells me the sound is not normal. It's so loud and irritating that I would not keep this truck if they can't fix it. 

OP: did you ever figure out the source of the sound? Was the dealer able to diagnose and fix it?

My buddy's 2024 gasser makes the same noise and I've had a few other people tell me theirs does that as well, so I've just chalked it up to normal transmission noise. It drives and shifts fine, so I'm just not gonna let it bother me for now.

Well, in my case, the noise was not normal. The service department called yesterday and said it's a major problem with the transmission. Apparently, there's a service bulletin out about it. Service has to open a claim and call GM next week, and GM will walk them through exactly what needs to be done. 

 

I bought this as a pre-owned 2024 vehicle with 11k miles last Saturday. The truck had this issue when it was delivered to me, so they obviously missed it during the pre-sale inspection. It also had two recall services that hadn't been performed. The silver lining is the dealership may give me a new 2024 truck with similar specs for about the same price, because they know they messed up.

Sorry to hear. Sounds like the dealer will take care of you, so hopefully they follow through!

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
