Belt squeal (?) on cold start up on 2024 Chevy 2500HD 6.6L Gasser

Hi guys.

 

I have a 2024 2500 6.6L gasser with the 10 speed now with 6k miles on the odometer.  On cold start up (e.g. before heading to work in the morning, or in the afternoon on the way home), I get what I think is belt squeal.  It lasts for 15-20 seconds, and it sounds much worse when I put it in R or D with my foot on the brake.  (The cab is so well insulated, I have to open my door or roll down the window to hear it.)

 

I’ve had it to the dealer twice.  First time they said they couldn’t replicate the problem, which was ridiculous because it did it when I picked it up.  The second time they replaced the belt and idler pulley, but the problem persists.

 

I’m thinking perhaps something about the belt and pulleys is not aligned correctly??  Or could it be something internal to the transmission??

 

Has anyone successfully solved this problem?

 

Here are a couple of vids.  You can hear it really start when I drop it into R and then disappear 10-15 seconds later.

I am having the same issue with my truck.  It is a 24 2500 with 7k miles and noticed the belt squeal/chirp at around 1000 miles.   The first visit they checked the pulleys and didn’t find an

I got a new starter put in today and no joy.  It still has the same noise.  It might be a little bit quieter.   Back to the drawing board.

Took the truck in again to the dealer.  They are still at a loss of what it is.   Dealership is going to order an intake and see what that does.  They basically told me they will bust out th

Get a mechanics stethoscope and have at it. 

... I had to get one to find a sound that was like a barring going, but i could not find it no mater what i did. I finally thought of the mentioned stethoscope and after a bit of searching with it, found the rear small barring on the alternator was the culprit.

My 2021 with the 6 speed does the exact same thing.  It's only happens when the truck is cold, but is worse when the ambient temp is warmer/hotter... if that makes sense.

 

It does it for 10-15 secs, is worse when in gear, not moving, just like what your videos show.  It goes away quickly when I being to drive off, and never returns until it has sat for several hours.  I was wondering if it was transmission related, but with the same issue in your 10 speed tells me it most likely is not.

Has anyone had any success  determining the squealing sound? Bought the same truck - 2024 Silverado 2500 - 6.6 L Gas engine.  Noticed the squealing start around 500 miles.  We hear it on startup especially once you hold the brake then shift into forward  or reverse - last for about 30 to 45 seconds. However the same sound appears consistently while driving and you hit the pedal to accelerate.      Have had it to the dealership twice which has been no help.

Like i used to say at work. ( it isnt going to get done talking about it ) 

 

  So,,,, why not try some simple things. Like a spray of belt dressing, loosen the belt, turn/shake/feel all the moveable pulleys and such for a possible bad one, or an alternator barring bad. 

 

   I had to buy a mechanics stethoscope to find a sound like a barring going bad. I couldnt find that noise no mater what i did before. I loosened the belt everything moved as it was intended. I started the motor, put that cheap $14 steath on and found the rear barring of my alternator, the small one sounded bad, it moved fine, but after a new alt, noise was gone. 

 

 ( this was on my other pickup, not my new cheby ) By the way, it was a lousy $55 for the core charge on the alt, so i kept it, it cost $42 to fully rebuild the oem that i just gave away a few weeks ago, after not needing it for the last 4 years. So, i should have taken the $55. 

 

And, no noise on my 2024 6.6 gasser WT pickup, so far.

Mine does the same.  Doesn't matter how long it's been running, but if I'm going 40-50 MPH and am on and off the throttle lightly while coasting, I get the same chirping sound.  It goes away with a bit of throttle or a downshift so I don't think it's belt-related.  Was going to take mine in also for this.

Get a mechanics stethoscope and find it or waste time with the dummies at the dealer.

I have the same chirp in the same scenario you described. Did you ever take yours in for it?

dealer pinged me and said I'd need to leave the truck for 25 days before they could look at it... looking for different dealership, so no, haven't had it in.

Consumers can’t help each other if this kind of stuff is kept anonymous.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject o advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.

      It costs $5,250 for the Yukon Nightfall option (black wheels, emblems and illuminated black GMC grill badge). What a "deal".

      I keep getting the above error message on my 25 Sierra.  If I reset the infotainment unit (via the phone hang up button) it will work again for a day or 2.   But I dont want to do have to reset  all the time. Works fine in my 2023 Corvette. On both vehicles I connect wirelessly.   I have a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, phone is up to date.  Any Ideas.  See attached

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      LOL, its thrown a few people because this item is being talked about in the gas part of the HD forum. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put a very brief wording in your profile with the year/GM or Chev/2500 or 3500/ and yes the 6.6 Duramax. When I joined this forum I could see the confusion ensuing for my own truck unless I had it listed with my chosen name handle unless one has a few vehicles that apply to a GM forum as that becomes confusing as well. Anyway its all good, makes for a little forum excitement 😉

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

      Gasgacinch, James Gaskets. Good stuff. High tac to help hold the gasket in place while assembling parts. Fills minor surface imperfections. Slightly elastic. Gasoline / coolant / oil proof. Very handy stuff. Nothing like RTV.
