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 anything.

 

the dealer has called in for support to the higher ups.

 

The service manager had mentioned they might look into the intake/throttle body for the noise.

 

I asked them if the noise is there with the belt off.  Apparently they didn’t check that out.  If it still makes the noise with the belt off, it might be related to the air intake system.

 

It has been to the dealer twice and they have not come up with a solution.

 

i have a third visit scheduled on the first to replace the driver seat motor and they will investigate further on the squeal.

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

I just picked mine up today from the dealership for the exact same issue . They changed the idler pulley and belt but issue still remains . I’m thinking it’s coming from the transmission . Gonna take it back tomorrow and have them keep working it . Very frustrating since this is a brand new truck and this will be the third time back to the dealer for the same issue . First time they said they could not duplicate it .

I don't think it's belt related given it goes away under engine load and at higher RPMs.  I'm thinking it's:
 

Exhaust leak from a flange somewhere

Valvetrain noise

Injector noise

Mine will go back in on Monday.  The tech did check if the noise was still there with the belt off and it was.

 

Dealership is leaning more towards something with the air flow on the intake is the culprit.

Dealership says it is the starter and have one ordered to change it out.  Apparently it has been more common on the half tons pickups.

 

I will post an update when the starter gets put in.

Did they say how/why the starter makes the noise?  It should be disengaged from the flywheel and just sitting when the truck is running.

Weird... harmonic vibration in the bendix maybe?  Looking forward to the report back!

 

Tempted to throw mine up on the ramps and put my mechanic's stethoscope on the starter.

Mechanic said he listened to the starter with a stethoscope to confirm it.  Maybe it is the same starter as the half tons and has something to do with auto start stop feature?

I noticed yesterday when it was 110f out and my truck was hot, if I'd shut it off, then restart it, it'd only make the noise for a few seconds right after starting... maybe...

Mudmonkey, did the new starter solve the issue?

Mine squeals on cold startup if i press the brake too hard. If anyone has a cold start noise, but not while driving, try less pressure on the pedal.

I am still waiting on a starter to come in.  Dealership is hoping they can get one by the 12th.

 

they tried finding one from another dealership and apparently no one is letting them go if they have one.

I have 2024 6.2L Trailboss making the exact same noise as your video.  Literally identical.  Dealer said they couldnt here it (LOL, I hear it all the time.)  Any solutions I can throw back at them on this?

I can hear the noise every time I give a quick blip of the throttle when it is park.

 

Service department said there is TSB for a starter noise.  I don’t know the TSB number.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

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

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
