New to the forum and noticed I asked this on a thread that was almost a year old so thought I would start a new.

I just bought a 2024 2500hd 6.6l gas Silverado Custom.  I hear a buzzing type of noise coming from behind the dash.  Sounds like a grounding type of static that fluctuates with the engine rpm.  Does not matter if engine is hot or cold.  Loud enough to drown out engine noise while driving.  Dealer has no idea.

Anyone have this issue with your custom and if so have you got a fix?

Well, 77 views and no responses so I guess this shows that it is not  normal.  Now to figure out where it is coming from.

I'd have said it might be the power steering pump, but that's usually only noticeable at idle and goes away under throttle. Does it sound like a vibration? Maybe some loose trim rattling around?

Thanks for the reply.  No it fluctuates with the rpms of the motor.  Can replicate it in park reving the engine.  Tried using a stethoscope on the steering pump and AC along with the altenator and all was good.  Sitting in truck I hear it best above cluster guages.  I do not have digital guages.  Dealer doesn't think it is the stepper motors behind dash.

Would a torque converter make this noise?

Hi just saw this. I have a 2025 2500 6.6 L8T custom also, my truck makes the same noise you describe. Almost like a bad ground on a stereo through the speakers. I’ve had passengers ask if I had a turbo or supercharger. I only have 1400 miles and haven’t taken it in yet. I also have a bad vibration at around 4k rpm. Pretty annoying ! Did you get it figured out? Thanks in advance, Mike

2026 HD2500 ZRT Gasser with same noise. Have been loyal to GM but this will be the last if they can’t fix it. Sounds like a toy drill motor in the dash at lower RPMs (<40 mph) until other noise drowns it out. Cannot hear it outside. Taking mine to dealer next month with only 700 miles on it. Let me know if anyone else has found a corrective action. Thanks.

Check the tightness of the coolant overflow bottle bolts. For many people they loosen (me included) and cause noise in the cab.
 

Once I tightened them i haven’t heard anything since.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
