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.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
