Yo guys, what does this noise sound like to you? Bad alternator?

Not sure what to make of it other than not right.
I wouldn't think alternator could make that sound, but could be wrong.

Is the fan shroud hitting the fan, or something in that area that shouldn't be?
I'm grasping at straws, but that sounds nasty.
Also does it change with engine RPM?
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Seems to go away when not at idle, i.e. under load. I really hope it's something in the serpentine system and not the valve train

I had a tensioner pulley that the bearings went out on once on a 7.3L diesel. Not sure how the belt stayed on even but other than a similar noise the only sign was the alternator light coming on once every so often. Under load it didn't make as much noise. Basically there was no longer a bearing and the head of bolt / washer kept the pulley kinda on but cocked at a weird angle.

That sounds like a rocker arm or tappet to me. Possibly an injector. Going out on a limb, I'd put my money on valvetrain.

I wouldn't bet on it being a serpentine belt, but out of curiosity, did you spill any antifreeze on it recently?

I would think if it was an injector or something in the valve train, it would make noise at a set frequency given static rpm...

Seized. When that happens, it doesn't "ratchet" to absorb the belt harmonics.

One way to test. Pull the belt and start it.

Pull the belt to check but you just did an oil change, right?

Very common to the duramax is a click that at first seems to be from the valve train, but it is from the oil system, like a cavatation or bubble. Mine sounds like that almost all the time. Check in a wheel well it will be louder.

Pull the belt the oil and fuel pump runs off the crank/cam anyway.

Otherwise I would agree that it sounds like a tappet or rocker arm.

Like JR said, pull the belt off and start it up.
While it's off you can check idlers, alternator etc for ugly bearings.
If it's still there then it's something inside.

Hoping for the best for ya.

If it turns out being the alternator, just make sure the replacement comes with that special pulley. I've seen some rebuilders use a conventional pulley to keep costs down.

That was the very noise I got a few weeks before I lost the idler pulley when I was camping over thanksgiving weekend. careful there Kyle. could have been unrelated but after replacing the pulley the noise was gone.

As Tate experienced, mine did the same thing on our LB7 we had years back. Driving down the highway that tick started and on mine it didn't last long, as it then seized and burnt through the belt. Thankfully I was able to make it into a gas station until my wife could bring me parts.

Any update on this?  Otherwise I was going to suggest removing the A/C compressor belt as well when you remove the main belt.  I had the A/C belt tensioner fail and lock up once.

Pretty sure it's the alternator. Going into the shop for that, and some other work, tomorrow. Alternator is covered under my warranty, so I didn't want to mess with it... and I haven't have time frankly.

Going into Plateau Diesel in Enumclaw tomorrow, and they'll have it till next Weds when I get back from California.

Then when that gets all wrapped up, I'll find a day to dedicate to the truck in the garage, and do some maintenance, hang the new exhaust, put the new Curt hitch on, etc.

Who is your extended warranty through Kyle? Just bought my wife a used Acadia and got the extended warranty plan through Allstate, but now i'm not so sure that I got a good deal...  Haven't even seen the new car in 10 days. Had it for a day then took it to their shop to get some things looked at. Then service told me over the phone that I only have the "bronze plan" and that is power train only, not the B2B that I thought I was getting.

Hmm... I'll have to see if my CU offers that. I likely will not be keeping the Allstate plan if it does not cover what they told me it covers. Feeling like I was bait and switched.

Have to be careful about that, from what i've read... I went back and forth because of that, but our CU told us that the ones they offered were actually pretty good. Guess i'll find out when i submit the bill to them for the alternator (if that's what it ends up  being)

Thanks! I've driven it a few times.... That stretch between Sacramento and Burbank is killer at night... And I'm one of the types that gets real sleepy when driving at night.

Story time... Was cruising down the freeway on that long boring stretch of I-5 on my way down once, in my old Tahoe, think I had the cruise at 90, maybe a smidge over. Dead of night, no lights anywhere. Then WHAM out of nowhere a Highway Patrol is on me, passes me and pulls in front of me in the right lane. Then starts braking to slow me down to about 80, then took off like a rocket. Was pretty cool that he just slowed me down versus stop me, but startled the crap out of me. Literally have no idea where he came from. Might as well have been a UFO at the time haha

I have to say I have been pulled over several times in CA by the CHiPs. They rarely used radar or laser. They would just sneak up behind you and pace you. You would never even know they were there. They are the best at that! It wouldn't surprise me if he caught up to you without his headlights on and then did his move.  8)

Supposed to be 80 today... Just miserable!




Now if I could just kick this cold! Little heat and a fruit smoothie should help :D

Way to nice for a DOT, but sure the wife deserves it.

This is the view from the kitchen sink basically. From back porch just outside the window.

Yes wife deserves a nice break. She's been keeping the house up, coordinating lots of stuff while I've been MIA working way too much. Some nights she brings me dinner in my office and sits and eats with me at my desk :)

All work and no play RIGHT?

Should get to 80 here also and no wind today. Been a very windy month here in Bullhead City AZ

drove past there the other day coming back from LA. I can officially say I've seen every mile of HWY 40..

Well I heard back from the shop, turns out it was the alternator. So getting a OEM replacement, and it's covered by my warranty too.

While its in there I'm having them clean my cooling stack and service the cooling system as well. Price was good, so glad I don't have to do that.

Got the EGT probe stuck in the pass manifold also.

And... Well I just asked them to install my new downpipe too. Call me lazy if ya want lol.

Once I get it back I will try to find a day soon to do some maintenance and hang the new 4" exhaust, and the new hitch
