Yeah, that sounds worse. Mine was never that bad. Cold and very unhappy.

Yeah, sounds like hydrostatic transmission whine on some of the landscaping equipment I've operated (Toro Dingo, Jacobson, etc) so I would suspect either water pump or power steering pump... something working with fluid.Sounds like P/S pump howl, I've heard transmission make that noise when the fluid was low, or the front pump was going out, Its defiantly rotational.
Hey Andrew...I've got a 2017...mine sounds (and always has) exactly the same on cold winter starts. I've had no issues with it...its perfectly normal for the 6.4's....I'm now going in to my 7th year of ownership with zero issues. So all of that is to say....I wouldn't worry about it....I see you are doing all the right things...you've got it plugged in...by the way, for reference, I live in Calgary Alberta...not quite as cold as you guys get...but I've had my share of -35C mornings....Hope that helps put your mind at ease
If its a loud screeching sound you need to check that your belt tensioner is working correctly, and check the belt itself in case it was damaged by road debris. Also, be certain to take it back to the dealer when its really cold. Then if they still tell you they can't find anything, be certain that they recorded your concerns on the service invoice in detail. If anything fails after the warranty is up you can point to that to get it covered.It usually sounds like a loud screeching noise
Well, that’s good to know. I had a full inspection in November and the belts were fine then. But it’s the extreme cold squeal!Hey Andrew...I've got a 2017...mine sounds (and always has) exactly the same on cold winter starts.

Yes, that’s why it’s going in to the dealer for “just in case” issues happen later on.If it’s a loud screeching sound you need to check that your belt tensioner is working correctly, and check the belt itself in case it was damaged by road debris. Also, be certain to take it back to the dealer when it’s really cold.

I would doubt its the starter, as the noise dosnt begin till after the truck is started.Specific engine components, such as the starter, can be affected by cold temperatures. If the noise is coming from the starter, it may be worth having it inspected to ensure it's functioning correctly.
Take the Taylor Swift CD out...It usually sounds like a loud screeching noise
Mine sound similar just not as loud also does yours on decel have a occasional clunk in the drivetrain?Yeah, that sounds worse. Mine was never that bad. Cold and very unhappy.
