My 15 laramie 5.7 has developed a loud whine during cold startup when bitter cold out. Started doing it a few weeks ago and only does it when its bitter cold such as 15 degrees or below only on a cold start. It only lasts for 10-20 seconds then goes away. I noticed it doesn't when its moderately cold such as 32 or warmer. I can hear it easily above my exhaust and I have a muffler delete on my duels. I don't know if its a belt issue ect....

Did you guys figure anything out on this from the dealer? I just picked up a 14 hemi that whines all the time hot or cold. Keep reading about oil pumps that lead to cam and lifter changes or new engines. The dealer told me they didn't know what it was and to drive it till it got worse

My 2012 did that whine too. I replaced the Serpentine belt while I redid the manifold tick and it went away.

How big of a job was that? That whine is starting to get to me and I might attempt to fix it before winter gets here.
