PowerBoost Cold Start Idle Noise

[Jerry Can]

I used the remote start on my powerboost today (-20C weather), and came outside to find my truck making a loud and terrible noise (I thought something was about to catastrophically fail). The sound seems to be coming from underneath the truck, and went away after the engine warmed up and shut off. Any idea where this might be coming from?

Good morning! Could you please send over a private message with your VIN so I can look into your trucks starting concerns on my end?

My Powerboost sounded exactly the same when I started mine in an outside temperature of zero F. I said to myself it sounds like a diesel!
It went away after idling a few minutes.

Hello, I have the exact same noise. Do you know what is causing this noise?

I’ve experienced this with mine as well on a very cold morning a few weeks back. It has not repeated since. But that does not mean there isn’t a problem.
