    OK, I have a new 2018 Offroad which what sounded like to me was the fuel pump running while the engine was shut off. I had used the truck earlier in the day, when I came out to the garage a few hours later I could hear a buzzing/humming sound coming from up under the rear wheel well. I jumped in and turned the truck on for a few seconds and then shut it off. The sound was not there after this "reset".

    I was seconds away from heading off on a two week trip with another vehicle. I wonder if I would have returned to a dead battery? ANyone else having this problem?

    It's not a problem, this is a normal function of the truck.

    What hasn't been modified?
    It’s the emission system keeping fuel vapors from getting out. Happiness after a few hrs on all the trucks
