    This morning I was working on something in the garage when
    I noticed a buzzing sound coming from the truck. I went under the
    truck and the sound was coming from the fuel tank area.
    I cycled the accessory switch and the sound stopped.
    The truck is 3 days old. so far this only happened once.
    anyone else notice this?

    from the owner's manual.... page 9

    Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine

    Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound
    coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel
    evaporation leakage check and it does not indicate a malfunction.

    ok, thanks for the info.
    this sound lasted for about 8-10 minutes
    before I located it. I just didn't want the battery
    to be run down.
