I've had my 2015 Yukon XL back for 1 day after it was in the shop for over 3 weeks (this time). The buffeting is the exact same, with no improvement whatsoever. I am having 500 cheap business cards p

Hi all,   I created an online survey to better quantify the issues surrounding our trucks. The goal is to get more accurate numbers. The survey is open to *everyone*, including those with no vibra

A reader left an interesting comment in the AutoGuide article - hiring a third party that specializes in Noise and Vibration to diagnose this issue.

 

Does anyone have any idea how much this might cost?

Most of the ones I work with are around $250/hour, but I doubt they would be set up to work on a rolling chassis like this. Those guys usually focus on larger interior spaces like buildings, aircraft, ships, etc. The principal would be the same, but the modeling software would not be set up the same way.

 

As an update on my new one, we took it on our holiday travels and racked up around 800 miles on it. Uneven/broken pavement still results in the booming and buffetting, but it is now transient instead of being there constantly. The 35-50 MPH range is still the worst when it occurs. Highway speeds are, by and large, pretty smooth. Not perfect, but better than the previous car by a long shot.

 

One thing I found interesting is that on my work order from the repair attempts on my last vehicle there is a comment about "calibrating the ANC, found to be in spec." I had thought that only the Denali/LTZ/Escalade has that option, but there must be some lower-end system on the lower trims to try to help the situation.

I know you are aware, but the SWB doesn't guarantee booming/buffeting free. Will be interested to see if you are able to find a SWB that is problem free.

 

 

The Short wheel base 2015-2016 Tahoe's, Yukon's and Escalades ARE JUST AS BAD ! We are on our 3rd brandnew SUV since 9-2014.

2015 Yukon 4x4 SLT = GM goodwill buyback

2015 Escalade swb 4x4 = Ca lemonlaw buyback

2016 Escalade swb 4x4 = opened new GM case file today!

 

The 2016 Still has ALL the booming, buffeting, and droaning noises. Pretty sad when you go out and buy a 20K Scion to drive to work, for the $87,000.00 pisses me off to drive it at all ! Just did a 1400 miles road trip over Christmas, had to stop at the Bose store and buy noise cancelling headphones. The V4 exhaust droaning is so bad on the freeway. And the booming over the smallest pebble in the road is insane......

 

COME ON GM.......BUILD A SUV THAT'S WORTH THE 90K YOUR CHARGING FOR THEM !

Has anyone noticed how much the hood flexes at hwy speeds? The center area of the hood on our 15 XL flexes like a flag blowing in the wind.

Yes, I have noticed that. I'm actually starting to wonder if there is something going on in the front end of these. There are a couple of design "features" GM added to these vehicles. There are braces from the centre of the fender to the cowl that pervious pickups didn't have. And, there is some kind of strut under the dash that ties the firewall to the dash somehow (read that one in the marketing literature).

 

I wonder what would happen if the bolts were loosened for a test drive?

after 2 days driving with new nexen tires and disconnecting the crab mag shocks,the car is so smooth and comfort.

Weird. Early on, I disabled the active suspension (shocks) by pulling the fuse to that system and it did not help the ride, the drone, or the buffeting. The ride did get worse in that the vehicle wallowed thru dips and around corners!

 

Might have to try thus again. How dis you disable just the front shocks?

i didnt pulled the fuse,i disconnected the wires clip in the that controls the mag shocks,just open the hood and u can see it on the right side of the shock,both side(you will get a message in the dash cluster saying service suspension system,i just ordered a set of bilstien 4600 shocks going to install them once they arrived,

I don't really think you should defeat your active suspension. You paid a lot for it. The trucks were tested for thousands and thousands of miles with it before the vehicles were released. All stability control was done with it active. It is supposed to be there working as designed. Defeating it is sort of like to breaking your finger so you don't feel your broken arm.

 

The body should not resonate within the frequency range normally experienced by the vehicle. That is just design 101. Vehicles vibrate if for no other reason because roads are not flat. If the body is resonating, the body is the problem and needs to be addressed.

At the touch-less car wash I notice it when the dryer kicks on. The hood flexes like crazy.

 

Funny, just ran into a guy with a 2015 Suburban LT. GM is buying it back because they can't get rid of the vibration when the truck hits 70 mph. I've read the Cadillac forums and a lot of the Escalades seem to have the same problem.

I owned a gmt900 yukon denali for almost 8 years,the x denali had an autoride shocks and who had this car before knew how it is uncomfortable with high speeds specially over 87mph u feel like riding a horse,at that time i disconnected the autoride shocks and replaced them with normal gas shocks,the sevice manager said it is not safe and the car is designed to with autoride shocks etc etc,but let me bring your attention that the yukon slt and the lt tahoe both has normal gas shocks and they share with denali and escalade same drifetrain and subframe,my brother have mercedes g63 that cost double escalade and he replaced the oe shocks with other comfort shocks and the car run perfect,at the end this is the fix i think it will keep me enjoying and driving this suv.

Uaedenali - You had the dealer fix the bows and differential. Did you pay for the new tires, shocks to replace your disconnected OEM shocks, and V8 to V4 tune? If so, I don't think any of what you did will void your warranty (may want to check on the tune) but you are hitting known problem spots, good for you.

 

Why didn’t you get a smaller wheel to also test? Do you have second row captains and 4x4?

The roof has been fixed twice by different dealers, and both of them did the same service bulletin that GM announced, for new tires I paid, and the tires I am using is half the price of the OE tires cost $600 4 set nexen roadian HP which worth every penny and I love these tires, now for the shocks, I know this dealer more than 12 years and they knew the car has those issues and gm could not have a remedy action so i will do it my self, when i unplugged the mag shocks,i took the service ENG for a ride to the worst road we have and he was so surprised how the car is smooth so i stop the car on the side and showed him what i did, off course he warned me that I shouldn't unplugged and GM wont accept but did gm care about us, for tune,offcourse if GM knew they will void, I don't have second row captains and yes its 4wd.

now for the shocks, ...when i unplugged the mag shocks,i took the service ENG for a ride to the worst road we have and he was so surprised how the car is smooth so i stop the car on the side and showed him what i did..

Read in your posts you only had vibration and droning, no pressure or buffeting? Next time you speak to your tech, ask the question if disengaging the mag shocks equivalent to the ride of the PRS (Premium Ride Suspension). Why buy more shocks if you drove on a bad road and the ride was smooth, just leave them disconnected? What type of work did they do with the differential?

 

Does anyone have pressure and buffeting with the bench second row and no 4x4?

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
