ANYONE ELSE HEARING LIKE A BUFFERING SOUND? MAKES YOUR EARS FEEL LIKE THE WINDOW IS DOWN, BUT IT IS NOT? I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY HEARD IT. WE GOT IN ANOTHER 2015 YUKON XL AND HEARD THE

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?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.

      That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?

      I went to the county a few years back to dispute my property taxes. To do that I hired an appraiser and a lawyer. The County Assessor wished to argue that the homes in my neighborhood the appraiser used were all 'distressed properties" and not representative of the "Market Average".    My response was," Of the 50 homes in our subdivision 43 of them were "distressed properties" under bank foreclosure and as such "Distressed IS the market". Lawyer about choked on his coffee and handed the Assessor the 'receipts'.    I won that case on the evidence provided by the Lawyer and the Appraiser.    We have the same thing going on here. My statements were based on the GOVERNMENTS NATIONAL DATA and yours on local markets in areas of your interest. They are both correct....   Thing is, this divergence was based on NATIONAL and not on LOCAL. I think you even understand that. But like you said, we are both stubborn and hardheaded.    I do not see any advantage to disengagement.  But that said we can step back to compose ourselves.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Trust me I appreciate the comments and concerns. It's what I was looking for to help me evaluate the situation and what I want to do. I have decided to move forward with the BORA hubcentric slip on 3/8" (.375") with the extended lugs nuts. Fedex says they should be here Monday :). Meanwhile, the dealer got the remote start and Patriot spray in bed liner done over the last couple of days. Also, I installed an inline stop/start eliminator today. Starts back up in what whatever mode you shut it off in, so you don't have to hit the button every time you fire up.
