Lowered another yukon. Just like others I've done vibrating issues customer stated are gone. Like I told my service rep here the truck stock design is causing issues. Once lowered the problems are pretty much gone in this case.

 

Ive lowered over 60 new gm suvs with great results

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

Do you have a feel for what part of the lowering is addressing the issues? For example, are you using stiffer springs and shocks? I don't want to lower my truck, heck I'd rather raise is, but if stiffer springs and shocks are part of lowering than the same might work for stock or lifted right height vehicles.

Pinion angle change along with spring change to progressive and overall height of the truck coming down is the combination which helps. On top of that truck hanukes much better

This is probably not something you could do as I am sure you are working to keep up with customer demand but.... if it is possible, would you be able to try changing only the springs, test drive, then shocks, test drive,... just to see if one or the other make a difference?

I use drop spindles nothing changed in front on springs or shocks. Rear oem shocks with shock extenders and just change to progressive lowering spring

Norcal, the car looks great.

 

But most of us bought it because it is a truck that rides well. We use it as a truck for hauling and driving on rough roads where cars may not be able to go. Most of these models are 4 wheel drive. Your lowered car would be high centered on the way to my ranch. Lowering it to that level may be acceptable on California roads but it will never work for rough roads or dirt roads. In most of the United States we have main roads that are paved and many side roads that are not paved with huge pot holes. Your car pictured would fail on those roads.

 

You keep posting your low rider cars but they are only an option for NorCal or SoCal type roads, not the rest of America. Get a clue.

Sorry to hear that. I also level just the rear to front and customers have no issues. This community is fighting to get results and overall gm messed up. Unfortunately lowering the truck is the fix I'm seeing and the people who want to keep the trucks up high..... there's no fix.

 

I'll keep posting my customers trucks that I do and give results.... so hopefully gm can "get a clue" linear springs are hurting this truck.

 

Leveled rear to front guys like also

Well.... is it lowering or changing the spring rate? I'd say changing the spring rate is likely since this is a spring-mass-damper system and if you want to change the resonant frequency you have to change one of those.

 

How can one get a hold of a set of Z71 height progressive rate springs? That applies to a truck with issues would be telling.

you have a liner spring stock. gm didnt make a progressive rate. its not only changing the springs its also the fact that yoru changing the pinion angle as well as how the truck pushes air. for the guys that are keeping stock height your stuck. GM wont fix your trucks and the way the truck was built and being up so high is a issue. my local dealership had 1 of my customers in for weeks at a time. vibrating and ear issues. Did my lowering kit on it (1.5/3 drop which isnt much) and he had no more issues with his. the dealership knows me because of my cars and called me and was like tony what did you do?

 

unfortunitly lowering wont be for everyone. I understand that but i pretty much have more feedback to fix the problem then all these people bringing their trucks to gm for what over a year now.

But, this does bot prove that ride height did it. Can you cut a stock coil and test on a problem vehicle? That would help to see if lowering vs spring rate fixed it.

So you know the trailblazer ss airbags fit inside the rear 15 up gm suvs and even those make the back of the truck ride better. I have tested the tbss bags replacing the oem springs in a 15 and set at oe height it would still shake and once lowered down the airbag the shake is gone 3 inch drop. Once again proving that pinion angle change and vehicle height is the issue

Pinion angle and vehicle height may have helped with vibration in some of your customers trucks, but this alone is not the issue. My truck has been totally stock since Feb 2014 and it never shook or vibrated.

I dropped my unsprung weight big time and noticed a very large improvement in booms/buffets, went from OEM 90lbs to 60lbs; I actually have lifted the front of my truck 1.5" to fit larger tires

UPDATE .....

OK that's my story today with my Yukon 2015 with 7000 km.. i went to my dealer told hem that i have vibration / and buffeting sound > they send the engineer to test it and he notes the problem ( good start :driving: ) >

i shows them the GM document ID :(4204876) IT'S ALSO CALLED #PIT5429 . THEY wounder where i got it ...( from this great site :angel: ).they knew that i did change the tiers already and balance them ..so they said they gonna change the propeller shaft immediately without doing ( Pico Oscilloscope )analyzer test . they order it and i wait a call when they get the part ..this was for vibration problem ..but for the buffeting sound they said this is from the roof bows need be resealing..

now am waiting for the part and will keep u update ..

but am wondering why they decided to fix it and order parts without testing the propeller shaft !!!! i hope that gonna help >> wish me luck guys >>>

 

 

OK ,

hi every one .

UPDATE......

I just got a call from my dealer to try my car after they change the propeller shaft. and resealed the roof bows . it took so long cuz the part delayed . any way i tried it and i was shocked it's a huge different NO vibration at all i went until 135 km .

and for buffeting sound they found one of the three bows is unattached the front one but they did them all , to be honest the sound i think is still there but it's much better 90%.

am glad that they could fix some thing finally i will drive without shaking :driving: .

​and here i want to say something that i was so nervous wen they told my the procedure for the roof and how they will tear every thing down i expect it ganna be mass but it was the conversely it was so clean and professional.

i wish u luck guys .

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.
