2016 Yukon Denali Ringing Noise under mild/moderate acceleration

Here is an update. I now have over 4500 miles. I referenced the video when I took the survey for my new vehicle. GMC Early Response contacted me and setup another appointment with Ewing Buick GMC service department. Much better experience this time. To resolve this, they replaced the fuel feed pipe due to the fuel feed pipe check valve being stuck. This is a known issue for some vehicles and referenced in bulletin PIP9395A. The harsh , annoying ringing/humming heard in the video is gone. I now only hear what is likely the sound of the flapper valve in the exhaust and that is tolerable (as opposed to droning in V4 mode).

 

They also fixed an issue where the plastic part above the rear glass was rubbing when opening and closing by applying a piece of felt. Lastly they adjusted the liftgate to stop a squeek/rattle I've had since just a few thousand miles.

 

Much happier with my Denali now.

I have a 2014 GMC Yukon XL Denali 6.2l with this same type of noise going on. it is intermittent, as it wont do it all the time. Under acceleration it will rattle, ring, as soon as you let off throttle it quits. I have checked numerous items and i am stumped. My exhaust does NOT have the valve assembly by the muffler, so this is not it.

 

Can someone let me know if this bulletin for fuel pipe relate a 2014? Can someone post the bulletin?

 

I am at 30000 miles so i need to get back in to dealer soon. Anyone have any ideas as to what else i can have them look for? As usual they could not find anything the last time it was in.

 

thanks

New member here. I'm having the same ringing in my 2016 Denali. Can someone post PIP9395A? I can't find it in a google search. I'd like to take it to my dealer so they don't tell me it's "normal".

So, after some investigation, I think the correct number is PIP5395A. Can someone that has access to these post it up? Thanks in advance.

 

 

You are correct. The service department typed it wrong on the summary sheet.

-- I'm correcting the previous post with the corrected PIP5395A since I can no longer edit.

HI all, I am close to trying to bring my denali in for this annoying ringing noise.. Mine is 2014 yukon xl with the 6.2l. Does this fuel f line part pertain to the 2014? I want to try and have them look at everything possible as it is intermittent and I am afraid they will not hear it all the time.

 

Anyone got any ideas to give them to check??

I finally got a dealership to figure out my ringing rattle while driving! I am thrilled this truck rides so quiet now. It was a bracket for the vent hose on the top of the transfer case that was bent and loose. The service tech was awesome, he kept on going to look for it and finally found it after a lot of work and test drives.

My 2016 Yukon Denali is exhibiting a ringing noise upon mild to moderate acceleration. I have upload a video to YouTube and added annotations to demonstrate. I first noticed the issue at about 600 miles and it now has 2660 miles at the time of this post.

 

It occurs between 1000 and 3000 RPMs and below 45 mph. Above that I cannot hear it. It only occurs when in gear. Revving in neutral does not produce the sound.

 

I've taken it into Ewing Buick GMC in Plano twice with no resolution. The first time the service advisor rode with me and heard it. The technician rode with me and said he heard nothing abnormal for these engines.

 

The second time, a different technician rode with me. He couldn't hear it. Both techs say these engines make all kinds of noises. This is frustrating because GMC advertises active-noise cancelation and makes it seem like the vehicle is much quieter than it actually is.

 

I've now made this video and it is very evident. It sounds like under load air is ringing through the exhaust. It sounds similar to the resonance created when rubbing wet fingers around the lip of a wine glass. The hotter the air temp, the louder the noise. It was 100 F outside when I took this video.

 

I've ran 93 octane from Top Tier stations since purchase. I've filled up mostly at Shell and Costco (both top tier). I even tried QuickTrip who has "guaranteed gas". It happens regardless.

 

Anyone else have this issue and have you resolved it? Any thoughts on what it might be?

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
