Short Knocking/rattling sound when accelerating..? 2015 Yukon Denali

I just bought a pre-owned 2015 Yukon Denali and I Love it! 

I've been waiting for the feel of a big V8 engine with 4 wheel drive so this girl can dirty on any road.. It's beautiful and I'm SO happy to own a sexy Denali.

  I've only had it for two weeks so I'm learning every thing about it with each drive. So far the engine purrs and all gauges read level. It's got 98k mi on it 

so I'm expecting it to have some wear and tear.  So just yesterday morning I pulled away from a stop sign and gave a good rev got up to 50mph in a few sec...

and as I approached a slow zone I took my foot off the gas.. lowered speed to about 25 then gave it a little more gas while going up a slight hill in the road and I hear what sounded like a knocking noise. I took my foot off the gas and the sound went away. So on the drive home where I have to ascend up to about 2200 ft elevation it did it again as I was coasting and had to accelerate from 25 to around 30 mph I kept my foot on the gas this time (engine sounding smooth as silk) and continued uphill about 45mph and the sound went away. It's always a short knocking/rattling sound. Not in the engine but below me, definitely upfront.

 I've got an appt at GMC next week but until then I'd love to figure it out. Not sure what other details you need but any one got any idea?

 

 

Thanks everyone!

I only give it 91 or 93 Octane.

The sound is more a rattle not so much knocking or pinging from the drive shaft not in the engine.....

 

Maybe transfer case or fuel injectors?

I used to be a service writer at Chrysler and PDI for several years.

I can usually pinpoint the sound I am just not use to the "sounds" of my GMC yet.

 

It's currently at the dealership for service cant wait to hear what they find.

OK FOUND OUT WHAT IT IS!

 

  A MISFIRE. APPARENTLY AS THIS DENALI CAN SWITCH BETWEEN V4 OR V8 ,

THE NOISE I WAS HEARING IS A MISFIRE WHEN IT'S TRYING TO SHIFT BETWEEN THE TWO.

SOMETHING COMMON ON THIS YEAR WITH 90K+ MILES.

 

SO MUCH FUN.  MY BEAUTIFUL DENALI I GOT TO DRIVE FOR LESS THAN 2 WEEKS WILL BE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. BUT.. WHILE SHE'S THERE.. I'M HAVING EVERY SINGLE NOOK AND CRANNY LOOKED OVER AND BROUGHT UP TO PAR.  

 

JUST WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ALL ON WHAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH MY NALI  😉

      FS '18 Sierra OEM LED Taillights - Custom Painted!
      By youn1033
      or sale are my set of custom painted, OEM Sierra Denali LED Tail Lights. I had these painted to go on my truck and unfortunately they took so long I had to go a different direction before I got them back.. I have since moved up to a 3/4 diesel and am hoping these can find an owner who will appreciate the time, effort, and $$$ that went into creating them!
       
      These OEM LED Tail Lights are selling for $300 - $500 a piece online, and the cost to have these custom painted Mineral Metallic to match the Denali paint + the lens smoked (lightly, not enough to dim them when lit!) was $700 - looking to get $1,000 including shipping. Can cut a better deal if wanting to pick up in person in the Houston, TX area.
       
      Please reach out for additional pictures, questions, etc. I respond much quicker via text (405) 642-9097
       
      Thanks!

      2008 Yukon XL Drive train Issues.
      By Derick R
      Hello all I'm new to this read forums my entire life when needing help on a issue someone had back in 99. But anyway I have a 2008 Yukon xl 5.3 bought it a few years back quickly realized there was a issue on top of issue. I got screwed and screwed big time. Truck was sold as 168k miles. It was clean nice good looking truck for 4800 bucks. Turns out won't go over 65. We'll we just said screw it and run it for a while until we got our excursion. So now I've been trying to fix it. I need help I've tried refresh at the dealer it sat there for a entire day in a bay with a tech and they couldn't figure it out. So back to the drawing board. Later on tried to trade it in they pulled the carfax trunk our dude swapped the cluster and it was said the last reported mileage was 278k. Well ******. I want to figure out why it will not surpass 65. It has all the gears. Engine has all the power. No limp mode no codes. I have even pulled the cluster and drove it and that didn't change anything. Please help. Thank you. Derick r.
