thank you arrie for the reply. Just got back from the tire shop. The manager told me it wasn't his fault and so they aren't liable for it. I asked for the district manager's information and walked out of the store. I'll be escalating this issue to the top of the house until it gets resolved. I just cannot believe customer service this days. thanks again..

"...wasn't his fault?" Gee, who's fault does he think it should be in that case--yours? Unless there's more to your story than you're letting on--which I don't think it to be the case--it should be cut-and-dried. His shop broke the sensor...his shop should pay for it. What an idiot...

I escalated my issue upto the district manager after I refused to get into any kind of conversation with the store manager. The district manager acknowlodged that these kind of issues have happened before and they have standard procedures to handle this. He was wondering why the shop manager didn't follow protocol. I got a call this morning from the tire shop manager stating that the tire sensor was installed and my tire is ready to picked up. I also got a call from the district manager saying that everything should be fixed and let him know if i had any questions.
one thing surprised about is that they were able to find me a sensor over the weekend..i guess i'll find out when i pick the tire up.

How are you going to see if the sensor in the tire you are going to pick-up is a working one?
 
You will need to do the re-learn procedure for the pressure transmitters to verify that the sensor in that tire they replaced is a working one. This means that you place the tire close to your vehicle and start the re-learn procedure. During this procedure you will let some air out of each tire in certain order and move to next tire as you hear a signal from the horn of the vehicle.
 
As you go through the tires you let air out of the extra tire in place of one of the tires mounted on the vehicle. It is best if you let air out first from that extra tire. If the sensor does not work you will not get the signal from the horn. This way you don't unnecessarily let air out of the tires on the vehicle.
 
One detail in this is that the sensor's battery must be charged before it can send the signal to the computer. Charging normally is done while vehicle is driven. There is a small ball or something inside the sensor that vibrates during normal driving. This vibrating ball charges the sensor (pietsoelectric?). How to best charge a sensor in a spare tire I don't know. Perhaps just bounce the tire for 10 minutes or so. Or have it installed on the vehicle and go drive a couple of miles. I learned all this when my sensor was replaced and re-learn procedure would not work. I went to drive about 4 miles and after that it worked just fine.
 
If I was you I would insist them to install the tire on the vehicle and go drive a few miles and then return to that shop and do the re-learn procedure while they are watching it (or doing it). That way you all witness the condition of the new sensor they installed in your spare tire.

i tested the sensor in spare wheel and it worked. This would be the last time I bought tires from that store.

02 Yukon SLT 5.3L with "Engine Ping" noise by dcdchau
Nov 10, 2005 (7:35 am)

My 02 Yukon develops this engine ping noise at around 38K miles. I have tried premium gas bought at different gas stations as per service advisor. That did not help. Took it back in service yesterday. They did the TSB 020604023A - Corrosion of the rear bank knock sensor. Remove the rear bank knock sensor. Install the new rear bank knock sensor -
 
The ping is now reduced from severe to a much lower level. It does not ping if I accelerate it gradually ( it did before). But it still pings during hard accelerate.
 
Any solution or advise is much appreciated.

When my van's gas pedal gets sensitive, I clean out the throttle body. My symptoms are a "sticky" throttle that causes you to lurch sharply off from a stop. Once you get moving it's fine. It only happens to me about once a year or so.
 
There are some real wrench turners over in the GMC Yukon Denali Problems discussion, so everyone please double-check there for your pinging and surging.

2002 GMC Yukon XL Knocking Sound while hitting the brakes by jjobev
Nov 13, 2005 (11:18 am)
Reply
I have a 2002 Yukon XL with approx 35K miles. Over the past month or so, I have started to hear a knocking sound coming from the front of the vehicle when I hit the brakes right before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. I seem to notice it more if I am using the brakes on a slight decline, however, it still happens when stopping on a flat surface. When pulling into a parking spot, the sound happens directly prior to stopping. I don't hear anything while driving and using the brakes to slow down and it does not always happen. Any thoughts on this problem? Thank you
