Replying to: g_gsmith (Dec 22, 2005 7:10 am) Congratulations. We got our 2005 in August.   I can't say I've had that problem. At least they could recreate it on another vehicle. Do you have 2WD or 4WD? Is this happening on dry pavement? Is it while turning or pointed straight? If you park and then go into drive again does it happen, or only after you've gone from Reverse to Drive?   I guess mine makes a little bit of a noise when the steering wheel is totally locked to one side or another, but not when going straight that I've noticed. I'll try again and pay attention today. Replies to this message: g_gsmith (Dec 27, 2005 12:53 pm) stakeout (Dec 28, 2005 3:55 pm) g_gsmith (Dec 31, 2005 8:15 am)

I have a 2004 Yukon XL Denali with a Navigation System. Has there been an up date to the Navigation Disk? If so, where can one be purchased? Replies to this message: tdoh (Jan 04, 2006 10:10 am) dplatt (Jan 31, 2007 11:35 am)

Replying to: isaace (Dec 09, 2005 8:16 pm) Wow!! I own a 2002 Yukon Denali XL and the transmission went out at 44K miles. It cost me $4,600. The second trans started acting up again after about 79K miles, but hasn't quit yet. I really thought that I was the only one with this problem. I had no idea it was this widespread. If you find anyone to help, please let me know about it. Replies to this message: jimbo24 (Jan 17, 2006 9:04 pm)
#3926 of 4072 2006 Yukon XL Denali - Bouncy ride on freeway? by mikesocal Dec 27, 2005 (8:35 am)
Hello,   I went for a test drive last night in an 06 YXL Denali. All of us in the vehicle (me, my son, and the salesman), noticed that upon getting onto the freeway, the vehicle ride had a very noticeable and rhythmic bounciness to it. I had previously test driven both a regular Yukon Denali and a different YXL Denali on surface streets only, and there was no bounciness to either. So this was a new experience.   I called my Dad, who's been a round quite a while (70+), and he said that GM truck frames with long wheel bases are known for having that bounciness to them on concrete freeways. He said that if you have it all loaded down with a full tank, gear, and perhaps a trailer, it goes away. He also said that if you drive it on a blacktop highway/freeway, instead of concrete, the rhythmic bounciness does not occur.   Have any of you experienced this? I tried searching on "bounc" (to catch all forms of the word), and didn't find anything with any answers.   Is there a way of cancelling this bounciness out using any features of the YXL Denali, such as AutoRide? Is that something that needs to be activated? Or is AutoRide always on?   Unfortunately the salesman was absolutely clueless about the Yukon and YXL Denali features. Didn't even know how to use the Navigation, so he couldn't show me its various capabilities. I'll need to find a different dealer.   I like the extra cargo space available in the YXL Denali, and I wanted to give it serious consideration, but that rhythmic bouncing really bothered me. I want to be able to take it on various excursions with or without a trailer and have a comfortable ride.   Please let me know if you have any ideas.   By the way...what's the story on using snow cables (not chains, but cables) with the 20" rims/tires on the Denalis? Any issues?   Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.   Mike Replies to this message: mikesocal (Dec 27, 2005 9:53 pm)

Replying to: ahightower (Dec 22, 2005 7:20 am) Mine is a 2WD. It happens whenever I start the car and speed up to about 20m/h (It even happens when directly moving to D, not just reverse and then move to Drive as I tested). You have to be very careful to be able to hear the buzz noise and keep your car quite, no radio or CD. When you hear it the first time, you will hear it again thereafter even if you turn on the radio. The technician in the dealership said it is some kind of relay noise. It sounds like a releasing of compressed air. Replies to this message: stakeout (Dec 28, 2005 3:55 pm) g_gsmith (Dec 31, 2005 8:15 am)

Replying to: mikesocal (Dec 27, 2005 8:35 am) Well, it must have been either a bad XL suspension, or a bad section of freeway. I took another Yukon XL Denali on a test drive today on the freeway (2 of them actually), and they faired much better. I think I just need to get used to the stiffer suspension of these large SUVs, since I'm used to minivans and sedans.   Thanks.   Mike
#3929 of 4072 Are 18" custom wheels/tires a good compromise? by mikesocal Dec 27, 2005 (11:40 pm)
I'll most likely be purchasing a Denali or XL Denali in the next day or two (looking like XL Denali at this point). I've researched other postings on wheel size and have come to the conclusion that going with the 20" rims/tires is asking for trouble when doing any sort of off roading (I'm just talking unpaved dirt roads, nothing crazy), as well as having more flexibility with snow cables, and handling pot holes without damaging the rims. So, I'll stick with the 17" stock wheels/tires for the purchase.    However, I'm still interested in getting an upgraded wheel/tire via aftermarket that upgrades the look, and that can still handle the unpaved roads, snow cables, pot holes, etc.    Has anyone found a comprise along the lines of an 18" custom wheel/tire rig? If so, is there a good online vendor that you could point me to? I live in Southern California, so I imagine there may be several outfits down here I can visit, but it would be great if I could at least see an online catalog to choose from.    Any help is appreciated.    Thanks.    Mike Replies to this message: tdoh (Jan 04, 2006 10:31 am)

Replying to: g_gsmith (Dec 27, 2005 12:53 pm) have an '04 burban 4wd .. same noise after initial startup .. pull away and 5-10 seconds there it is... I believe that noise is the Stabilitrak system kicking on.. our older '01 burbans.. both mine and my wife's without Stabilitrak didn't do that...
