Went to vacuum carpet in Yukon last night and found drivers side floor soaking wet. I lifted up the carpet to dry out and seen a plug missing from floor so Im hoping this is the culprit. Read somewhere there are drain holes that plug up. Does anyone know where they are?

2001 Yukon XL SLT by judgesmells

I have a 168K miles on my Yukon. The vehicle came with a ride stabilizing feature. I have never replaced anything on the suspension. This being my wifes car I do not drive it much, but when I had it loaded with family I noticed for the first time the car not riding level(no comments please). When I use to start the car most of the time there seemed to be a compressor that turned on to level the vehicle, I can not remember the last time I heard this. Any recommendations? I am sure GM will want to replace everything, is there a better fix?

There are a few places you can check:
1. if you have a Sun roof, there is a drain hole at each side front corner, you can only see them from the top/outside when you have the glass opened.
2. In-let vents in the front, below the windshield, quite frequently leafs clog the drain holes in these openings, cause water overflow in to the cabin area...
I would use a garden hose water with amount of water at a time at each area to try and isolate the source of the leak. Good Luck!

The compressor should be located in either left or right rear tire area. The electrical connector from the compressor to the voltage source should be mounted behind the rear bumper (close to the Spare tire). You are correct, the compressor turns ON for the first few seconds after you switched the ignition to ON, then as the ride height reached to a specific level the compressor will stop/OFF. You may want to check the fuse under the dash and also if any relay/more fuse in the engine compartment relay/fuse box (check your owner's manual for location). Good Luck!

Did you ever figure out what the problem was and get it fixed? I was told it was the Transfer case, after dumping $800 in that it is still not fixed.

The noise is from the steering column. There is a kit made to repack the joint in the column.Price to have it done should only be around $150.00

I have a 2008 Denali, we have replaced the battery once in May. The new battery has been dead on five occasions since May. Dealer running tests and giving it back to me each time saying no problems found. Any Ideas short of just suing GM??

This clunk you are talking about, is it the same im experiencing ? a stop I slowly accelerate, release the gas pedal and quickly step on the gas pedal to accelerate then I hear a clunk as if a gear slip or something out of tract and slip back into tract. Any help? 02 Yukon Denali

Interesting timing on your message as we have the exact same problem and have had it for about two years (we have an 07 Yukon XL). Every time we have taken it to the dealership they hook it up to their computer and say that they can't find anything wrong with it and can't replicate the problem during test drives. We're just about to hit the end of our 36k warranty and have noticed the problem getting worse to the point it seems to shift hard, or slip, multiple times while accelerating (especially on hills).
 
My wife finally insisted that the service technician ride with her and they quickly replicated the issue. He said it was a problem with the drivetrain. Well, she just got back from the dealership and is furious with them. Basically, they told her that the problem is that we drive it in "Auto" all the time and that we should always drive in the 2WD setting unless it's winter. We couldn't find anywhere in the Owner's Manual where GMC gives that direction. Anyway, they told her that there's nothing that they could do to fix the problem and that we'll just experience that 'slip' whenever we drive in Auto. I'm going to call GMC when I get home from work. Ugh!
