| the denali uses alot electrical components which is almost as bad as having a sound system.i've decided that i will upgrade my alternator to higher amps not voltage.having higher amps allows more power usage.i'm trying to allow the battery to charge without having too much drain. my 2005 denali dies if i dont turn it on for three days.as im driving i can actually see the voltage drop every so often.alternator is working perfect battery is good but like i said maybe the denali requires more amps.i will post and update. | |

My 2005 Yukon Denali drives well except when cruising at constant speed. The vehicle occasionally bucks/shudders repeatedly until I either press down the pedal to accelerate or let off the gas. This happens at low speed as well as on the highway. Not sure if this is a fuel injection or tranny issue. It does not happen all of the time but enough to cause concern. Any help to troubleshoot this problem would be appreciated.

Up until Last week my girl has been great! I have the every now and then turning off and on again by themselves issues But nothing that has kept the vehicle immobile. I always use my remote start and keyfob to enter and lock the car, so I go to get in my car after leaving a store and turn the key and No turn over. No clicking, the radio was still on but the check engine light was on. I call onstar and they send out someone to jump battery, No charge with the jump so its towed to the dealership. Dealership says battery is completely draining and I need it replaced. They also tell me that when they put the new battery in that the care wouldnt turn over and they had to bang on the starter with a hammer and turn the ignition at the same time to get it to start. OK WTF ! Then he tells me Im probably going to need a new Starter soon at $700 + . So today Im out shopping again and the exact thing happens, NO START. A nice nice was in the parking lot and I asked him to please bang on the starter to see if we could get it going. That doesnt work and the battery is FULLY charged. I called the dealership and they say have it towed to them and they will look at it. IM NOT HAPPY and IM not taking it back to them. I remembered a service guy telling me once that the security autostart can shut down the entire car and if it happens it needs to be reset. Manually lock the car, wait ten minutes and open the car with the key not the keyfob. SHE STARTED !!!!! But now Im very confused on what the problem is.... Do I really need a new starter??? Is there a problem with the autostart or security system that killing the car????? The dealership says they cant help me unless the car is having the problem while its there so they can see the code. Well how the heck am I going to accomplish that, I dont know when the car is going to decide to DIE. This is bullcrap and I know the dealership has seen these problems before, Im not the only owner that this has happened to. So frustrating to pay 65K for a vehicle and this BS happens !!!!

My yukon is sitting much lower in the front than what it should be. I switched the front shocks out with top of the line shocks and it raised it very little and the ride in the front is still rough. Should I be looking at the coil springs next? Also, I have always had a squeaking in my front breaks. I have changed the front pads with top of the line ceramic brakes from NAPA and I also put new rotors on the front as well. I still have the squeaking, but I was abe to get rid of the shimmy from the old rotors being warped. I was told that I may want to get shims that fit between the pad and the caliper? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Joe
