Yes, it could. Make sure its not the cause before you tackle wiring and the compressor. Good Luck.

Hauling frequent cargo

I'm considering purchasing a new yukon denali but I'm concerned about possible issues with the autoride suspension. I pickup about 600-800lbs of business supplies every week. The drive is a only a short distance but am I setting myself up for persistant autoride suspension issues?

In my opinion, as long as you are within the allowed carrying weight of your vehicle they should be fine, which is true for any suspension system OEM or aftermarket. Just keep in mind, when your vehicle is carrying a heavy load, speed and road condition can most certainly contribute to the ware & tare of your suspension. FYI, I had a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser, it suppose to be bullet-proof, right? Well, let me just say that my TLC has been a perfect SUV until I had to trade it in for my current 2007 Yukon Denali. Nothing is perfect, but, so far my 07 Denali has been problem free other than an initial recall to fix the battery drain issue.

07 Denali-shocks/struts

Wondering how long the shocks, rear pinion seal/shaft, and fronts struts should last on this vehicle? I have 83,000kms which are all to and from my 3 kids sports. I tow a tandem jet ski trailer on occasion. I took it in to the dealership for it's semi annual servicing, and have the brakes done(told back in June that they would need to be done this fall) and was absolutely horrified to find out that apparently my shocks were cracked and leaking and needed to be replaced. They also said that the rear pinion seal was leaking. A $2.75 part cost $240. in labour! My total bill by the time everything was fixed, $2600. I've only had this vehicle for 3 1/2 years!
I phoned GM and the service person said she would look into this and get back to me, but never has.
This vehicle has been in for recalls, and warranty work since the day I got it, on a very regular basis, and as much as I love it, I'm really getting fed up.  ?
Hopefully someone can enlighten me on the life expectancy on shocks.

The humming sound is coming from your on-board compressor, a part of your auto leveling system. You are absolutely correct. The compressor should turn ON for several seconds when the ignition is turned on or started your engine. Unless the load to your vehicle increases, otherwise, in my case, I have not observed/noticed it ever comes on again until the next time I turned the ignition on. If your on-board compressor turns-on/off every so often when the ignition remained on or engine running without any increase to the load, then that may be a sign of a leak in the auto leveling system. The compressor is most likely located behind the driver-side rear wheel wall, mounted on the outer side of the H frame, there should be a shield around the compressor to keep most of the road debris away from the compressor as well as keeping certain amount of the humming noise within... check to make sure the shield is not coming apart/off...

How long shocks/struts last, that in my opinion depend on a combination of driving style, road conditions and how much load you carry using your vehicle... As far as the pinion seal, I have seen some lasted the live of a vehicle, while some with minor sippage (i.e. wet appearance around the outer seal area), and for some unlucky owners had to replace the seal within 10K miles. Double check with your dealership, I thought with the exception of tires, brakes, shocks, otherwise, the pinion seal may be covered under the powertrain warranty for 7 years or so...???

I had the work done at the dealership, and I even phoned GM Canada directly, and both said that the repairs were not part of the warranty.
Thanks for your reply.
