Large diesel engines, especially those with a lot of torque, can generate this sort of impression, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my GMC Yukon only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting circumstance for us in this content page. The fact that you undergo trembling on your GMC Yukon during your acceleration periods, in this situation you will have to check the condition of several elements because various of elements can be at the source of these vibrations and whether or not you are unlucky a combination of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of parts that can be concerned.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your GMC Yukon is defective, it may generate vibrations that you will suffer when you accelerate at the moment it is activated.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will control the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may disturb the performance of your turbo and make vibrations that you may come to feel during acceleration of your GMC Yukon.

If, on the other hand, you realize that your GMC Yukon vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of components to check:

  • EGR valve: In reality this valve which handles the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and bother the evacuation of exhaust gases which can generate GMC Yukon vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that regulating the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will generate the wrong amount of mixture and thus prevent your engine block from working properly, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running properly.
  • Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is clogged it will not let the fuel pass properly and therefore bother the operation of your GMC Yukon, up to the point of generating vibrations during acceleration.

So be sure to take a look at your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your GMC Yukon to your garage area.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the advantage that it is often easy to access and easy to disassemble/clean. You can always take a look at it and clean it, for this see our content page on cleaning the EGR valve of an GMC Yukon.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very sensitive parts and a few harmful particles may be enough to bother their operation. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a specialist.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, just replace it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will only have to replace it with a new one.
