2003? original shocks,I assume.
Could be a loose shock bolt,loose sway bar bushing or end link bushing
Is the tail pipe touching the frame?
When it cools,wiggle the tail pipe forcefully up and down.
Crawl under there and inspect both rear shock absorber mounts and sway bar bushings and mounting bolts.
if it LOOKS good,have someone bounce the rear of the truck when you are nearby. Hear the noise? left side or right side?

SOURCE: 2004 yukon xl denali self-leveling rear air shocks

There's a lever that connects the driver-side rear shock to the Automatic Level Control module (the air compressor and the ride-height sensor). Disconnect the lever from the shock and rotate it up and hold it. The compressor should kick in when you hold in place after a few seconds. If it doesn't kick in, make sure your fuses and relays are good. Otherwise, you may have a failed ALC module/burned out air compressor (from the shocks being shot). After you replace the shocks (and after you recouped from the heart attack you had when you shelled out $500+ for each shock), replace the ALC module/compressor (it's all one unit), and test it - it should kick on when you rotate the lever up again.

Figure about $350 for the ALC module from your dealer, and make sure the part numbers match! Your truck came with an upgraded ALC module from the 2001-2004 module, which were prone to water damage.

Good luck!

I don't know if you already fixed it, but I had the same problem on my 03 yukon, TysonRicky is right. In my case it was the blower control module. You can find it right under the glovebox. It cost me close to $100 for a new one, but very easy to replace. Can't even imagine how much it would've cost me if I had a mechanic do it.

Mark your drive shaft coincidenly with the rear axle and tranny. Remove drive shaft. Press out the old u joints and press in the new. You will need a torch for heat and a lot of patience. Have fun!

Why, after hitting a bump in the highway and braking at the same time, did my brakes fail - how can I fix this dangerous situation - my mechanic is baffled?

has your vehicle got ABS braking system ? if so i'd get the OBD codes read if not already done as may be a sensor/switch that is sending an incorrect signal to the brake system after the bump at the same time , there is sometimes a brake limiter valve fitted to the rear suspension ,if your vehicle has this component i'd have that checked as the suspension will obviously rise/fall when going over bumps , let me know how your mechanic responds to these suggestions

2009 yukon denali chime door start to lock and unlock every time i hit a bump, lift gate open light come on

Might need to adjust rear door latch, or could be bad relay or switch. Try pulling/pushing on rear door while closed to see if you can set this off while sitting still.

2007 Yukon Denali XL autoride suspension light comes on intermittently

Would need to know what DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the module for the autoride suspension . Hooking up a professional type scan tool ,looking at input data to the module etc... Looking at a wiring diagram an testing electrical circuit's using a DMM - digital multi-meter . Reading how the system works ,what all involved in making the system work . This is how a professional Tech would go about diagnosing this .

The automatic level control (ALC) system maintains a desired rear suspension position under all types of towing, hauling and loading conditions. The following components are involved in the operation of the ALC system:
• Air line tubing--Pressurized air from the ALC compressor is pumped to each of the rear shocks via air line tubing.
• Air drier--Pressurized air from the compressor is run through a drier containing a moisture absorbing chemical preventing water accumulation in the rear shocks.
• Compressor--Supplies pressurized air to the rear shocks
• Compressor motor relay--The relay supplies battery positive voltage to the ALC compressor motor.
• Pressure sensor--The electronic suspension control module (ESCM) module provides a 5-volt reference and low reference to the ALC pressure sensor. The module receives the signal voltage that is relative to the air pressure applied to the rear shocks.
• ESCM--Controls the ALC system and electronic suspension control (ESC) system and detects failures in both. The module monitors inputs from the position sensors, and pressure sensor to determine when to raise and lower the vehicle to trim height as the vehicle is loaded or unloaded. The module limits pump activation to 255 seconds to prevent thermal damage.
• Exhaust valve--An electric solenoid activated by the ESCM to vent air pressure from the rear shocks.
• Left and right rear suspension position sensors--The module provides a 5-volt reference and low reference to all 4 of the body-to-wheel suspension position sensors. The sensors send the ESCM a signal voltage that is relative to the rear suspension ride height
• Left and right rear shock absorbers with internal air chambers and dampers--Dampens the rear suspension and maintains trim height depending on the air pressure applied.

Problem with locks locking and unlocking while driving

Look for a chaffed wire in the hinge area of the driver's door. That's the most likely place to find a short or break
