My 2007 GMC Yukon has 120,000 miles. Recently, I noticed that when driving the vehicle, the RPM do not drop, or reset, as the car accelerates. Instead, the faster the car goes, the higher the rpm's go, and it feels as if the car is not changing gears. What could this be?

You have a failed transmission that will have to be
rebuilt or replaced with Reman

The flair in the rpm & gear change issues, should
have been the clue

How does that happen on a 7 year old vehicle ?

You fail to change your transmission & power steering
fluids every three years & those items that should last
15 years & 150,000 or possibly more, are given a death
sentence.

Trans fluid breaks down from heat in about two years &
like all fluids the additive packages are used up

Brake Fluid --every 2 years
Spark Plugs --every 3 years or they wear & stress the
ignition system

Motor Oil-well-you do as you please

I change mine 3 times a year,which is about 4,000
miles
When we worked-four times a year

I have a 2014 vehicle that I got in march
Changed the oil this Monday at 711 miles
WHY- it has been in there 4 months (remember
3 times a year) BUT --i keep my vehicles 18 years

I have one that I have had 30 years

The trans fluid --I will be doing soon
WHY- because I once owned a trans shop
& know what wears & when

Most wear,you ask-yep-the first thousand miles
& this vehicle has NO Filter,just a screen

SOURCE: rear end noise?

This sounds like ring and pinion noise, new bearings and a gear set will cure the problem.

SOURCE: My 1996 GMC Yukon 4x4 transmission will only drive in 1st and 2nd

It will take off from a stop in overdrive but as soon as it shifts into 3rd at about 30 miles per hour it jumps into neutral? If yes, you have a burnt 3/4 clutch. The transmission will need rebulit. Cost of about 1600 dollars.

It is possible that the VSS sensor is faulty or the box is not changing properly. Check the oil condition and if brown and smells burnt then service the transmission. If it has not been serviced before then the mileage certainly indicates that it is well overdue.

What causes chugging?

Sounds like bad fuel, clogged/blocked fuel filter, air filter maint. of the vehicle needed (may need tune up) or internal engine problems. You have to start with the basics. How many miles, how well was the vehicle maintained etc. Cars usually don't just break with no notice.

I have a high pitched whine when accelerating coming from behind the area where the timing chain is. took it to a garage and they didn't know what it might be. any ideas? the vehicle has over 120,000...

If the noise started after the new belt was installed then chances are the timing belt is too tight. This "singing" would be noticeable immediately and will change pitch with rpm's. If this is not the case then it could be a bearing on one of the timing belt idler pullies.

Rough idle / varying oil pressure when accelerating

Ok not to keen on newer vehicles actually prefer the carburated ones, but oil pressure is supposed increase on your gauge when accelerating. If it wasn't going up before and just staying at 40 the needle might have been stuck. But idle should be 40 lbs and when you work the moter (reving or driving down the road) the guage should show an increase for every 1000 rpm above idle. Second if you can get a hand held scanner (bought mine off ebay for $30) check for any codes in your computer you will probably find that you either have a bank running wrong or some other sensor that needs to be changed. I'd go with getting my own scanner it saves alot of money and time, garages make their money here.
