I have a 2011 Suburban LT (5.3 L Vortex LMG engine) that’s started doing the same thing. Happens when I’m just taking off or I have to accelerate while on the freeway. No check engine or any other warning light comes on, I’ve seen several post with similar issues....several answers....I yet to see what anyone’s solution was.
