The mats look pretty good and black is the perfect color for my graphite interior. Is there an online store or chain store where I can get them?

I picked my Yukon XL up just before Easter and My dealer in Alhambra, CA didn't know about the $1,000 coupon from GM for past burban problems. Do you know who I could talk to, to get my $1000.00

Thanks.
1) Is this likely to be the best deal out there?
2) How are 2001 owners satisfied with their Tahoes? Any particular problems? Have they been fixed?
3) Are owners satisfied with durability & reliability? Does "integrity" of the vehicle (e.g., freedom from squeaks, rattles) hold up after 15K miles or more?
4) Is build quality and fit-and-finish apt to be better or worse at any particular assembly plant(s)? If so, which ones and is there a way of telling (e.g., from the VIN)?
Many thanks for whatever info. people can provide.
In town with a 6.0 liter, 3.73 rear and a light foot, I get approx 10 mpg and on a 1200 mile trip, I got 14.89 mpg, therefore with the 8.1, and a 4.10 rear while not towing, I expect one would get approx 9 intown and 13 on the road. [are you buying or did you buy for the gas mileage? :-) ]

Try it, you will like it.
('01 Suburban 2500 LT 4WD, Autoclimate, 2nd row captain, 6.0 liter, 3.73 rear, tow package, limited slip, rear audio, 265x70R16 Michelins, Cord lighted running boards, cargo doors) Currently 2600 miles, avg 9.9 mpg town, 14.80 highway
Mine is a 2001 YXL 2500 SLT, 4WD, Indigo Blue, sunroof, not available w/ auto climate because of sunroof, leather seats w/ full feature front buckets(heated, memory, power recline, power lumbar, power side bolsters) rear audio controls, 2nd row bench, 6.0 L, 3.73:1 locking rear end, HD towing pkg, w/ extra trans cooler and trailer wiring, factory running boards, lift gate, cold climate pkg (block heater, and extra insulation on the fire wall) Off Star, 6900 miles, 13.5 MPG city, 16.5-17 MPG highway.
No really big hills, some rolling land here and there, so no real challenge for the beast's true capabilities. Lots of places to off road, but haven't got the guts to take $38 K worth of truck through the woods and dent it up, or scratch it to hell.
Have you figured your mileage correctly? Did you get the computer re-calibrated to match the tire size? That will for sure knock your figures off.
I also have a slight miss, but only at idle. dealer says it is normal, I say they are nuts. A friend with a 2000 Sierra w/ 6.0 L has no miss or vibration at idle. Never notice it on the road, even when using cruise.
The power programmer, from what I understand, will lower your mileage in order to get the power. It will allow you to re calibrate your tire size yourself, without changing any of the other PCM functions, might also consider removing the speed limiter, just for kicks.
I tried it.
I liked it.
Good suggestion.

also...I again tried my dealer today.. finally talked to the 'detail-man'.. said to use 3M Adhesive Remover with a stiff toothbrush... no one else in the dealership(s) knew how to do it.. we shall see...
..why in this world would the carmakers use this black stipple plastic trim is beyond me.. must be cheap to buy for them.. it sure is a pain in the butt..
thanx again..
As for being able to order an '01...not a chance and don't let the dealer tell you otherwise, the line are probably shut down (or will be soon) to make the changeover for the '02 model year. I believe the last 2 weeks in June or so is the timeframe for that).
A problem you may run into is a dealer will take an order for an '02 but he won't have the price available. I would not order one until they have the prices (which may not be until the late August / early Sept timeframe.
Hope that helps.

It is past the ordering deadline (April) so don't buy that.
I just bought a pair of base models. One for $22K, 7K off list, and one for $23K, 6500 off list. Fort Worth and Dallas respectively. This included $1000 loyalty rebate.
I saw that Reliable in Richardson, TX had the one with traction, climate, trailering, 9 passenger a week ago. They had more base models than anyone.
Hope this helps.

I recently applied with FlashyAutos.com to have my SUV wrapped with an ad for a monthly cash payment. Has anyone here done that? I think this is pretty cool...FlashyAutos.com basically pays for your car! Let me know what you guys think??
(1) Is it possible for the Dealer to use a Tech 2 to correct my speedometer accurately for an up grade from 245/75/16's to 265/75/16's. If so, why has it not worked after three tries.
(2) If the speedometer can not be set right on, is a 4% error acceptable?
No one at GM can answer or will answer. I have been referred to the Telephone center back to Customer Relations to Tech Center and back to Customer Relations with dealer referrals thrown in. Just answer the two questions! I am contemplating sending the CEO the same questions and ask him what the purpose of On Star, Customer Relations and the Tech Service is beyond supplying purchase information and referring questions to back and forth between the sites. This is really bugging me. Skipjack
Here is a link to some useful info from Pickuptruck.com. Like you, I also upgraded my tires from 245/75/16 to 265/75/16 and investigated getting the computer calibrated. I paid my dealer $38 to do the job but it only calibrated the ABS. This was confirmed to me by the mechanic who did the job.

Yukon XL. Do any of you guys have pros or cons on either model in comparisons from when you bought?
Also any good websites to search to buy a new vehicle as well as dealers in the New England areas to buy from?
Anyone used an autobroker to purchase?
As to Internet deals vs. local dealers, we tried "Autobytel" and had very little luck with it. Our best bet was to use the figures provided right here at Edmunds.com and use them as negotiating tools with the dealership. We took that one step further and presented them to both Chevy and GMC dealers - and then had them compete with each other for our business! "Gee, I don't know, Dealer X has just offered us this Yukon XL for $1,000 over invoice" When they caved, we would go back to the GMC dealership and say, "Well, this is what the Chevy dealership said they would do on a loaded Suburban." By the time neither would budge we had saved several thousand dollars and were driving off in a new YXL. Car salespeople don't like it, but being a career sales guy myself, I know it is the American way. Also be sure to check on any rebates and factory discounts BEFORE you start negotiating. I hear there is a factory loyalty discount/rebate of $1,000 for previous Suburban owners. Negotiate your best deal and then remind them of the rebate when you have finished. You will get a GREAT deal!
Good luck and ENJOY your upgrade - I know we have!

we leased an '01 Chevy Subn 4wdLT Black on 4/30 ...used the $1000 Current Subn loyalty coupon .. If you own a Subn or tahoe that's all that is required
now there is a $1000 Dealer cash Incentive on Subn and Tahoes.. also Yukons & Yukon XL.. where we live in NC--Chevy's Southeast region.. most other regions have the same.. some dealers are passing this along to customers.. others 'play dumb' and say they never heard of it.. they have..
also there is a GM Lease Incentive for old GMAC Leases that originated before 3/30/99.. turn them in without any penalties.. all remaining payments are waived.. I scanned the GMAC info that I received in the mail at http://www.greengrouper.com/ggserver/ChevyLeaseend.jpg I have an older '99 Subn that falls in this category.. so I'm now looking for another one if I can cut the deals all together... this ends on 7/15/01
tried the Internet 'deals' in the past.. no good for us..
I have scanned the Loyalty Coupon at this link.. you don't actually need the coupon .. just show the registration to the dealer to get the $1K Loyalty Rebate.. it ends on 6/30/01 http://www.greengrouper.com/ggserver/Chevy1KLoyaltyCoupon.jpg
the $1000 Dealer Cash Incentive link is at http://www2.edmunds.com/servlets/rebate.RebateDetail?subp=17070&make=Chevrolet&model=Suburban&program=Dealer or go to Edmunds and Look up National Rebates and Incentives and plug in your make/model for your State.. this ends on 7/15/01
lock in place, and in a crash would they stay locked in place. I now drive a 97 Suburban and
the belts allow movement in the chest area, is it
an annoyance to loose this movement. What were
others told was the reason for this change, I am
getting different stories from different dealers. I am not sure they are safer that the ones mounted
to the steel of the car. Please advise me if you
have these and use these, and if they have or have
not protected in a crash.
