The Helm OEM manual says that the parking break can be adjusted as follows:
1. Make sure the parking brake adjustment key is not in place.
2. Pump the parking brake three times.
What is the parking brake adjustment key? Helm seems to suggest that it's on the foot lever mechanism, but I can't seem to find it.
If you've come across this and know how to adjust the parking brake, please drop a reply. Thanks.
From my experience, GM Buy Power was not much use. When I buy again next year, I'll call the Fleet Manager directly and set up a meeting on a weekday morning or evening when the lot rats are not around, cut the deal quickly, and be on my way. I purchased several Toyotas this way and essentially purchased my Suburban this way (the GM Buy Power contact from the dealer was the Fleet Manager) and it has worked the best for me.
Oh, by the way, the dealership where I said I'd never shop (but ended up buying from them anyway) is Rotolo in Fontana, CA. The Fleet Manager was Brian R. and he was very accommodating and truly gave me no BS. He cut to the price in just a few minutes and actually kept me informed throughout the order fulfillment process (I was amazed). He get's first crack at my next purchase (despite the dealership's insulting advertising!).
Unfortunately, the Service Department at Rotolo has used the jerk around process on me, so I don't go there for any service at all. Too bad they don't follow Brian's lead.
Sent one E-mail around 5:00 PM Friday - got a response Saturday morning that said they had 15 Tahoes in stock that meet my requirements. Got to dealership around 10:00 AM - my wife changed our minds on what color we wanted (LOL) - took 30 minute test drive- signed papers - handed them a check and was home by 12:30.
To date I have not had any warranty work done on the 02 Burb....fit and finish were excellent!
This was not the case of others...the worst one I owned was a 4x4 made right here in the USA.
Only real "quality issue" I had on another made in Mexico was greasy footprints on the carpet (this is how is came off the truck).

Condition
Some customers may comment that the rear wiper jumps when the fog lamps are turned on.
Cause
Electrical feedback from the fog lamp circuit into the ground of the rear window washer pump may cause this condition.

I've been looking for a month and haven't found one yet.
Thanks
Is someone having this problem too? What is it?!
Thanks
We executed the Safety Bulletin from Chevy and are getting another 2k per brake set, but this still is not what we expect.
Does anyone know of a solution from inside the GM parts store? Or a solution from an aftermarket product that we could bolt on?
Thanks for any help you can give.
The 2nd ski season I made it a point to wash the truck after every trip into the mountains. The side chrome and grill are rusting once again. GM now says its not their problem. It is residual damage - the owner's responsibility. I believe the chrome should be more resistive to corrosion and rust. The 3rd ski season is about to begin!
I owned a 97 Yukon. I rarely washed it during ski season. It never had a rust problem.
Has anybody else had rusty chrome problems? Any suggestions on how to deal with GM? Pleasantries are getting me nowhere. I'm to the point where I will hang a sign in the window advertising "Rusty Chrome Proudly Provided by BURT GMC".
they treated me well.... I live north of the Myrtle Bch area just into NC about 125 miles away from them ... I took their price and negotiated with my local dealer for my wife's '01 4wd LT Subn in 4/01.. two months later my dealer couldn't locate a '01 Z71 for me .. I checked with Marchant.. they had it..gave me their $98 over invoice price plus deducted my $1K Subn Loyalty rebate plus deducted a $1K Dealer Cash-only discount.. so I got the Z71 $2k below invoice..plus they took back my '99 Subn on that specialty early lease turn in deal that Chevy had going last year.. I was happy... my local dealer couldn't produce so I went elsewhere..
if nothing else, the Marchant site is good for comparing what prices should be.. nice folks and pleasant to deal with... if it matters, the same family also owns Ravenel Ford about a mile south of Marchant Chevy in Ravenel .. they do the same type pricing on all Fords.. $98 over invoice..plus ALL rebates and cash incentives go to the buyer.. no add-ons, etc

Now that we are home I am wondering if anyone knows where we can go for factory assistance. I prefer names over just calling in and complaining.
Any assistance would sincerely be appreciated.
Thank you
here's my wife's Blk '01 'burban and my white '01 Z71 'burban

we were up in Wilmington yesterday 'shopping'.. darn place is getting super crowded in that College Rd area.. whew..
Great people to deal with.
I think they are all putting winter air in their tires and rotating the dome lights in preparation for the changing seasons! :-)

#1) Can anyone recomend a dealer in South Florida?
#2) It will have to be factory ordered... how long does this take?
#3) I was told that I can't use any incentives now until the suburban gets in. That doesn't seem fair...as a consuemr it's not my fault that a fully loaded one is not available. They should be able to give me whatever incentives are now for when I actually am able to drive the car of the lot. Right?
thanks!

Have the mechanic look at the starter.
