I seem to recall you even said this dash squeak was covered under a TSB, but now I can't find your post. If you still have the TSB number and more info on the exact cause and fix, I'd appreciate your passing it on for me again.
Obviously GM does not want customers ordering trucks - they want them purchased off the lot.
Denny
You might be onto something there. When I was at the dealers, there was probably 15 2000 Silverados on the lot (1500's, 2500's, ext cab, reg cab, 2wd, 4wd, etc.) I'll try to wait a month, but then I'll probably order the white, and when it comes in have the local reputable paint shop that the dealer uses paint pewter on the lower half. I would still like to see it come from the factory as a two-tone though.
Can't imagine both the Canadian and US Silverado truck assembly plants not being able to do two-tone.
I've been waiting since July 1998 to order this truck. Another month won't kill me I guess.

Hey congrats pat. Did you see the truck yet? Can you please verify the rear door handles for me? If ytou have them for some odd reason but i doubt any truck will. RED no you cant pay him to say he has those door handles

p.s. RED is not paying me yet
He told me today it had been accepted and would have a build date the week of 8/14.
I had originally ordered the 2001 two tone from a smaller dealer and they just couldn't get it for one reason or another. I went to a bigger dealer and they seemed to get it ordered quickly. I don't have it yet and only time will tell...
I am like you in that I placed a deposit in 11/99 for a 2000 four door and this small dealer just couldn't one. I finally decided I wasn't going to take the last 2000 to roll off the line and said I would just wait and order a 2001... then they couldn't order the two tone yet.
Anyway I supposedly now have the 2001 two tone ordered with a build date. I'm to the point I will believe it when I see it.

It sure doesn't seem to me that GM is too customer oriented.

Because the wife is only 5'2" I want to get a set of running boards/nerf bars. The dealer showed me a truck with Aerotech fiberglass running boards that looked really nice and they extend from the front wheel well to the rear and would be painted to match the truck (old guy color).
Also want to get a bug deflector-ND is overrun by them... what's wrong with the GM product?
Mud flaps??? If I'm paying $28K+ for a truck I want mud flaps more to keep the rocks off the paint than anything.
Looking at getting the GM (Pendaliner) under the rail bed liner. Thought about a Line-X (they look great) but think the drop in will take the abuse better.
Lastly I'm looking at a Raider Nomad II Cap but have searched the web and haven't seen much written about them. Comments?
RYAN.....I have an AUTOTRAC but thought last winter while in 4WD that the message light indicator illuminated "4WD". It doesn't light in 4HI or 4LO and think it should. Does everyone elses light or not....please let me know if you could.
MARK.....My truck has 16,500 and yes I followed the break-in procedures. I'll give your advice a try next time around and let you know but I'm not gonna wait too long to let my service department know my symptoms. Don't want any drama with the service personnel! I'm not one for patientence...especially with a $30,000 truck with 16,500 miles on it! Let Chevrolet, stand behind "LIKE A ROCK"!

Ryan, I'll go with some flares when I put on some aftermarket wheels and tires. Have to go with pewter, must be my responsible corporate side showing.

Looks cool.

For airbags there are two compaines
http://www.firestoneindustrial.com/home.htm

and the best price for Air Lift is from
http://www.jegs.com/
Air bags are meant to raise the rear end when hauling heavy loads, not really to stabilize it. It sounds like you need a set of Bilstein shocks.

I have a 2000 2500 and haven't heard any power steering noise like you describe. Maybe I'm lucky? Or maybe it's too soon, I have 9k miles. How many do you have?

I have a Carmine Red 2500 4x4 with Satin Black fender flares.
Do the fender flares make me
young and cool,
Or does the Carmine Red make me
just an old fool?

Congrats!
Did you actually get an order # yet for your Z71 Blk/Ptr truck? Until you actually get an order # I believe there still is a chance your order can be rejected. Please let me so, I can decide soon on whether I need to change dealers or not.

Please let me know, so I can......

When I ordered my 00, no more sliding windows. I had a C. R. Laurence window installed for $200. This window has a solid metal frame and you will not be able to get a piece of wire into it to open the latch. I like it much better than the GM window.
I'll bet the cost of removing two windows and exchanging them will be very close to the cost of a new slider installed. And then you have a nice solid window as a spare, just in case. Just like I do.

Think of the money GM could save if they offered a truly custom truck as was done in the distant past.

They don't have all the specs of the 8600 and 9200lb 2500's, but the one's they have are the same for both trucks (except the GVWR)

If you want to remove the rear tailgate cap...do it soon before the vibration leaves too much of a scuff on the paint.
I feel taking all that off will look worse than you think...especially the bumper covers. They may not be finished or worse have some kind of goofy holes?
Good luck

Today I'm checking around with some other different Chevrolet dealers to see if they are having any luck in ordering a 2001 Silverado LS ext-cab Z71 with two-tone paint. I still can't believe my order got rejected because of the two-tone paint.
I've also sent an email to Chevrolet.com asking them how this could happen.
-David
Mike, is the C.R. Laurence Window the unit that completely slides down into the cab? That would be cool.
