I got a report from the dealer showing dates that the "preliminary order was Accepted, Added.....
It showed a Preliminary order accepted date of 3-09-01.
Is the count off? Am I not doing something that would let me go to the latest message on the chance that someone responded to my in query?

Moral of the story is, I don't believe in rustproofing. Also it helps that today the vehicle manufacturers build a better piece of equipment than they did 15 years ago.
I say save your money. I can tell a lot of other people are doing just that when you pass by Ziebart and they are installing running boards, bug shields, visors, and other accessories just to stay in business because people just don't rustproof things anymore.
P.S. Don't order the HD battery, It is no longer available
I know many people are getting 2500HD's without the aluminum rims (without even being asked if they stilll want the truck) and are being given credit for them cause they dont have enough.
What color is your burb? Ill keep on eye out for it.
Kinda wierd that they would send it to the van place. I have been by there a few times and all i really see is a bunch of full size vans sitting in their huge lot that have things like ceiling extended,things added to the body, custom wheels.
What all extra comes on the Z71 burb?

Unlike the 1500 models, I suspect the 8.1L 2500 models have the full cooling equipment package anyway (the $141 trailer package probably adds only the hitch, and maybe the brake wiring harness). I would investigate further. If that is the case, you could simply add a after-market hitch. The way to know for sure is to look at the actual option codes on the vehicle (not the invoice, which is only a subset of the actual build options). The dealer should have an exhaustive list of each option code ans should be able to tell what cooling options were installed.
I have read this thread and I am very confused. Can the dealer re-calibrate or do I have to buy a jet control unit or? If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated. My understanding is the the transmission shifting also get re-calibrated.

Thanks, John
Dealers do stock them. They do not stay very long. I test drove one before I ordered mine. they only come with leather, with bucket seats. The seats are the same ones that come in an upgraded LS. The lights on the roof rack are not available.
They had about 20 new 2001 Suburbans. My question is this, I only saw one that had the 1500 emblem or badge on the side of the vehicle. I am a newbie as I just starting looking at suburbans. What does the 1500 represent . I was wondering wy the emblem was not on the other suburbans
thanks
2500 = 3/4 ton
3500 = 1 ton
Can you tell me what the differences are between the Trident and Interceptor on the Yukon?? Is the Trident a thicker material, does it stand more upright on the hood, or is it a sturdier version of the Interceptor with a similar profile? Does it mount in the factory holes, or is drilling required?? Thanks.
I had a new fuel pump put on my 2000 suburban in jan 01
and the dealer indicated all new fuel pumps were noisey.
He said they would replace it but it wouldn't be any
quieter than the one already on it. So i just left it alone and after about 2-months it quieted down and I don't notice it. But I know what you are describing, because mine was noisey enough to notice it inside the truck.

I ordered my Z71 on March 1st. Dealer called a few days ago, gave me the VIN and said I should have it by the end of this month. I'll let you know when it comes via the e-mail you provided.
I have a 2001 Suburban 2500 LT 4x4 w/ 8.1 L. I was towing my 6600 lb (dry wt.) travel trailer for the first time this past weekend. In tow/haul mode the transmission would not shift into 4th gear, even though there was plenty of rpm's and torque available. I ended up towing in regular drive, and with very few exceptions, spent the entire time comfortably in 4th gear.
Does anyone know if tow/haul atomatically locks out 4th gear? If so, I probably will tow in regular drive since I seem to have plenty of hp and torque without the added rpm's allowed by tow/haul mode. Thanks.

Two answers to your questions. Go to GM BuyerPower on this site. Fill in for a Chev. Sub. model type 1/2 ton 4wd Z71. Put in 77479 for the zipcode. Click the dealer starting with MAC (the fourth one, I think.) You will see he has 4 Z71's in stock.
Also on gmbuyerpower, if you will build your own, select the 1/2 ton 4wd LS. In the options, you will see a selection for Z71 off road package, $10,818. I would print copies of this and show them to your dealer. (I double checked all of this before I wrote this note.

thanks
On my previous Suburbans, there was a badge, but not this one. Don't know if it's a new thing or not.
Are there any after market accessories that will keep the ladders where I want them? Does the special Z71 off road package roof rack do a better job keeping things from falling off?
TIA

I prefer the Interceptor - Painted to match
No drilling on new GM or Fords. Just installed on my 01 Yukon Denali XL. Painted white. A easy 1 minute job. Put plastic plugs in the square OEM holes & screws in fine. Unless you get old stock, then get out your drill & measuring tool - a 2-4 minute job on some applications
I have a few customers that prefer the Avenger (Smoke only). Yet very sleek/small. Kinda close for me.
Then if you do not like anything wrapped around, just a hood protector - Defender (smoke only). Would be an option.
Lots to chose from out there. If you have a black vehicle - purchase smoke & Kylon the back side with semigloss - quick & easy. This makes it a pure black like the vehicle. Remember to keep plenty of wax on them for the shine & easy to clean off when covered with bugs. Keep your receipt - LIFETIME WARRANTY!! **Interceptor is my choice & again highly recommend! My reason for install is protecting the hood from chips.
3M makes a Scotchcal kits (clear vinyl) hood kits ready for install for those that hate bug shields - another option.
Don't wait to long - the bugs are out in high force here in Missouri already - If you travel on two lane roads - the last thing you want is a small rock to chip your paint.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Thanks....
Anyone have experience with the PIAA of similar size? Can they use the OEM switch?
Thanks again.
Any feedback on this and on other member's experiences with base Suburbans is appreciated. Thanks!
