    The Pioneer brand changer is the same as the Delco changer (which Pioneer makes) and is more reasonably priced. I have had both, a Delco and a Pioneer 12 disc changer. They are identical except for the name plate. The Pioneer works with all the existing radio controls on the Yukon. It's great.

    A friend at work has just received his five volume set of the 2001 Service Manual ( GMT01CK8 )
    I had a chance to look at it today, Other gents on this net have complained about the same problem.
    I found that there are two motors for the Lumbar and Bolster adjustments in both pick-ups and the Utilities.
    Under the drivers seat is a 7 pin Wiring Connector. The color code on the connector C-305 is:
    A = Orange
    B = Tan
    C = Black
    D = No Wire
    E = Pink
    F = Dark Blue
    G = Purple

    There is a small push to release tang that is part of the connector which must be depressed before the connector will come apart.
    Pulling this connector will disable both motors. Is this what you want to do?
    I will investigate more at work tomorrow. There doesn`t seem to be a lead going to the body control module but I didn`t have access to the five books for very long today. ( Don`s set should arrive in about a week. )
    If you want to wait for a day or two for a better research project I plan to do that.
    In case you simply pull this connector apart right away PLEASE advise:
    1. Are the connector color codes and order of placement correct.
    2. Did pulling the connector apart give you a message on the vehicles message center?

    I know I am not going crazy, however I'm sure my left leg is activating the lumbar/bolster switch momentarily as I swing my leg across the seat to exit. I would be interested in someone else checking to see if they also inadvertently activate the lumbar/bolster controls as their leg compresses the seat cushion and then briefly makes contact with the switch. It doesn't happen everytime and it activates the switch for varying amounts of time affecting the amount of change in the position of the lumbar and bolsters.

    Definitely a poor design if someone else can confirm a similar experience.

    don4341: do the manuals show if the lumbar/bolster switch on the side of the seat can be rotated 180 degrees so that when the upper part of the switch is inadvertently activated, if it is already fully "deflated", it will have no effect?

    I have a 2001 3/4 Suburban, 6.0 with 4.10 rear end. Hoping to improve my mileage, (7 MPG City, 8.4 Towing boat @ 8000 LBS, and 14.5 Hi way) I decided to up grade my Gravestone 245 75 16's to Michelin 265 75 16. I traded at the Dealership, $25. trade-in per tire, and asked them to make sure that they re programed the computer for the tire size change. They said they did. I drove back home, 350 miles and checked my speed with a hand held GPS, and I was about 3 MPH faster than the Speedometer showed at 68. (Indicated speed 68, actual speed 71.) Today I took it to the local dealer, who said they had the Tech 2, to have it checked and set again. I picked up the truck and checked again and nothing had changed. When I went back to the Dealership, they said they didn't do anything, because it was already set for 265's. The difference I am experiencing is the same difference error that a couputerized chart says I would get (3 MPH slow indication at 68MPH on the speedometer) They said that the computer could not be set for anything bigger than 265's. (I was going to have it set for 275's to see if this would compensate for the slow speedometer. What can I do now. The overdrive will not engage until the speedometer is doing 55, in the Tow/Haul position. Now I have to get it up to the actual speed of 57.5 to go into overdrive. Also, towing an 8000 LBS boat before the tire upgrade, my truck would stay in overdrive even over overpasses. With the larger tires, it is now hard to keep in overdrive on any incline. I can nurse the throttle and go over some, but it does slow. I am really surprised that this would have that much effect, as the chart says that my ratio only changed from 4.10 to 3.93. Any comments appreciated! Skipjack 2

    Can anyone help me with trying to figure out what the difference is between the Surburban and the Yukon XL. I live in southern CA and I currently have a '99 GMC Surburban. Turning it back in under our lemon laws here and I still want a new one but cannot decide what the difference is between the two. My other concern is why the GMC is almost $9,000 more then the chevy surburban. In reading the spec's from edmunds they are identical in size and weight etc.

    Thanks to anyone who can help....
  • gpvsgpvs Member Posts: 214
    GMC changed the name to Yukon recently. The price difference is more of options and stuff that's standard on Yukon, i think and you have to pick it yourself in the Suburban. Anybody, correct me if i'm wrong. I'm also deciding which ones to get.

    I upgraded my factory stereo amp in my Yukon XL and now all I get is a blinking RED light on my on-star button. I called the GMC service manager but they has no information on what makes on-star tick within the truck. I am still able to reach on-star but they said they can'r register me until my light is green I talked to a different local stereo shop and he thought the factory amp. had to be in the truck for on-star to work. Thanks for any help you might have.

    Yea the tech 2 is a handheld unit but to get the programs you need for your vehicle they plug the tech 2 into a computer and download the program from a gm site into the tech 2. Then unhook the tech 2 from the computer and hook the tech 2 into your truck and download info it got from the computer. I seen this first upclose. I was in the service bay when they were programing an update for the trans into my truck

    Your oil pressure seems fine, just like your heart, when it pumps faster it has higher pressure.

    The middle row headrests do not fold. Wish they did, like on the hoe.

    The guy must have done that in the plant before bringing it out to my truck. Don't know why everyone is having such a problem with the dealers, I used other cars with digital dash to gauge the change and it is right on, I even had a friend follow me and we talked on cell phones to confirm the speed, correct again. Maybe the guy at work is a magician, or more than likely the dealer is stupid. Has anyone tried using a speedo repair shop to calibrate? I know they can do it, most have roll stands that give a speed readout to compare with the speedo. Like this place, http://www.specmo.com/index1.html
  • don4341don4341 Member Posts: 69
    Page 8-1369 shows the Lumbar Switch replacement. As I see it, the switch has four mounting screws, Two are very near the front edge of the switch plate and the other two are NOT near the rear edge at the opposite end. They are inboard quite a bit.
    A 180 degree flop can`t be done due to the unbalanced switch mounting hardware.
    Wish I could tell you otherwise. If anyone else with a manual has a different view please post.

    If no one gives help by Friday 5-11-01 I`ll ask Don. to pick this one up. He gets out of the Hospital Thursday night and wants to get back to work on wiring analysis.
    The 2001 Service Manual Set surely has info on On-Star so I don`t understand your Service Managers comment about "No info on On-Star" The manual said that one copy is sent to each GM Service Shop as soon as it is published. Even if they didn`t get a "freeby" they sure as H___ should order one, or a CD version of the info.

    First item = SAFETY.
    DO NOT attempt to check the wiring in the steering wheel housing. Accidental deployment of the air bag can break fingers or break you neck if you are in a bad alignment with the bag. A 13 step SIR Disable procedure must be performed by qualified technicians. After that, page 8-604 can be used -along with a ohm meter - to test the 6 audio controls on the steering wheel.
    The volume up cat. = 1270 ohms.
    The volume down cat. = 294 ohms.
    The MUTE cat. = 823 ohms
    The Seek Up cat. = 715 ohms
    The Seek Down Cat. = 1115 ohms
    The Preset cat, = 9350 ohms

    To make these readings the technician is directed to REMOVE the steering Wheel SIR Module and to remove a fuse. Again please DON`I attempt this yourself - just wanted you to know that these simple ohm meter checks are spelled out in Volume 5 of our Service Manual. I`ll ask Don to check my findings after he gets home this week end. He may post additional items. Just trying to apply a little background info.

    I read the thread you suggested and also the posting here on the reprogramming using the Tech 2 at the dealership. Even though the adjustment was made, I am sure no change took place. GPS speed difference is the same as the chart said it would be with no adjustment. The info on Pickup.com said that there is no problem adjusting if you are going 245 to 265, as I did. Then the discussion went to going 245 to 285 and said you needed to get the code from GM I'm not sure now what the dealer didn't do. If there is a complete reprogramming that could effect the shifts or power curve, I would like to have it done. If nothing else, I would like to get the speedometer back on, because even the 3 MPH error effects the shift point on overdrive in the tow/haul mode. I must be too thick to understand what I should tell the dealer about what to do. isn't it ironic that we are all working hard on this just so we can tell the GM dealership how to do their job?? It's obvious that the dealerships are not up on this subject and GM looks like it wants to keep it that way. Thanks for your input.

    The "Un-service Mangular" should get a set of the 2001 Service Manuals.
    Cellular service is covered in Volume 5, pages 638 through 678.
    A good Service Tech. - using a scan tool - will probably discover that there is set, one of three DTC codes. Any of these will give you a RED LED.
    DTC-B2462 = The VIU (Vehicle Interface Unit) does
    not see a GPS signal from the Sat. Ant

    DTC-B2476 = OnStar key pad has incorrect voltage.
    should be 2.8 to 3.2 VDC

    DTC-U1500 = Fault in Digital Data Circuit maybe
    12 VDC feed or no data.

    Since you removed the original Amp I suspect you will have a DTC-U1500 Trouble Code Set. If you fax me a copy of the hook-up wiring I will try to see how we can satisfy the missing data on the bus. Can`t guarantee but will try.
    Manual also states that after trouble is cleared a scan tool must send a CLEAR message to get rid of the RED light.
    Will read more when I get home in a couple of hours. My Fax Number is 410-859-3184.
    Can`t talk right all the time but at least I can type - sort of O.K. Please be patient for a while. Hand-eye and thought processes still not solid.

    I just purchased a new 2001 3/4 ton Suburban. Rides nice, but it has trouble moving from reverse gear into drive. It stalls and acts as if it is in neutral for 1-2 seconds then finally goes into drive. It only has this problem when coming out of reverse. The dealer says that others have noticed this to, but didn't offer a resolution. Has anyone else had this problem? Any fixes that you've heard of?
  • twattstwatts Member Posts: 4
    Any tips, tricks to installing a trailer brake controller on my 2001 Suburban? The harness has five wires, most trailer brake controllers have four. Does one of the harness wires go unused?

    Installing the supplied fuse provides power for both the controller and the trailer battery feed, correct?

    I appreciate it.
  • drb2002drb2002 Member Posts: 72
    The 5th wire is for "illumination" of your brake controller if it is required. Most do not.

    Did you mount the controller in the pre-drilled holes under the dash in the center? I just mounted mine there, and it does not seem to get in the way.

    I bought a 2001 3/4 ton Suburban with the 8.1 last month. Have had two problems---
    Drive line thump when coming to a stop. and
    Clattering noise(lifters/valves) when starting a cold motor.

    The drive line thump was helped greatly by putting a special lubricant on the drive shaft where it enters the transmission.. It's a special GM silicone lubricant. It didn't totally eliminate the problem, but it is significantly better.
    The dealer has no clue on the clattering noise when starting a cold motor. It lasts for anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes. Doesn't do it when starting a hot engine.
    Has anyone with the 8.1 liter motor had this problem? If so, what was the fix? An oil change at 3000 miles had no effect.
    Any info would be appreciated.
  • don4341don4341 Member Posts: 69
    Just wondering - does this engine use a oil filter with a anti-drain back valve. If it does not this sure sounds like the engine isn`t. getting enough oil - fast enough - to the upper level. The only thing that sounds odd is that it sometimes will chatter for five minutes. Thats a very long time for oil to reach upper level parts. Since it never happens with a hot engine one would suspect a low lube condition
  • eversonseversons Member Posts: 38
    I have 8,000 miles on my 8.1 liter. Changed oil to Mobil 1 ~4000 miles. I too have the cold clatter noises. I haven't bothered to check on it yet.
  • eversonseversons Member Posts: 38
    I have a 2001 YXL 2500 with 8.1 and locking differential. When accelerating from a stop AND turning, the driveline makes a thunking noise (about 10 in a row for 5 seconds). This does not happen when accelerating in a straight line. I think it may be the locker binding up. Any other ideas or solutions?

    TIA
  • buster27buster27 Member Posts: 28
    Thanks all for the feed back.
    I don't know what type oil filter the 8.1 uses. I know it's not the same one that my 96's 454 used. It does sound like the top end is not getting lubed when starting. I'll have to check on the filter. Don't know if I should use any special oil additives, especially on a new motor.
    To eversons- If your noise only happens when turning, then it is the locking differential. That's why I didn't get one on my 2001. My 96 had one. GM had to replace the whole rear end at 14000 miles. It also requires more service--changing the fluid every 15000 miles.

    Am moving back to Arizona from overseas at end of June. Can anyone out there tell me of a great deal you've gotten recently on a 1500 LS 4x4 w/tralier pkg, liftgate, 5.3L and bench seat up front? I don't currently qualify for any of the rebates (loyalty, college grad, etc) but am hoping June brings at least one that I will qualify for. I have been quoted $35,000 for the truck listed above ($~200 over invoice) but with gas prices increasing and dealer inventories seemingly high, I would like a better deal.

    Thanks in advance for any comments. Would be willing to buy in a neighboring state if more economical.
  • don4341don4341 Member Posts: 69
    For what it`s worth - Volume 1 of the 2001 Service manual states that this Engine ( The 8.1 ) should use a PF 454 Oil Filter.
  • buster27buster27 Member Posts: 28
    That is the oil filter installed on my truck. Don't know if it has a check valve or not. It is much smaller than the filter that was used on my 7.4/454. I believe that was the PF 1218.
    Dealer is trying to get some info from the tech center, but so far, they haven't been much help.
    Other than this problem, the truck is absolutely great. It has awesome power. It pulls my 35', 8500# travel trailer with no difficulty. The Autoride suspension is great. The truck rides better than my wife's 2000 Buick Regal LS. Love the sunroof and heated, memory seats.
    Just wish it didn't clatter every morning when I crank it up.

    I'm looking to buy a new Suburban, we tow a 27' travel trailer that weighs approximately 6,800 - 7,000 lfs loaded. I know the brochure says a 1500, 5.3 engine with a 410 axle can pull 8,800 lfs, but wanted to ask if someone with a 5.3 engine, 1500 suburban has had any experience? Plan on pulling in the mountains and don't want to struggle in the mountains during a summer vacation. Thanks for feedback.
  • moss6moss6 Member Posts: 12
    If you want a 1500 I would have to suggest that you look for a good used 99' or earlier with 5.7 and preferably geared 4.10. The new 5.3's are peppy but lack the grunt to pull unless reving to around 4,000 or more; this is not pleasant to drive and just plane wears you and your leg out. The new 2500 is a real puller if you get the 8.1 but stay away from the 6.0 because it is like the 5.3 except it doesn't have the pep, and gets only slightly better mileage than the 8.1. I have even seen situations with a heavy load that the 8.1 is more economical. Also if you get the 8.1 stay with the 3.73 gearing.
  • skipjack2skipjack2 Member Posts: 29
    If I were you, I would try to stay away from the 4.10 rear end unless all you will be doing is towing. I think the 2500 with the 6.0 engine is rated for 8600 in the 3.73 rear end. You would gain a HD transmission and more torque. I think your gas mileage would be as good as the 1500 with the 4.10 rear end. Maybe better on the Hi way. Right now is a good time to buy a Suburban. I'm seeing lower pricing and rebates. Sorry I did not wait a couple of months. You might not get as good a deal on the 2500, as there are not as many on the dealers lots. Lots of Surburban 1500s and I think the supply is backing up. Last January a dealer saleperson told me that I should buy the one model they had, because they are hard to get. Now they are in Over Supply! Skiphack 2

    I'm very close to purchasing a new 'burb or YXL. I can get a great deal on a YXL with cargo doors but I, and the missus, are concerned that they are not as good as the liftgate. Can anyone give me some pros and cons regarding liftgate vs. cargo doors?

    David
  • skipjack2skipjack2 Member Posts: 29
    I have the lift gate and I like it. My last two had a tail gate and I liked it much better than the barn doors. If you tow, the barn doors can get in the way. I was concerned about the weight of the lift gate, but my wife has no problem with it. I liked the tail gate to sit on or use as a table. Not an option now. The lift gate lets you reach items as well as the barn doors. ALSO WITH THE LIFT GATE YOU GET A REAR WASHER/WIPER. This is a nice and needed feature, in my opinion. I would think with the current rebates and the large dealer inventories, you should get a good deal on any Suburban. Skipjack 2
  • jgmilbergjgmilberg Member Posts: 872
    I HAVE a 2500 with autoride, 6.0L engine, 3.73:1 axle ratio, 4 WD. It took 5 month from order date to delivery. I love it, great for towing, I towed my '70 Olds Cutlass, about 4000 pounds + car hauling trailer, to my new house, and hardly knew it was back there!! If you are going to use it for regular driving most of the time I would advise the Autoride option. I love the Autoride, and would not buy one without it, EVER! I test drove the 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton models before deciding which I wanted, and didn't notice much difference between the 5.3 and 6.0, the 6.0 was a little slower off the line but when you're on the roll and kick it, you get put back in your seat! It rides like the old 1/2 ton models.

    If the half ton is in your future, I still would consider the Autoride, on the half ton, you get a really plush rid, and it also levels off the truck under heavy loads or when trailering, 3/4 ton dampens the ride and adjusts the shock damping in tow/haul mode, to keep from bobbing in the rear end.

    In either event get the towing pkg, it is worth the money to have it done at the factory. You will get the hitch, external trans cooler(not just the one in the radiator), and the wiring harness outside near the hitch, the plug in harness for trailer brakes under the dash. Only thing you need is the slide in ball mount and ball. Really get your $230 worth in the pkg, hitch alone is $170 installed + $30 for slide out ball mount and ball, and NO wiring, was told that it would be another $50 for that. So it is actually slightly cheaper to have it done when it gets built, and you may be able to negotiate the price wit the dealer.

    You can get the best of both worlds in a Denali XL. It will cost more, but is well worth the money, especially if you like toys.
  • jgmilbergjgmilberg Member Posts: 872
    I also have a lift gate, wouldn't have the barn doors, I wanted the wiper. You also lose the stupid blind spot where the doors meet. I had a van and tapped many a light pole that got lost between the windows, luckily I leave the hitch ball in, so no damage was done. I also got sick of having to clean the rear windows, especially in the winter, only took a few miles and it would get all dirty again, had to do it at least once a day in the winter. I got one of those hitch tables for the back, too high to sit on, but still like it, cost $140 +I&H. http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts.cfm?partfamilyid=242&CHID=7421178&CFTOKEN=2df0e6f-b11566b7-78e2-4959-9ee7-ed23f001f1c5&makeunique=5854

    drb2002> fifth wire for illumination

    Thanks! Still a little bit nervous about installing the controller and fuse in a vehicle that cost more than my first house . Asked my dealer for a price to install, and he said the service guys had never done it ... but he thought someone in Parts did it in his off time.

    The harness looks like it should just be "plug and play," but experience tells me that things that look easy rarely are.

    Guess I should just bite the bullet and install it myself!

    I've never had a Suburban before so I thought some of you fine people could answer some questions I have.
    1. What kind of gas mileage would I expect to get on a 1992-1500, with the 5.7?

    2. Is the transmission for a 92 a standard 400 or what?
    3. Is the engine a run of the mill chevy 350.
    4. This vehicle has 185,000 highway miles on it and runs well.(original engine& transmission) Is this excessive? How long or far do Suburbans last? (I would be useing this vehicle for local use and short trips)
    5. I can buy this suburban for $2500. is this a good price? (I would/could replace the engine & transmission in the future if not too expensive.)

    Thanx in advance. -Ken

    I have 250,000 miles on my 1992 K2500 Suburban with 5.7. I have regularly changed the oil every 12,000 to 16,000 miles. I have had no motor problems at all! I have had alternator, starter, transmission (1 ton heavy duty version), fuel pump and fuel pump logic circuit problems among others.

    The truck is great, the cost of ownership is HIGH. Bits and pieces wear out frequently (this is an old high mileage truck). I drive 40,000 miles a year, so this is an issue. If you won't be putting on lots of miles, this may work out for you.

    The price you mentioned is a good price. My upkeep, repairs, and maintainence runs about $3,000 for every 40,000 miles. So add that in.

    Mileage about 12.5 per gallon mixed driving.

    Feel free to e-mail questions.

    I tow a 24' enclosed car trailer with a 5.3 1500 Yukon with Auto ride. I will agree that it's a little down on power, but can handle my rig (6500lbs +) pretty comfortably at 65 MPH. Doesn't have much more steam beyond that. I only use 3rd gear instead of I (overdrive) even though the manual says you can tow in D. I believe towing this load in 3rd on the highway is about 2800RPM with 3.73. I do recommend Auto ride. I can drop my trailer onto the hitch which brings the bumper almost to the ground, and ales 2 ins. later auto ride has corrected itself to perfectly level. Pretty nifty. Someone below alluded to Auto ride only assisting in the tow/haul mode on the 2500? Not sure I agree, but I like my truck. Also have to agree, wish I'd have waited a year, but the lease was up!
  • balserbalser Member Posts: 90
    Our last two 'burbs have had the barn doors and we prefer them to the lift gate. We have Thule bike racks and a pod for the top. It's very easy to open the barn doors, stand on the cargo area floor, and load whatever on the roof. Much easier than balancing on the bumper, sidestep, or rear tire. We tow and never found the barn doors to get in the way. The blind spot never bothers either my wife or I. It seems big, but in practice the center pillar has never really hidden anything. The barn doors on our 2000 are nicer than our 96 because they open farther without having to undo the hinge. I don't think we'll ever own a 'burb with the lift gate.

    I have a 3/4 ton (2500) Yukon XL, with Autoride. Autoride on the 2500 does not have the self leveling feature. It is an active system, on all the time but when you engage tow/haul mode it stiffens up the ride in back to prevent the bobbing when going over bumps. It explains it in the owners manual on page 2-35.
