back seat all the way to the front toe kick area was totally soaked. I have had my 2000 Yukon for almost a year
now and have never noticed this before. Anybody else have problems? I have an appointment tomorrow at the
dealer to inspect. Also, the vehicle was taken in several months ago for the body seal recall.

FOR SALE - 97 SLE Suburban 4WD - LOADED w/lots of extras!! 48k Red/Grey Leather can email pics SHARP! One of kind!
While we are covering details like this, my windshield wipers are noisy. It's not the wiper blades, but the motor itself. Whine, whine whine. I get enough of that from my kids! Do I need to take it in to the service department?
Thanks
$1000 coupon and that I should get it within the next week to 10 days. Don't know what database GM would use to send them out. Ask your dealer about it.
I wouldn't sign the papers until you hear about the $1000.
My new Suburban is supposed to be here next week. Shipped on 20 Feb. Hope my coupon is here by then.

Thanx
dollar customer loyalty program for current sub/tahoe owners..mine too is expected in any day.
He told me that I can bring title or current registration for proof of ownership, and that should be enough. Thought that I would pass this along.
Also, you can't beat these guys on a great deal... get this: $98.00 over FACTORY INVOICE!
NO B.S. They will build it over the phone. Took me ten minutes to order mine. Very knowledgeable salesperson... Jim Cowley. They are located in South Carolina, and will drop ship to a dealership close to you, anywhere in the U.S.
Look up website: Marchantchevy.com. Good professional people.
on it. But even the 6.0 is quicker than the Seq. or Exc. 4.10 gears really help out. Can't wait to get it out on the highway. Its
a beautiful truck. GM's got a winner with this new body style and it fits in my garage. No complaints from this Colorado family.
The '01 3/4 ton 4wd comes in 4 variations: 8.1L, 4.10, 12,000lbs; 8.1L, 3.73, 10,500lbs; 6.0L, 4.10 10,000lbs; 6.0L, 3.73, 8,000lbs
I traded the '92 Sub in on the '01 DXL in January. The ride differences are like night and day. Can't compare the new 3/4 ton to the old one, but I am sure there is a significant improvement. The 3/4 ton however, will always have a "bouncier" ride than the 1/2 ton due to the leaf springs in the rear. This is particularly true when the rear suspension is unsprung (no load).
The whole point of the leaf spring suspension is to provide for a greater loading on the rear suspension than a coil and shock setup could provide. The combination of the 4.10 rear with leaf springs (and the xtra torque of the 7.4L) are the reasons my '92 3/4 ton had a greater tow capacity even though the new DXL has greater hp.
In the end, I traded the xtra 1600 lbs tow capacity for the greater comfort of the 1/2 ton suspension in the DXL. BTW, for those with the 8.1L and 4.10 rear, where do you find a tow bar and ball with a 12,000 lb rating? The largest I have seen in catalogs is 10,000lbs.
Yes, the driver side window comes up wet several days after a rain or the car wash. I was thinking it was just because of the cold weather in the NE and when the weather warms up it will dry out quicker.
No, I haven't had "cold feet" syndrome in the front passenger floor area. I have front and rear climate control set-up.

Do these little units generate any heat? Has anyone done this before?
I called GMC the next week and they said to call back in 2 weeks, that the order should be in the system by then. Two weeks later, they gave an estimated TPW of 2/5. So far, so good. I called the week of 2/5 to see if they were still on schedule, and the person indicated that the vehicle wasn't entered into the system yet?! After insisting that it was and that she check again, she "found it" and indicated there was no TPW for it and had no idea when it would get built. I called the salesman and he didn't really put a lot of trust into what the GMC folks had to say, but assured me things were going fine. I called GMC the next Wednesday, and viola, they said the truck had been built and shipped. I drove down and picked it up on 2/23 (even though they offered door-to-door delivery for only $100).
I was very happy with the process and wouldn't think twice about doing it again. The dealership is Biggs GMC/Pontiac in Elizabeth City, NC and the salesman (who was excellent) was Mike Douglas. If you contact him, please mention my name as a referral; maybe I'll get a hat or something.
Anyway, we love the truck, and this board has really helped in doing the research necessary to make an informed purchase.

Same thing for the Tahoe.
rleonard: Yes, I have the moonroof, however I had it installed aftermarket through the dealer. This way I could have the rear climate controls and the moonroof. I used the ASC which is the same sunroof/moonroof used by GM. Cannot tell the difference and it comes with a lifetime warranty. Also has one touch close feature and auto close ten seconds after the ignition is turned off. Neither feature is available from the factory. You can read more on the sunroofs at ascglobal.com.
1) Does anyone know how the dual fuel tanks on the 3/4 ton work. From just looking underneath there is a main tank
along the inside frame rail and a secondary tank up above the spare. The fuel filler fills the secondary which has a
large fill hose running to the main tank. Apparently by filling the secondary tank it runs over to the primary. My
questions deal with how the fuel gauge works and the flow between tanks. The GMC brochure is silent on the dual
tanks, but the Chevy brochure says that when the primary tank gets down to 5 gallons, a "turbine pump" pumps
the fuel from the secondary tank. Does anyone know how this works? Or if there is a fail safe system in place? Also
which tank does the gauge read from, or is it a combination of both? My fear is the gauge reads from both based on
my recent fill ups. The level in the gauge and the amount of fuel added makes sense. But what if the pump between
tanks stops functioning? Could my gauge read a 1/4 tank when the engine stops running for lack of fuel because
the secondary tank still has 10 gallons of fuel, but the pump won't transfer it?
2) I was wondering the same thing. I just got my 8.1 a month ago and it has been in the shop for a week waiting on a
part (left from axle boot had a leak). In addition, my gas gauge intermittently doesn't work. I have filled up twice
and drove a few feet and the needle goes to empty, the first time it came back within 10 minutes and the last time it
still registered empty when I took it into the shop for the boot. I didn't even know there was two tanks until I picked
up my truck last night and saw that they had ordered a sender unit for the lower tank. That tells me there are
actually two sending units, but how they work together is beyond me at this point. I am also in DFW (Valley Ranch)
3) After reading the first post for the request of help on 2 tank operation, I read the 2000 Service manual. They guide
you through the replacement of the two senders, they advise that the resistance varies from 40 to 250 ohms, the
leads go thru connector C-152, BUT I cannot find a description of how the circuit truely operates.
Page 8-702 does say that :
The resistance values only reflect the specified fuel level when the signal circuits for both the primary and secondary
fuel level sensors are tied together. Will try fo find something else Sunday and will post if found.
BTW I had hoped to find something on a pump to move gas from one tank to the other - as one person mention -
but no luck. The above paragraph was found under a 39 Gallon Tank section.
Sorry to be so long, but I don't think I'm allowed to reference the other forum where these were located.

I currently own a Chevy Suburban. Maybe current owners of GMC Suburbans will get a coupon for a GMC.
The coupon is good through March 1 - June 30.
http://forums.delphi.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=GMSUV&msg=65.1&hits=1,
After all those exchanges a month or so ago about posting other links, it is a wonder anyone knows what is "acceptable" any more.
I don't think you would want to hide the electric brake controller. For safety, you need access to it for adjustment and/or manual activation.
There are correctly-spaced mounting holes provided on the bottom of the dash below the steering column (no screws needed - use 2 bolts).
The controller is very innocuous when mounted.
mail. It is good for $1000 toward a 2001 Tahoe or Suburban if purchased
between 3/1/01 and 6/30/01. Can be used with new or lease from stock
or ordered vehicle as well as with other rebate or incentives. Currently own a '99 Tahoe and have ordered a '01 2500 4WD LT 3/1/01
two hours later.. what do I receive in the mail.. yop.. the Chevy $1000 Loyalty Coupon...
since I own a '99 Suburban.. my wife's looking for a new 2001.Subn...great timing..
now the question is... should we wait for the new quarterly incentives to come out on 4/3/01 .. looking for a lease.. both Chevy & Ford quarters begin that day...
currently 36 mo residual on '01 Subn is 52%... butt the BAD point.. lease interest rate is 9.3%.. very very poor... what to do... need that Lease rate to come down at least 2 percentage points to get a decent deal... also been looking at an '01 Expedition E-B 4wd.. had one back in '97 when 24 mo. residuals were at a whopping super-good 76%.. those days are gone.. right now '01 Expedition 36 mo residual is 45% with 6% interest rate... plus $1000 cash back..
whoever makes the best deal gets it..basically same MSRP on both trucks at around $42K... sure would like my wife to use that $1000 Chevy Loyalty coupon.. we shall see.. it's her call since it's her truck.. I never ..repeat never.. tell her which one to pick.. it'll always come back to haunt ya'
thanx all for the help..

I truly believe that General Motors would rather play games than sell vehicles. What difference does it make as long as I buy a GM SUV???????
Billion Dollar Corporation with a .50 (fifty cent) mindset.
No wonder sales are off.
I spoke with a GMC dealer today that said he was ready to call a bunch of customers that had "burbs" until he read the fine print.
If you feel like I do, go to the GM website and let them know your thoughts, we the public should have some say so since we are the ones spending our $40,000 on their SUV.
if you can read the small print.. .. "...non-transferable except for someone in the same household...."..also, according to Chevy Customer Service-Incentives at 1-800-950-2438.. if you currently own a Suburban or Tahoe all you have to do is show proof at the dealership and no coupon is needed..
it appears that they won't let you switch from Chevy to GMC or vice versa... maybe if someone out there is a GMC Yukon/Suburban owner and received their coupon.. they could post what their says..
ditto....on those p-nut brains at those Big Motorhead Corporations..

Why then are so many on the dealers lots? Are all of the GM assembly plants working three shifts, seven days a week to produce these trucks? I don't think so.. Just my $0.02
Hope this helps,
