#16 of 6387 fclspat: Fog Lights by cwmartin Dec 04, 2000 (2:20 pm)
They do add a little extra light, but definity not as much light as one would expect if they were supposed to be 'driving' lights. I find they give extra light to the sides and give a wider field of view. Clifford
#17 of 6387 Brakes.... by selman Dec 04, 2000 (2:32 pm)
My TransAm(4 wheel disc) wears the rear brakes faster than the fronts as well. The rear pads are a little less thick than the fronts when new, but I would think the braking system puts more emphasis on the rear brakes for what ever reason. May have something to do with the ABS. Either way, I thought it was kind of strange the first time I went to do a brake job. I assumed it was the fronts that were starting to squeel but it was the rear set. To date, replace rear set twice front set once. Scott Replies to this message: engineer1 (Jul 18, 2004 6:47 am)

Had both rear window motors replaced not too long ago. No problems YET with the new ones. The new motors were the same part number as the original so I would imagine it's just a matter of time. Scott Replies to this message: superhosemike (Oct 29, 2004 5:34 pm)
#19 of 6387 Fog Lights by mpanek Dec 04, 2000 (2:40 pm)
On one foggy morning I put on the famous fog lights, knowing it was not helping me but maybe with 4 lights facing forward someone else could see me better. When I got home from the 20 minute trip, I only had 3 lights facing forward, one of the cheap fog light bulbs exploded. dealer gave me a new bulb under warranty, but they are just a novelity that I think I will avoid using.

#20 of 6387 Got my new Yukon (finally) by koithan Dec 04, 2000 (3:42 pm)
After waiting through a very long order process (ordered in July), I finally took home my Pewter 4wd ISD Yukon. So far I love it. It is cool to see over even other SUVs on the road. It rides nice (for a truck) and is very comfortable. Thx for all the tips! Replies to this message: airtahoe (Jun 04, 2006 9:13 am)

Has anyone updated their onboard computer for the transmission clunk and if so, has there been any improvement? Bill
#22 of 6387 Oil Consumption While Towing by rickhess Dec 04, 2000 (4:49 pm)
I just returned from a trip to Florida with my 2000 Suburban, 4 X 4, 5.3 L, 4.10 rear with a 6630 lb (dry weight) trailer in tow. With trailer and vehicle loaded, I am sure I was still under the 8800 lb rated towing capacity of the vehicle. I checked the oil before the 1100 mile trip from PA to FL, and it was full. When I arrived in FL, 1100 miles later, it took two quarts of oil to bring the level to full on the dipstick. This was after driving all the way in tow/haul mode in 3rd gear, 60-70 mph, with engine speeds from 2900-3200 rpm. On the way home, I consumed slightly more than 1 quart, but limited my cruising speed to 65 mph (2900 rpm). I averaged a little over 10 mpg for the trip down and up I-95. Prior to the trip, I was watching the oil level and can extrapolate a consumption of about 1 quart per 3000-4000 non-towing miles, which I thought was acceptable. My Suburban has 10,200 miles on it now. I was shocked that I consumed 3 quarts of oil in 2200 miles of towing. However, the vehicle ran fine throughout the trip. Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I expect oil consumption to increase dramatically under heavy towing conditions? In any case, it is hard for me to believe that this oil consumption is normal. I assume (hope) that oil consumption will return to the previously observed non-towing rate of 1 quart per 3000-4000 miles. Is this even normal for an almost new vehicle? Any comments would be appreciated. Rick
#23 of 6387 Radio security by grunt5 Dec 04, 2000 (5:19 pm)
For the third time in 9 mos my 00Yukons radio has had to be reset due to SEC message. Any body deal with service dept on this issue? Intermittents can be a bear to deal with. Just a nuisance. Replies to this message: 01tahoelt (Jan 06, 2005 10:59 am)
#24 of 6387 Transmission clunk by mrfish64 Dec 04, 2000 (5:46 pm)
I had my 3/4 in for cluncking while towing after it got hot. 200 degrees. They reprogramed and recalibrated. Now shifts hard between 3rd and 4th but seems to be getting better. I think it is re-learing itself. Been 4 days. I havnt towed again yet. Dont have the ice breaker on my boat.
#25 of 6387 Oil Consumption by selman Dec 04, 2000 (9:09 pm)
I was told by the service department that some oil consumption problems in the 5.3L motors were due to bad PCV valves. Seemed that the problem was pretty pronounced, over a quart per thousand miles without towing a load. Don't know if this will help but thought I'd pass it on. Scott
