#46 of 6379 Want to compare MPG for cars & trucks? by don434 Dec 05, 2000 (6:51 pm)
The 2001 fuel economy ratings by the U.S. Department of Energy are now available on a dedicated web site at: www.fueleconomy.gov Over 800 SUV`s, minivans, light trucks and automobiles are rated. To obtain 64 miles per gallon or 48 mpg you will have to buy a Honda Insight or a Toyota Prius. These are Hybrid gasoline-electric Vehicles. SUV`s seemed to average about 18 MPG.
#47 of 6379 Steering wheel by picklesorvie Dec 05, 2000 (9:03 pm)
Our 2000 Tahoe built in Janesville in May, 2000, has a steering wheel that locks in place when the ignition is off. Orville

#49 of 6379 rear windows, and lights by 00tahoels Dec 06, 2000 (1:58 am)
I asked this question in another forum dedicated to Tahoes. It seems, as with most of you, the rear window stopped working on my truck, big surprise. Ok, after reading all of these posts, I expected it. One thing I don't understand, the lights in the truck don't turn on when unlocked via the keyless-remote. I was told about the dome-overide, which was the first thing I checked, that wasn't the cause. Sometimes the lights will turn on, and other times, they won't. No interior lights, work, however all the ext. ones do. After the car is running for a while, the lights turn on...weird. Thnx and sorry for the inconvenience

#52 of 6379 Don434 - re: Rearf view mirror adjustment by fcornay Dec 06, 2000 (4:31 am)
Don,        Does your access to technical info extend to adjustment of rear view mirrors?        The rear view mirror on the driver's side of my 2001 Suburban will not angle out far enough to avoid a blind spot on the left side. With the left cheek (facial) just brushing up against the drivers side window, the rear view mirror will not slue out far enough to look straight behind the vehicle - much less look into the adjoining lane.       Is there a mechanical adjustment that will permit the range of motion of the rear view mirror to be altered?       Your counsel and advice will be appreciated.       Sincerely,          fcornay
#53 of 6379 Re:Post 56 (fcornay) Drivers Outside Mirror by don434 Dec 06, 2000 (5:28 am)
Every now and then I feel I must remind people that I don`t have a 2000 or 2001 vehicle - so some real owners will be the finial reference. I`m just a nut who enjoys learning about general design for my 2002 Tahoe or Yukon. Will certainly review my 2000 service manual for remarks concerning mirror adjustment and report back tomorrow. My old 1992 electric mirror in my suburban had a small electric motor which turned a threaded rod to move the mirror. If someone walking by my suburban walked into the mirror quite forcefully they would jam the mirror to one extreme end of rotation. Then the normal electrical positioning switch could not move the mirror to where I could observe the rear of my truck and most of the next lane. The view I observed exactly matched what you describe. If I remember correctly I gently placed my palm of my hand to the right and left mirror edges. I then pressed the mirror on the outside left edge until I heard three or four clicks as the gear was reset. PLEASE DON`T try this YET. While I read my manual tomorrow morning some of of good buddies can respond. Maybe someone else has had need to reset the mirror adjustment threaded rod. I hope this makes sense to you. Don 434
#54 of 6379 Window Regulator Part Number - NEW ( led ) by don434 Dec 06, 2000 (5:57 am)
Hope I`m not being a pain in the rear but I think I remember cwmartin advising me that each rear window motor assembly ( regulator ) has a different part number. Could you please recheck your service sheet to be sure if they listed one or two different part numbers. They may be just one digit apart. Please advise. Don434
#55 of 6379 Hypertech Followup... by petros22 Dec 06, 2000 (6:38 am)
Well, I gave Hypertech a call and they said I had the older "revision" of the 5.3L #30003 model. So, I'm sending it back and they're either going to exchange it or reprogram it. I got my "RGA" number, whatever that stands for...I'm use to RMA. I also got the warranty under my name. The guy I got it from never registered it with Hypertech, and he made sure that it was put back to stock before he sold it. As far as the Hypertech PowerStat 160 goes, they usually cost $49 including the housing, etc. for the new Vortecs. The older model Vortecs without the housing cost around $29 I believe. All around, it was a pretty good deal considering he only had it for a couple months or so and only used it once...everything looked brand new. The only thing missing was one sticker. No tax, just shipping at cost. The best price I've seen for the HPPIII is $299, but usually $349 elsewhere it seems. So getting both for $331 wasn't too shabby. If it weren’t for the reserve set by the other bidder, I would have gotten it for less. I just out-bid her by $5 with 15 seconds remaining...talk about adrenaline rushing. The seller started at $220 for both...it ended at $325. All around, I'm happy with the purchase as long as this reprogramming works. Anybody get the Hypertech PowerStat? How did the installation go if so?
