Driver mirror adjustment...... by subliminal
Dec 06, 2000 (4:43 pm)
Reply


I have been driving trucks for 20 years and the 00 Sub driver mirror does not adjust to where you want it to be (which is also where I want it to be). I believe it is a function of 1) the narrow (IMHO) height of the mirror and 2) it does not adjust "out" far enough.


A convex spot mirror helps alot (I have always used these on both sides of all my trucks anyway, helps you see the motocycles especially). I use a 1 inch on the driver side, stuck on the right side of the lowest point on the mirror (ends up almost in the bottom middle on the Sub).


Good luck,


Subliminal

Interior Temp control by thbarrett

Well, after owning the 01 tahoe for 12 days, it was in the shop for 6 days. I have one with the new climate control. On manual the heat won't maintain what I set it at. As soon as some warm air comes in, the unit than reverts to cool air. Anyone else had any trouble?


It was nice of GM to give me a rental, but the rental was something most of us would not want to drive. I think the engine on the rental was from a singer sewing machine. After the 4th try to fix the problem and changing out everything, I called G.M. for a case #. I was lucky to be able to meet with the service Mgr. and the district guru. They both agreed there was a problem. When I started talking about a BUY BACK, you would have thought they were both on the olympic back stroking team.


Come this Friday they are flying in a super guru tech from Michigan to look at my problem, and if I believe that one I should be looking to buy a bridge somewhere in Az. Will let you all know what happens. Here in Ca. it has already qualified for the buy back lemon law, and I plan on pressing that issue if they can't fix it this next time. Sorry for the long post, but needless to say I am &$#.

remote starter installation by davecrook1

The wife wants a remote starter installed on the 2000 Yukon for those -20 degree days. I contacted the dealer who,not surprisingly,warned of voiding the warranty. The installer (Add-On Accessories)has installed hundreds of these things and,off the record,the GMC salesman says that many of his customers have had them installed. Have any of you installed remote starters-particularly those made by DesignTech? If so,any problems? Thanks.

Yukon Performance in deep snow by davecrook1
Dec 06, 2000 (7:43 pm)

We have yet to experience any deep snow here in VT since purchasing the Yukon in June. I am looking at these tires and wondering if they'll "cut it"when we have deep snow. Particularly since the wife has to drive 1.5 hours to work and MUST be there. I'm considering purchasing some Nokian Hakkepellitas for the Yukon for winter use. We've had them on previous vehicles and they are a terrific winter tire. Does anybody have any experience yet in deep snow with these Firestone Wilderness tires? Thanks

Brush Guards by jdh8

Everyone on this list has provided really great information and really helped me make an informed purchase. I've had my 2000 2wd Yukon for 5 months now. I need to ask your assistance on another issue - I'm considering buying brush guards for my rig. I have a few questions that I'd like to ask peoples' input on:


1) Does anyone know for sure the actual effects of installing brush guards on the operation/effectiveness of air bags?


2) For those folks with 2000 Yuks/Hoes/Burbs/XLs, what brands of brush guards have you bought, and how much have you paid? (I'm interested in black for my Pewter truck - what's the difference between matte finish and other finishes?)


3) How difficult is it to install the different brands you all have bought? Is it something that I can do, or do I need to go to a dealer or pro?


4) What about taillight guards - what products have people gone with for these? I've got cargo doors, so I'm not sure if I can even install taillight guards... do they require drilling?


I would really appreciate any input that people who have brush guards on their rigs could provide on each of these questions - and on any other concerns...


Currently at the top of my list are the FieldSport Brush Bars at Overlander.com for $449... what are your thoughts?


Thanks all, in advance... if you wish to email me, send it to jhessbest-in-class.com

2 Rear window motors #'s by led
Dec 06, 2000 (11:50 pm)

Yes, you are correct about the two different motor numbers.


Right side window Regulator #15757401


Left side window Regulator #15757400


BTW if anyone in the Houston area bought their Suburban or Tahoe at Mac Haik Chevy; they will replace the rear window motors in your driveway while you wait. (It takes about 30 minutes)

Based upon the part numbers you gave, you must have either a Suburban or Yukon XL because those are the same part numbers that are listed on the defects page of my web site at http://suv.s5.com

Side view mirror adjustment by fcornay

Don434 - Thanks for the all of your research on this problem and for the information you provided in your post #57 and post #62. I did try to gently press on the mirror glass but did not get the expected rachet action. Removing the glass does not look to be an easy option. Cannot really get a finger or two behind the glass. Perhaps this is one of the things that we must live with.


subliminal - Thanks for the tip on use of convex spot mirrors. It may be that this will help the situation.


    Sincerely,
       fcornay
