dsp: painting textured items by picklesorvie
Dec 07, 2000 (3:40 pm)

The head of the paint department at the dealership where I trade has indicated that it is not a good idea to paint the textured items. That is why I ordered smooth handles to be painted for our 2000 Tahoe LS. Orville

My experience with the wrong bumper part tells it all. You can not paint that stuff. GM has paintable parts. It's just a pain to get them. Is there an issue with buying aftermarket?

Window Failures by _4u2candnv

Does anyone have a problem with either of the front windows. I have a 2000 Suburban. Both my rear windows failed back in July. Had the motors replaced (Don't recall numbers). Within 5 days, they both stopped working again. I figured it wouldn't do any good to bring it back it and have it fixed with bad motors so I decided to wait before taking it back it. Meanwhile, my front passenger window has now stopped working. I guess I use that window more than I thought because this one really bugs me. Looks like its going in Monday.

Has anyone installed a reverse senor on the tahoe? Either Ultrasonic or Sonar based. Which brand, pricing and where did you find it? I bumped into my bros minivan, luckily no damage on either car. thanks in advance.

Fog Lamp/Rear Wiper Problem by cwmartin
Dec 07, 2000 (9:27 pm)

I heard back from the shop foreman at Northpoint Chevrolet about the problem with my Yukon and the rear wiper doing a quick engage/disengage whenever I turn on the fog lamps.


Unfortunately GM will not a let a Chevy Dealer do warranty repair work on a GMC Yukon, so I have to take the truck to a GMC dealer. The good part is that Northpoint Chevrolet did open a case number with the GM Dealer Technical Assistance center and they did give some things to look at about the problem.


The technical assistance center said to:
1)Reference Electrical Schematic 8-250
2)Clean Star Washer inside the mechanism
3)Check voltage drop on Pin Connection E


So now, I will find a GMC service center and give them this information and hope they can fix the problem.


Hope the information helps out other people with same problem. I will make another post if I find out more information.

I forgot to mention that I was told that there wasn't a TSB on this problem yet. It takes lots of cases to be filed with the Technical Assistance center to generate a TSB. So if you have this same problem, get your dealer to file a case with the Technical Assistance center, so eventually a TSB will be created.

brush/tail light guards by jdh8

does anyone (besides Ryan - thanks for the help Ryan) have any input on brush guards/tail light guards for a 2000 Yukon with cargo doors? I'm thinking about going with Waag's... what are the best prices people have been getting? I'm not sure if they even make a tail light guard that would fit on a truck with cargo doors.

I have done extensive research and believe the system below is my best bet. The information below was from their technician:


Our system detect down to 8 inches. At this point, you will hear a very very rapid beeping. The digital display will show "hit".


We use Ultrasonic sensors. The sensors can be mounted on the bumper or underneath the bumper depending on your vehicle.


Our system will detect stationary or moving obstacles.


You can get more information and purchase our system at:

(fcornay) Side Mirror Adjustment.I` by don434
Dec 07, 2000 (11:48 pm)

I`m very thankful for great guys like (subliminal)
since they have the product - all I can do is report what the year 2000 service manual says.


GM must have had a couple of "make it cheaper" experts redesign the good mirror design they had in the 1992`s. I can line that mirror up so that while siting normally behind the wheel I see the following. On the extreme right mirror surface I see only my rear bumper and vehicles behind me about a car length back. The rest of the mirror shows the adjacent lane to my left. The mirror will still adjust further to the left but I don`t need that much coverage to change lanes.
Had my brother drop by the local Chev. lot today. He looked at my mirror first - poped out the glass to see the adjustment and glass movement screws-and then surveyed the year 2000 models on the lot. They are nothing like my units. He could press on ether end - the mirror moved without any noise and he said that such little pressure was required that he doesn`t see how they stay in adjustment. Apparently they do though since no one has reported this problem (won`t hold adjustment). All we now have is a stupid design that won`t allow us to see the passing vehicles properly.Way to go GM.
