#3 of 6387 Welded Door Hinge Replacement by don434 Dec 03, 2000 (7:31 pm)
Tried before to find something on how to replace welded door hinges but failed. While trying to find a picture of rear A.C. Drain hose for CW I came across Page 8-1508 = Collision Repair. It details a step by step procedure to remove and replace the old welded hinges. If someone still needs this procedure I`ll post a summary of the step by step. Please advise. Don434
#4 of 6387 Cliffore -Drain Hose-Rear A.C. by don434 Dec 03, 2000 (8:48 pm)
There are about 15 pages of assembly/disassembly instructions on the rear A.C. and Heater Assembly. No where did it tell me to do anything with a drain hose or drain connection. The drawings do show a short item that protrudes thru the floor between the two heater hoses. If you slide under the rear bumper area you will notice four connections going thru the floor. The rear two are the air conditioning pipes. Inboard of these two and more forward are two heater hose connections. Directly between these two hoses the drawings show a short cone shaped nozzle. Sorry that no where do they specify this item but I think it must be the drain. If you find this item please DO NOT force a sharp object very far upward since the Evaporator coil is directly above this point - BE GENTLE. Please advise if you find that this is the drain so I can mark up my service manual and notify GM of my 24th manual correction. I think I now know why the 2001 Service Manual is so very late. It`s because they did such a poor job on the 2000 Service Manual. At least they will have a better product - I hope.
#5 of 6387 Rear a/c drain tube by picklesorvie Dec 03, 2000 (9:43 pm)
The part of the vinyl/rubber drain tube on our Tahoe that can be seen from underneath the vehicle is approximately 1 and 1-2 inches long. It is approximately 3/8 inch in diameter and round where the upper end goes through a cross-member support. On the lower end the item is shaped so that the sides are parallel to each other and there is only a very small opening. The item is to the inner side of the a/c tubes that go through the floor pan. Our vehicle does not have a rear heater core. Orville

thanks for the info on the door welds. I'll look it up tonight...I knew it was in there, just couldn't find it...or didn't look long enough...
#7 of 6387 Windows by 2001burbman Dec 04, 2000 (4:38 am)
My 2001 Suburban LS has just over 6000 miles and my rear driver side power window just quit. When it first happened both rear windows would not respond. The passenger side window starting working again right away, but the driver side won't budge. For those of you that have had yours fail and then fixed, have they been okay after the fix? Will this be a pain in the neck reoccuring problem or once it is fixed it is fine? Second topic: What does everone think of the Pennzoil Multigrade oil with Purebase. The brochure talks about many of the pluses that I have heard others on this conference talk about when recommending Mobil 1. Since my Chevy dealer is using Pennzoil do you think they would us Mobil 1 if I requested it or will they give me some bs about it voiding warranty? Thanks....

#8 of 6387 Poll cwmartin by figmoman Dec 04, 2000 (4:40 am)
Cliff, an interesting poll to do or mayby some of out participents could include in their posts is their average milage by dividing the run hours available at the odometer site into there vehicle milage. Mine works out to 39.3 MPH Mike
#9 of 6387 Windows 2001 burbman by figmoman Dec 04, 2000 (4:49 am)
Bill, both my rears have failed. It takes a while for the dealer to get them. While waiting for my first one to come in the second one failed. I have read other posts where the replaced ones are failing too. I intend to wait until they re-engineer these things So i don't make unessesary trips and wear and tear on the door panels. Im sure someone on this site will post when new part numbers on these motors come out. An other GM wonder. Mike
#11 of 6387 Brake wear by figmoman Dec 04, 2000 (5:05 am)
I just rotated my Wilderness LE's for the second time tonight with 19,100 miles on them. Very little wear showing and its even wear. Im impressed at the brake wear(or lack of). The front pads don't appear to have any reduced thickness. The backs are a little thiner. This is interesting because the backs will usually last longer. These trucks must be engineered to have the rears do more braking as the rears are actually bigger than the fronts. All the cars ive had, the reverse has been true. Extrapolating from what i see at this milage i think i can get mayby 60 to 75 thousand out of the rears and 100 thousand out of the fronts. I am easy on brake though.
