This bulletin is being revised to update the model information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 01-08-44-008 (Section 08 -- Body and Accessories).


This bulletin is being issued to inform dealers that effective with vehicle production in May 1, 2001 (C/K models and Avalanche) and August 1, 2001 (M/L models) and start-of-production (Escalade EXT), the above listed vehicles are being shipped with a new fluorescent orange plastic antenna wrench as part of the antenna.

During pre-delivery inspection, the dealers are to hand tighten the antenna plus an additional 1/4 turn using the supplied wrench. The wrench then can be removed from the antenna and placed in the vehicle's glove box.

The replacement antenna mast currently available from GMSPO is also supplied with this wrench.
