CIC Data Base Inquiry
Reference No. 124
1992-00 GM Yukon and Escalade
R&I Front Fender Flare (Denali package)
  Date of Request: August 17, 2001
Original Date Posted: Sept. 6, 2001

CIC Reference No. 124

Data Providers: Mitchell International, MOTOR Information Services, ADP Claims Solutions Group
Original Time Allowance:
    Mitchell–Right fender 2.0 hrs; Left fender 1.5 hrs
    MOTOR–Right fender 0.3 hrs; Left fender 0.3 hrs
    ADP– (see below)

Issue:
  1. MOTOR–Has not recognized that the fender must be completely removed to facilitate the removal of the flare.
  2. Mitchell–Time allowance for left fender insufficient

Note: When removing both front fender flares, Hood must also be removed.


Suggestion:
  1. MOTOR–Include the time allowance to R&I the fender
  2. MOTOR–Offer detailed "labor text note."
  3. Mitchell–Increase the time for the left fender to match the time allowance for the right. Removing an undamaged fender to facilitate the removal of the fender flare requires additional cautionary measures, that otherwise would not be required. (Mitchell's labor text note for this operation is complete, except for including the time to R&I the front bumper which must be extracted from the P-pages)
Response:
  • Mitchell– Left fender requires removal of wire harness and brackets. Time has been adjusted to 2.0 hrs to reflect this.
  • MOTOR – MOTOR: (DR1GC92) Updated the labor time on the fender flare to 0.5 hours with footnote "Time is after fender is removed."
  • ADP–ADP provides the R & I time for the fender on the Cadillac Escalade and 1992 - 1999 GMC Yukon. Per the current GM procedure information, the R & I of the fender is not required for the flare replacement on 2000 - 2002 models. ADP does not provide the R & I of the fender for the 2000 and newer models because of GM's recommendation.
Results/Change:
Mitchell Aug. 17, 2001 Left fender requires removal of wire harness and brackets. Time has been adjusted to 2.0 hrs to reflect this.
MOTOR . .
ADP Aug. 22, 2001 No change.
