New Members Say Hello & Post Here First

Hello, HarryTheDog here where it has been a torrid Arizona summer! Happy to be footloose and fancy-free at the beginning of autumn.

I'm having some issues with my 2003 Avalanche, 5.3L Z71 which I'll discuss in my first post. Hopefully someone a lot smarter and much more knowledgable about engines than I will be able to help.

I purchased my baby new in February of 2003 from Van Chevrolet in Scottsdale and have loved every minute of owning it. Never really had any major issues with it. The fuel pump died about a year or so after my purchase and the Cat converted plugged up on me at about 90K miles. Other than that it has been a solid and steady ride all the way up to my current 161K.

Looking forward to following things is this group...
 
Hello from the swampy jungles of South East Texas!

Bought my '06 Z71 4x4 L59 ZFlex as a demo, and there were plenty of '07s on the lot. I preferred the front suspension on the '06. Still love it, probably keep it forever if I can keep her running good. 167K and counting. Will be buying a 4th set of tires very soon.

It's stock, except for the high volume oil pump which I replaced while addressing the oil pickup tube o-ring issue.

Great to see so many owners and enthusiasts!
Cheers! ?
 
Hello from Manitoba, Canada. I used to have a 2003 Avalanche but traded it for a 2010 Equinox. Missed the Av so much that after 2 years I bought another one, an ’04 Z71 4x4. Nice to be in an Avalanche again. Looking forward to to accessing the wealth of information on this forum.
 
hello from Central Illinois. I'm actually a Jeep Wrangler owner that has another kid on the way, so the little Wrangler has to go, and hopefully the cards will land right so I can get an Avalanche as its replacement. I've liked the look of the Avalanches from the day they came out. my vehicle before the Wrangler was a Colorado crew cab, (so a mid size Avalanche, as far as already being accustomed to the short bed). looking forward to gaining some knowledge here. my first post was actually asking about a couple different Avalanches that are for sale near me currently.
 
New Av owner, 2003 Z71 only 97K miles, I'm now the second owner. Very happy to say the least. Love the site, lots of great info, will be doing a quite a few things I found on the site I'll post up when I can and what I've done, and do.
