Avalanche Karma

JDEANZ · Nov 10, 2003

Just browsing the board here and reading about everyone's Av problems, I wanted to stop and give the Av some good karma for a change.

No rear end noise, cracked rear window trim, brake failure, saggy panels, faded cladding, transmission problems, front end vibration, random squeeking or clicking noises, etc.... happening here. Almost 10,000 mles and my Av is still running like new! (Knock On Wood)

18,000 miles, zero problems.

It is a Supermobile!

midlifecrisis · Nov 11, 2003

I guess Supermobile gives the Av a "singing" recommendation.....

whitethunder · Nov 11, 2003

2002 2500 would not turn it in for a new one!

I've had a couple minor problems BUT MY DOGS SAY FOUR PAWS UP DADDY. They love to go "crusin" all you have to do is say the C word and their at the door waggin their nubs (thier rotties, no tails). they each have thier own window and sit on the same side every time. So I too would have to say THIS IS AN AWESOME TRUCK.

THE DUCK

and I did not pay ANYTHING. yes you saw it ANYTHING NOTHING NOTA
I have a 2002 just under 30K in miles. I got the truck 19 June 2001.
The only bad thing I can say bad about the Av is It must suck to drive a F**d latey.
going in for The rubber on the bed lids cracked and strong sound of wind from passenger door.
That too will be free to replace

24,000k + in not even a year :-[

My major issue was the 4WD malfuntion headache...seems to hopefully be behind me.

Love my truck. Just this morning I was noticing how great it was running...seemed extra powerful today, and I have no idea why. Was a little cool out today, so maybe that was it. Whatever, I'm keeping it till it's dead :B:

I have had my AV for 2yrs, 4months, 42K. I have had many problems:
Broken Defrosters in side mirrors
Broken Sun-Roof, Had to be replaced
Rattling noise from frontend passenger side engine compartment, air conditioning hoses moved, took 7+ visits to fix totally
Rear and Front rotors defective, have to be replaced. Rears replaced under warranty, except for pads and labor I pay $230, it takes 2+ weeks to fix; fronts replaced aftter warranty, I pay $140 for pads and labor, it takes 2hours max
Crack in rear window, replaced under warranty
Condensation on inside of Fog/DRL lamp assembly on both sides, both replaced under warranty

Even after all these problems, I still love my AV

. It is definitely the best truck that I have ever owned.

Only problem in 1 yr 1 mo. 15k miles was the creaking in front end almost since new. Had it fixed this week (crossmember).

JDEANZ · Sep 28, 2004

Alright......... I had to bump this thread up to the top again considering the thread from james21 popped up with "Who Has Had The Most Problems With Their AV", and remembering that around about a month ago there was a thread from a guy who decided NOT to buy an AV because of all the problems he read about the AV on this site.

I have to admit, after 22,000 miles, I finally had to take my AV in once for the front crossmember noise, but other than that, I still love the AV and wouldn't give it up for anything else (and I know james21 wouldn't either, although he might like to have a DIFFERENT AV)

I traded my '02 Avalanche for a loaded '04 Avalanche, my only regret is I did not keep my '02
