3 hours....lol buy a tent
They say in the description where i could find it for sale that it's supposed to take only 15 mins for setup. I call Bologna!3 hours....lol buy a tent
Man, that would be so satisfying to repaint and reseal.
Jeeze hope you had an anchor you could throw out window attached to hitch if you needed it...Nursed it down to the mechanic with leaking rear brake line. Somebody was looking out for me as I managed to make every light which is about as rare as winning the lottery.
I first drove it up and down my ski slope of a driveway to make sure I could whoa it down enough. I had enough front brakes to make it and of course left a LOT more following distance than I normally would. I also downshifted to slow down.Jeeze hope you had an anchor you could throw out window attached to hitch if you needed it...
That was lucky...
Today mine was left at my shop. Getting a bath lolHey Avalanche fans, I just picked up (not literally ) an 07 AV. Used to have a Yukon years ago and had to get back to GM truck experience.
Thought I would try to see who's doing what to their AV daily. If this is already a post, I missed it and will delete this if necessary. Otherwise . . . . . What did you do to your AV today?
I was surprised how it stopped. I guess since the front brakes still had fluid and a bit of pressure it was able to stop going forward. At this point, I'm going to have them do most of the other work too. I'm just so fed up and need to take some weekend time to relax instead of fight stubborn parts. I'd probably be singing a different tune if I had a lift but spending so much time on the floor the past few months has negatively impacted my overall mood.I'm not sure I would have drove it there, but once you get it back on the road you'll find it much easier to complete the rest of the work needed.
I was going to mention that, maybe have them do the complete control arms. Everything else is easy.I was surprised how it stopped.

I'll still probably do the POR15 thing, Corrosion Free and easier items like replacing the spare tire and hoist, but I'm not futzing with the front suspension like I was originally planning. I'll leave that to the folks with a lift.
If it's to the point where it's rounded out, you'll have to be committed to removing it by drilling it and using a bolt extractor to get it out of there.
Then toss it and install a new one.
Alternatively, some guys tack weld a bolt or socket to the end of the plug and use that instead. You just have to be careful not to weld the threads to each other. xD
Or deal with it as-is. There can be some other solutions, but these are the most universal that i know of
noticed your foil above where did you find it and the side panels? any more pics of the foil?14 years and still sticking on.

Used the Avalanche to move my sailboat and also hold it stable while I raised the mast and main sail to check my rigging.

It was Refinish Restorer product that I used. Have not tried Cerakote Trim Restore. I now use it on my Camaro since all my cladding is painted.I finished the panels! I decided to glue the weatherstrips on with Window Weld, which for those who don’t know, is the stuff that sets your windshield glass into the car. The stuff is urethane and tough as nails. If this fails to seal, I risk ruining the weatherstripping but the panels should clean up nice again. Anyway here is the results, and like I said above, panel #1 needs a bit more help.
