Don't live in Alaska anymore but once an Alaskan, always an Alaskan.  Living in Bellevue Wa now but I hope to get back up one of these days.  Just bought my first Avy, an 02 NFE.
 
Went to school at UAA for air traffic control. Live in Cali.  Was just picked up by the FAA for anchorage center.  Soon to be AK avy!  Btw we should all detail our trucks and park together at fur randivous! 

See you soon.

Welcome Rymn, I am up in Fairbanks but do go to Anchorage a few times a year. I hope you get up here in time to enjoy some of our summer!
 
Hello all,

Checking in. We bought our Avalanche Jan 2012.

It has been a good vehicle so far. Just a few annoyances like
rattling in the dash on the passenger side and dash trim ring.
The Tach is starting to stick so I may upgrade it to a Escalade
one from that gauge guy. I replaced the worn out Bilstiens with
Rancho RS5000's and it runs alot smoother now, especially with
20's.

Just browsing common issues and looking at example mods for
now.

We are on Dowling in Anchorage.
 
:welcome: to the club ak_inshok we have a few members up your way.

Arctic retractable extention cord
studded tires
seat warmers
I'm sensing a trend......
