LEVEL CONTROL on AVY?

[SpottyJ]

Is my/your 2003, Z-71 Avalanche equipped with the Level Control? And if so/or if not, how can we tell?

(The excerpt below is from page 4-54 of the Avalanche Manual)

Level Control

Self-Adjusting

The self-adjusting rear suspension is available on C/K 1500 vehicles and is available with the premium smooth ride suspension package.

This type of level control will provide a leveled riding position as well as improved handling under a variety of passenger and loading conditions. A hydraulic pump inside each rear shock absorber raises the rear of the vehicle to the proper height, based on inputs from the road surface, while the vehicle is being driven. It takes approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) of driving for the leveling to complete, depending on the road surface conditions.

If the loaded vehicle is not moved for approximately 12 hours, the leveling system may bleed down to a lower height. This can be especially apparent if a trailer is left attached to a parked vehicle for long periods of time. The vehicle must be driven to re-level the vehicle. If a self-equalizing hitch is being used, the vehicle should be driven approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) with the trailer prior to adjusting (leveling) the hitch.

That's included on the Z66 models...

Those of us with a Z71 or NON-Z Av don't have it....

"Premium smooth ride suspension package" is another name for Z66.

So, just like CraigF said, Z66 has it, but not any of the other models.
