www.gmfleet.com/us/acquiring/vehicinfo/vehicle_showroom/vehicles/04ChevroletAvalanche.html

New for 2004 Model Year:

* Stabilitrak vehicle stability enhancement system standard with Premium On-Road Suspension Package
* Tire pressure monitor is standard
* Hydro-Boost Brakes now standard on 1500 series models
* Four exterior colors: Dark Blue Metallic, Silver Birch, Sunburst Orange and Sport Red Metallic

I also thought that the rumor was the 1500 was going to have an engine option of the 6L?

Yellow_Lab · Jul 2, 2003

Is the Yellow color still an option

? Or did they replace it with one of the new four mentioned above?

TXAVy · Jul 2, 2003

Last I heard Yellow is supposedly not an option for 2004, so it only lived for half of a model year.

Arrival Blue is going away also, so it joins Indigo Blue as only having survived for 1 model year.

Yellow_Lab · Jul 2, 2003

Looks like there are only a few lucky ones (or unlucky- depending on your taste) with the Yellow and the Blue.

I have not seen another Yellow WBH in the Phoenix area yet driving.....I am glad.....but it may be telling me something

Good......no yellow in 2004.
thank you

I saw a YELLOW Av yesterday at Third and Wyoming Ave here in Phily with a ladder on the roof rack

ASAGOT · Jul 30, 2003

Wonder if any of the new stuff (brakes and tire pressure monitor) can be retro-fitted?

Lockout · Jul 31, 2003

Did you guys see the deletions for 2004?

Model CC25936
Exterior color (11U) Pewter Metallic
Exterior color (43U) Yellow
Exterior color (71U) Sunset Orange Metallic
(NG1) New York and Vermont state requirements
(QIZ) Tires, LT245/75R16E, all-season, blackwall
Passenger side door lock cylinder
Glovebox lighting
(PDQ) Personal Security Package
(Y92) The North Face Edition package

They are getting rid of the passenger side door lock, and they got rid of the glove box lighting in 2003 (unless I got ripped off)

WCFields · Jul 31, 2003

LockOut,

I've got an 03 and it does have a lighted glove box. Go figure!

DOB around 9/23/02, took delivery 5/29/03.

I suspect the PDQ will get folded in as standard with the DIC and steering wheel controls, and side impact bags.

Oops, you got me. :-[

I had assumed it was something new for 2004, and didn't think to look at old posts. But then again, if it was new for 2004, how could it be deleted in 2004?

I've been under the weather this week, and my brain has obviously already shut down for the night. I need to heavily medicate myself, go to bed, and try again tomorrow.

Thank you for the answer.

rapid-richard · Jul 31, 2003

no for 2004 the 1500 Does not have the 6.0L for a motor not even an option (I wish it was) but they did pump up the 5.3 it now has 295 horse power vs the 2002-2003 285 horse power

I was wondering the same thing...

For the glove compartment light... I never noticed it, but now I'm going to have to check. :E:

ASAGOT · Aug 1, 2003

To increase the horsepower in 2004 the y removed the glove compartment light.

JETMECH · Aug 4, 2003

Well I had to go look and see if I had the glove box lite on my 03 built 5/03.

I do I do.

Drive a 8.1L, you willsee what horse power is >:D

And with all that power you can pass everything but a gas station.

TLB · Aug 4, 2003

It all depends what you use your AV for, if you use it like a car or you use it for towing like I do you will see a big difference between the 5.3 and the 8.1.

I got rid of my 02 5.3 for this very reason, not enough towing power.

And you might also come to understand the true meaning of your sig. >:D

Some day's the fuel gauge moves this fast!

Can anyone confirm that the '04s will have electronic tire pressure monitors as standard equipment? I haven't seen the info anywhere on the Chevy website.

Pulled this off of the features/safety area of chevy's website. I don't know if it's the same thing, but it's all I saw.
Hope it helps.
