My friend, Tom Hanel, who is the mayor of Big Timber, Montana and an Avalanche owner sent me the following e-mail:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve,
How are you doing? I have some bad news, my son and I went to Denver this weekend for the Bronco game and the Avalanche used almost 3 quarts of oil
(1,200 miles).
I called my dealer from Wyoming (he knowing that it has been using oil) and it sounds like a new engine will be necessary? I had hoped it would stop by now with 6K miles on it however it hasn't.
I am very disappointed. I sometimes think I should have bought the diesel? Just thought I would let you know, I will keep you informed on how it all goes bye for now - take care,
Tom
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys, does anyone have a suggestion for Tom? He e-mailed me about a month ago that his AV smoked at startup, but apparently the oil-burning has now gotten totally out of control.
New 5.3 engine?
Anyway, Tom and I would like your input. Thanks
Steve Timm
