I figured the older threads haven't reflected the most current numbers out here in PA. I figure a roll call is in order so I can get a better idea of how many PA'ers represent CAFCNA. (y)
Thanks Everyone.

I'll start with me Old No.7 Avalanche
Long Pond PA
4 miles from the Pocono Speedway. (y)
 
Back and forth between houses in Pittsburgh and State College, frequent weekends in Mount Carmel where I grew up.

Ovalbore, off topic question.. lol Did you just buy the Av in your profile photo? I was looking at an 04 SOM with 17in XD's and Nitto Trail M/T's last week.. It was in Chambersburg PA and bears an identical look to yours..  :laugh:

Really liked it, but was hesitant to call as I am looking for one with a console and captains chairs up front..

I sure did >:D haha. That's the one. It was at Forrester Lincoln. Traded in my Silverado 2500 on it. I've had it for a week now and they still haven't taken it off their site. I originally walked away from it because it didn't have the Bose stereo but ended up going back and buying it. Love the truck, can't say the same about the dealer. Told me it "doesn't have the Bose but the radio sounds really nice". Turns out the rears and the driver speakers were blown.

Just leaves room for the first MODs  >:D That truck is sweet. It looked so clean in the photos.. If i hadn't wanted a console with the digital climate control it would have been perfect!! Hope to see you at a PA gtg soon??? We go to Volant on November 8th  :D

It is pretty nice but it's got some problems too. The light sensor on the dash apparently doesn't work (headlights on all the time when running. It was knocked down inside the dash when I bought it & I put it back where is supposed to be this morning and still doesn't work), Driver's window control switch works but rockers are worn out pretty bad, and a piece of cladding is loose. I'm going to try to make it to Volant (wife/babysitter permitting). It's an 8 hour/450 mile round trip for me.

Thats a bit of a haul! Sounds like just a few little things to be done to the truck to make it perfect  (y)

Just in case you haven't had time to look, here are a few good links!

Light sensor:

The window switch varies, Dorman makes a replacement for it!

That's not to bad of a drive, try doing that 1 way. 16+hrs and 950 miles, that's a long trip for one day.
