Well I hate to say it but the o3 2500 Avalanche is gone. Trader her in for a 2007 White 900T Platform 2500 Crewcab Longbed Duramax/Allison setup. I was thinking classic 800T but decided I needed an interior change. Same inside for 5 or so years. Can't remember if the two 2002 I had was like 2003 interior or not other than the embroider seats. Anyways I had my local dealer print out ones around in the area and over the weekend I decided on at least one. Called Monday and by noon they said they were going after it Tuesday. The driver was back late so seen it in the back lot Wednesday morning. Started it up and sounded so sweet. After work gave it a test drive and signed Thursday. Added on a new product that was no going to need me to wax it for 5 years. I said I was leaving Saturday for Florida. No problem They rushed through Friday morning. Quit about noon and started loading for Florida. Saturday morning off to Florida.
So 10 days later and 2250 miles it is a dream. I thought I would regret the lose of the Avy but not as bad as with draws as expected. One day I will get another and if lucky the one i traded in.
Left the sail panel LEDs intact other than it is unplugged from the wiring harness I made. Left the stainless letters and 8100 decals on her. Also the yellow driving lights and painted engine cowl cover was left as well. Oh yeah pictures of her for memories. Everything else off. About a 4 hour job with what I had on her. One reason I was not in a hurry to trade. I knew the work I put into her.
Oh by the way Butch I am taking 2 weeks off of work. 10 down and 6 to go. Longest time off of work since back in 94 when I was off 3 weeks between layoff to next job on the bench. Actually I could have gone back the next day but said I needed time off. Had been working 7 years before with little off time between jobs if any.
I will pop in from time to time and keep uptodate with the Avy seen. Maybe pop in a few local meets.
It been fun fellow Avalanchers.
