frito said:Did I miss something? When did you get an Avalanche? I saw you mention driving your old explorer until you address the head issue in the EXT. Maybe the time change has me a bit squirrelly than usual.
I still have the Explorer until next Sunday.
We are selling (for not very much) the Explorer to one of my wife's co-workers for one of his twin sons.
The boy's current car is a grandparent's hand me down rust bucket that spends more time broken than running.
I think the Explorer should be a nice upgrade and he is excited to come get it.
I hope it works out well for him.
The Avalanche is one that I have been trying to buy for almost 10 years now.
The timing was right for both parties and the price was good for me.
Now, I have a more reliable daily driver while I wait to get the new engine installed in the EXT and having it should buy me some time.
Once the EXT is fixed, the Avalanche will become primarily our family spare, taking the place of the Explorer.
However, since it is such a nice truck, I may swap daily driving between the Avalanche and the EXT to keep from adding too many miles to each.
At this point, I am feeling really blessed.
I've been a little busy of late, but I am thinking of tossing up a thread for the Avalanche with some pictures and maybe document some of the minor repairs and refurbishments I do.
