I do not envy you in this regard.
If I find the Avalanche rear shocks are in need of replacement, I am inclined to replace them with OEM NIVOMAT shocks and if more lift is required to tow the Party Barge, I may look into the helper airbags for the coil springs.
If the EXT comes back on line soon enough, I will probably leave well enough alone on the Avalanche since the EXT can easily handle the task as it has for the past eight years.
I already have the new transmission oil cooler standing by to be installed in the Avalanche, but new shocks and possibly the airbags may have to wait for a while.
I want to get the cooler installed since a rebuilt transmission may come at any moment with the age and mileage of the truck and I want that equipment standing by and ready to go.
I have no paperwork and the previous owner did not mention any work having been done to the Avalanche's transmission.
So, it may be on borrowed time.
Who knows?
I'm not even sure I want to tempt fate by using the Avalanche to tow the Party Barge and I may just stick to towing my utility trailer with my mowers.
