Just picked up this 2010 LT and looking at the following 3 rim options becuase they are in my budget. looking for opinions on colour…don’t think full black is ill work well. I’ve found a few with silver and black that might work but hard to visualize..The colour of the truck is making it a little difficult and I’m just not sure how the black combo will work? Opinions welcome and anyone who has this colour of truck if you have images of what you have done rim wise please share.

I have an 02 with moderate collision damage on the passenger side doors. I just went to Pull a Part and grabbed an 02 Suburban door. Sadly someone grabbed the rear passenger door already. The impact area was just above the door handles and *mostly* missed the cladding thank goodness.

Anyway, does anyone have tips to transplant the cladding to the new door? I'd love to hear your story on how it went.

After many silverados and tahoes I got my first (2004) avalanche, its got plenty off issues but for the price I paid I think its worth piecing back together to keep it on the road

A small camping misadventure, truck did great!

2012 Chevy Avalanche RAP (Retained Accessory Power) system stays active and does not shut off after opening the doors. Driver door latch assembly has already been replaced, but the issue persists. Dome lights also do not turn on when either the driver or passenger front door is opened, suggesting a possible shared door-ajar signal, wiring, ground, BCM, or latch circuit issue rather than the latch itself.

Any advice or if someone had this issue before would be a huge help. Also the radio time resets every time.

The Avalanche took this trail like a champ and handled some pretty gnarly obstacles.

Sup chaps. Im planning on turning a damaged 96-99 Chevy)GMC Suburban into a custom avalanche. what i was thinking, was that I have a tailgate that opens into the cab, and having the glass removable. Im planning on using an old rear window frame from a pickup and using plexiglass as a removable window. The window frame will just slide out of the top of the tailgate.

I've thought this through, unlike the standard hillbilly deluxe special. Im doing this like an actual avalanche with removable window and midgate, so it'll take time and funds. But I'll enjoy it. When it's done, it won't look like this hot garbage from the web. It'll look magnificent.

Just purchased this 2010 LT beauty and although I’m not 100% loving the colour she was pretty mint and only had 156k and paid less than 5k for it. Needs some minor body work on lower parts but not much.

Looking for any images of others who have this colour and may have done some appearance mod. I’m gonna change the rims staying with 20” but Also looking for advise on a less expensive lowering kit and some modest performance mods.

Also what have people used to get the black mouldings back to black as they are a bit sun faded.

Thanks

yayaa

Hey Guys and Gals, I was wondering that if I did this to an OBS suburban, would I be accepted?

(Im planning on buying a burban with rear roof damage for this btw)

yayaaaa

I can’t figure out what is happening. When I accelerate and the RPMs go up I get this “whoop”ing sound. transmission shifts good, just makes this noise.

About 2–3 weeks ago, I changed my engine oil for the first time myself, along with the idler pulley, tensioner pulley, serpentine belt, and engine air filter. I originally did those repairs trying to fix a squeal coming from the truck. Oddly enough, the squeal didn’t go away after replacing those parts, but it has since mostly disappeared on its own.

When I first checked the dipstick after the oil change, the oil was so light/clean that I had trouble getting a proper reading. I didn’t think much of it because I added the amount listed in the manual. Since then, though, I’ve checked it periodically and it now looks noticeably overfilled.

When warm, the oil level sits a bit above where the dipstick starts to twist. Now that the truck has been sitting cold for over a day (I haven’t driven it since the engine light came on), the level looks way higher than that.

The truck was running fine until the other day while I was doing deliveries (yes, I know this is a terrible food delivery vehicle 😅). I started noticing a mild banging/jerking/knocking sensation every minute or so, almost like something underneath or near the front end was intermittently catching or jolting.

A little while later, the engine light came on. I ended up getting it towed home because I didn’t want to risk making things worse by driving it further. Thankfully I’m with CAA, so the tow wasn’t a huge issue.

My question is: could overfilling the oil cause the jerking/knocking feeling and trigger the engine light? And if so, is it possible that draining the excess oil could resolve it?

I’m hoping to avoid another major repair bill if possible- this truck (and life in generally) has already cost me plenty this year.

Video is of my very anemic ass trying to show both sides of the dipstick 🫠

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
