Has anyone ever upgraded the cupholder are with the Escalade version, that has the 2 flip covers so it looks cleaner when not in use. Is it a simple pop out the old one and replace, or is there a lot of modifications for it to work
Had my Avy since new, but after 14 years, now matter how well you take care of things, stuff wears out.
My front seats are worse than the back, but want to see what good seat covers out there actually fit and look good. While I have no holes or tears, this last detail I can tell things will bound to happen.
Ive tried a few in the past at local stores, but they are just a generic fit
Has anyone come up with a bed step or alternative for the later AVs without a step bumper?
Edit: Something that works with the tailgate down.
2012 Avalance LT, Where is the PCV valve located? Some searches say its a simple PCV valve, other things show its the entire valve cover and its buiit into that.
Hello everyone, does anyone know where the best place is for me to advertise a 2012 Callaway Avalanche SC450 Supercharged? My late grandfather left it behind, and I would like to get it sold. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks
I’ve been trying to find the correct oil filter for my truck and I’m not sure which one to get. I originally got the ACDelco GM Original Equipment UPF48R (12694692) Engine Oil Filter it looks like that one is not sold anymore? I now see UPF48R 12743717. But when I search that part on ACdelco website it says it doesn’t fit my 2010 Chevy avalanche LTZ. Does anyone know which oil filter to purchase?
I love this truck, so
I’m torn. I have recurring O2 sensor issues. Usually, it clears for a while after an oil change, but it may be time to change the sensor again. Now my lifters are getting noisy. I do get an occasional error code on cylinder one. Additionally, I’m running on a dash light that tells me to fix my suspension. I replaced the pump many years ago but did not use Mfr parts. Is it worth getting this stuff fixed.. what to prioritize?
I have approx 199k on truck and it has been a dream.
I continue to get nagged on my airbag recall for my 2013. For those who have had it done, does it require the removal of the dashboard to replace the passenger side unit? My truck has a small crack on the dash (the little corner crack that starts first). I'm assuming that any work removing/reinstalling the dash will result in total destruction.
Is there a source for new replacement dashes? I don't want a plastic cover.
Hi, cleaning out the garage and came across the tent we had purchased for my 2002 1500. Never ever used it.
I’m in N. California if anyone wants to have it.
Got a 2010 ltz. Nice interior and solid exterior and no rust on the outside. But the frame looks pretty bad. 168k miles the back (start of vid) is the worst. Got some issues but if it’s not that bad I’ll fix em up. Worst comes to worst I’ll be honest about the rust and sell it. It’s my first car and my dad traded for it and said the rust could be worse. We’re in the PNW (no road salt round here) so this is bad compared to other vehicles.
I take cool looking ads and turn them into pieces of automotive memorabilia and wall decor. Chevy decided to publish this horizontal ad in magazines which is unusual since most ads are vertical. It's available here: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4527667296/hardwood-ad-sign-2007-chevy-avalanche
Owner of a 2012 LT since new. Have used from day 1 Mobil 1 synthetic and Mobil 1 filters. When I bought the truck, and some research, to change the oil when it hits 20% on the DIC oil maintenance. Have followed that since new, within reason, maybe 19% due to a trip that was longer than expected.
I know the thing is change it every 5000 miles (8000km) or 6 months. Im in Canada, so its kms
For the most part, the 6 month thing was never an issue. Family trips, camping, lived out of the city, naturally more milage.
But now with living in the city, and I pedal bike to work alot in the summer, and my kids are all adults now and dont take family trips as much, the usage is way down
Decided to go over my log book I keep, and thought lets see how accurate the 20% thing is. For the most part, within reason. Sometimes the milge intervals were closer to 6500 miles but the months ranged from 3 to 5 months.
But now with looking closer, the mileage is down, under 4000 miles. In fact my last oil change was 3531 miles. But the time was now 9 months. And I have a few 10 months now counting out the months the last couple years. I got my oil changed Apr 15, 2026 and the time before was Jul 7, 2025
MY goal with synthetic wasn't the long wait times, I just know its better. And looking at this now looks like I may have to switch to it every 6 months instead.
But would have caused any harm the last few years with the longer intervals? Im at 201K now, and recently had to swap out my one oil sensor. Which at 14 years old I cant complain. But starting 2020 it looks like my intervals were 7 and 8 months, which is when I moved back into the city
Saw a 2003 Tahoe with turn signal mirrors and I wondered if there was any pre-existing wiring for that in a 2002 Z71 1500? Was that ever an option?
