#54 of 86 I can see where the by txyank1 May 24, 2002 (3:58 am)
Police might have a problem with brighter headlight bulbs. But not the drl's being amber. I changed the ones on my Sierra too. Like the look much better. I think they are more noticeable too. And isn't that the point of DRL's?
#55 of 86 yes it is txyank1 by johnnycat8 May 25, 2002 (9:42 am)
but in california the only allowable amber light facing forward are turnsignals. but most people dont know that its only a fixit ticket and if you get caughtfor it you were probaly doing somthig else wrong or got a teed off cop. i agree with you they look and stand out better. i get asked about them all most as much as the avalanche.....lol
#56 of 86 odd law..... by txyank1 May 25, 2002 (5:12 pm)
Other GM's come with amber DRL's. Do the Camaros come with white DRL's just in Calif.?
#57 of 86 Hi All by dmathews3 Jul 10, 2002 (3:29 am)
Well the wife picks up her new Avalanche this afternoon. The Red with leather and sunroof and Z71 package. Had a very long and heavy downpour overnight the other night and I went to the dealers first thing and outside of a few drops in the bed near the edge like the books says can happen the cab was dry. Took it out on a bumpy road and no rattles so looks like we may be off to a good start. She traded in her Honda Odyssey and sure wish the resale value on the Avalanche would be even close. Got $24k out of a 01 van that stickered at $28.8. Not bad for a little less than 2 years. At least here I shouldn't have to put up with those DC van people that also thought their vans were the best.

You're wife will LOVE the AV. The bed has a 'water management system.' What that means, in essence, is if the object is on the rubber mat, it should stay dry. Water along the sides and under the mat is acceptable.   The AV looks 'mean' on the road so those little DC van people should just move out of the way.   Enjoy!
#62 of 86 Starting Over Again....02 Avalanche Owner..I've got some news for you guys. by strtnovr2003 Aug 06, 2003 (5:11 pm)
i purchased my 02 avalanche Nov 01...it has 50k miles and at 36k miles, i was driving down the road while it was raining and guess what i had 2 inches of water in the passenger area floorboard. to make a long story short...this is a known problem at the chevy corp...after 3 attempts of GO Chevrolet, clinton NC they said, it's a design fault and can't be fixed...on top of that, like one of the other owners, rental car after rental car while they are working on this "AVALEMON"...the rental car, toyota corolla..basic...that just about killed me right there...but this truck is constantly leaking,..thought it was only when the panels are off...but also with the panels on...by the way...all those panels will fade...loose their seal ...etc...so expect the worse with the avalanche...it makes me sick that i paid 18k down on this and now look what i have...also, the dash lights go on and off...well that's a cluster mechansism which costs 262 bucks...with extended warranty you have to pay 100 bucks...i'm like all the resst of you people...love the ride..nothing like it, but the stress of all this is just unreal...well, i've got my 4th and final try to fix monday..and the chev corp will give me the verdict wednesday...according to NC lemon law, they have to buy my truck back...so we'll see...it's SERVICE AFTER THE SELL that kills me...Fleecing of America...Amen, this is one way...Oh also, when it floods, the airbag module goes out...already done that and replaced...so, guess that's about it for now....will keep you posted....
#63 of 86 startin over... by ygmn Aug 11, 2003 (7:38 am)
some do get lemons and they come from all manufacturers.   I have had my avy longer than you and have had no problems......none ...nil.......   No leaks.....none dry as a bone....... no seals coming loose none....   good luck with yours....   there is a TSB about a floor seam not sealed properly....and a hole in rear fenderwells....or something like that....so it may not be a midgate leak...
