#73 of 86 2004 Avalanche Base Model by dispencer1 Aug 28, 2004 (7:29 pm)
I just bought the base model 2WD Avalanche with the chrome bumpers and just the wheel moldings and side molding. Sport red - neat color. It has a Z66 decal on the side but no Z66 suspension. Funny. Anyone know why?
#74 of 86 Instrument Panel Surround by dispencer1 Aug 29, 2004 (4:23 pm)
My 2004 Avalanche's instrument panel surround pops off easily. It is identical to the one used on the Escalade except for the wood trim. I'd prefer the Escalade one and it appears that you could just swap them after ordering one from the Cadillac dealer. It even looks like it is the same color (grey). Has anyone done this?

Replying to: dispencer1 (Aug 29, 2004 4:23 pm) Many Owners have. Look for JPCustoms on line. They have seveal different styles to choose from. The Escalade Platinum being the latest and really nice. Looks similar to the '02 Escalade which won't work on '03 or newer. As for the Z66 label and np Z66 package. Sounds like a plain ol' scrrewup.
#76 of 86 Avalanche Instrument Panel by homer8 Jun 26, 2006 (5:52 am)
I am posting this to help others and get this information on the internet. I own a 2005 Avalanche 1500 2/WD with 22000 miles. At about 19000 miles, while driving at night I heard a click the lights in the Instrument Panel went out. Dealer replaced the Instrument Panel, with in 3 days another click and the lights went out. Dealer replaced Instrument Panel and the next time I drive at night "Click" and the lights went out. Now my dealer has had my truck in his shop for 7 days and I don't know when I will get it back. For a vehicle to blow 4 Instrument Panels, which cost $600.00 a piece plus installation, makes me wonder if this might be a common problem and a recall should made so GM would be responsible for repairs. I will also send this to the NTSB. Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Jun 26, 2006 6:24 am) txyank1 (Jun 26, 2006 6:35 am)

Replying to: homer8 (Jun 26, 2006 5:52 am) If I was you I would ask this question somewhere else as you can see the last post here was in 2004, so no one is home. Replies to this message: txyank1 (Jun 26, 2006 6:35 am)

#79 of 86 onstar analog by daves02avl Nov 26, 2006 (12:13 am)
Does anyone know if GM is going to upgrade the analog systems in vehicles when it has to be switched in 2008. Or is the money that is being paid for onstar out the window in 2008. No onstar or phone service period. Wasted money put into vehicle when purchased Replies to this message: jerrywimer (Dec 01, 2006 7:36 am)
#80 of 86 Press Request by KarenS HOST Dec 01, 2006 (4:39 am)
A reporter from a local newspaper is hoping to talk with consumers who have just purchased a 2007 Chevy Silverado, Chevy Avalanche or GMC Sierra. Please reply to ctalatiedmunds.com no later than Friday, December 1, 2006 with your daytime contact info.

Replying to: daves02avl (Nov 26, 2006 12:13 am) If you have a 2007 you're covered. GM won't pay for the upgrade for others. For vehicles that are upgradable (check OnStar web site) OnStar says it's "free", so long as you pay for a service commitment (maybe two years up front?). I originally called OnStar about this back when I had my 04 Silverado (upgrade available).

Im fixing to purchase a vehicle for my 18, very responsible son in the next week or 2. His heart is set on the Avalanche. Im scared because Ive been told that there are too many things that can and do go wrong with this truck. Is this a smart buy or not for this single Mom that knows zero??????? I will have to buy a preowned one at that 2004-2005 maybe? Help me if u can..
