#445 of 534 Re: Front suspension knocking while turning [mrorange] by qhearts132 Aug 15, 2005 (7:50 pm)
Replying to: mrorange (Aug 08, 2005 7:25 am) I have an 02 AV and am experiencing the "knocking" on the steering which is much more noticeable at lower speeds. Was there a recall notice for steering? This seems to be a rather common problem.

Replying to: mrorange (Aug 08, 2005 7:25 am) I had one of the first 2002 Avalanche's. Never had any trouble. It now has 80,000 miles and my grandson has 20 inch wheels on this good looking dream. I bought me a 2003 to replace it when I gave the 2002 to him. It has been a wreck. It had pops and cracks in slow turns and made noises in the body /frame connection. I finally found out the noise in the body was rubber mounts. If you submerge the frome under water the noise will stop for a month or two. I finally found a dealer that put a new rack and pinion box on the steering and the poping and cracking stopped when making turns. Now its beginning to make a noise when it shifts .After coasting and you press on the acceleratorf it races the engine and nakes a noise as it shifts. It started this at about 15000 miles and it now has 37000 miles on it. I think it was waiting until the warranty expired before it falls apart. I sure like the truck but I will probably switch to the new Honda next year.

Replying to: brucecr_ms (Jul 15, 2003 12:44 pm) Does anyone have advice on what protectorants work well on the cladding? they all seem to wash off and/or seep off onto the paint. Any suggestions on brands that don't run, etc. Replies to this message: txyank1 (Aug 24, 2005 5:36 am)

Replying to: avegirl (Aug 22, 2005 3:55 pm) Believe it or not the best so far seems to be Future Floor Polish. It's an acrylic, not a wax. Available at Wal Mart for about $5. Just BE SURE the cladding, and what you apply it with (cloth ot sponge) is DRY or you get some whitish splotches. If that happens strip it (per label instructions) and re-apply when dry. I haven't personally tried it yet, but that's what the experts on our favorite Av fan club site are saying.

Does anyone know anything about the 07 Avalanche? Will it have DOD? Any plans for a hybrid? New features?   Thanks!
#450 of 534 Knocking while turning by crutches Sep 07, 2005 (5:06 am)
Have had my Avalanche in 5 times to eliminate the knocking while turning, especially noticible turning left. The local dealer has replaced several parts, but can't fix problem. What can be done if anything?? Does this fall under the lemon law for product liability? Replies to this message: KarenS (Sep 07, 2005 10:30 am)

Replying to: crutches (Sep 07, 2005 5:06 am) Lemon laws vary from state to state. Perhaps this article will be helpful:   Getting Some Lemon-Aid From Your Lemon Maker

Replying to: mrorange (Aug 08, 2005 7:25 am) What has happened since you decided to go back to the dealer about the noises? I am in the same position at this time. Did GM give you any help, or did they deny any problems? Please drop a line and let me hear the solution. Thanks, Crutches Replies to this message: ellisw (Aug 03, 2006 1:43 pm) txyank1 (Aug 04, 2006 4:34 am)
#453 of 534 Ticking noise from engine by tracy6 Sep 20, 2005 (9:27 pm)
When I was test driving a 05 Avalanche I heard this noise that sound like a engine that had no oil but the oil says full. I have the truck for 24 hours I called the dealer and was told that the noise was part of the design. In other words get use to it. My question: is that something that all the Avalanches do or is this particular one having problems. At this point I'm not obligated to purchase but I need to know if this is usual or unusual for this vehicle. I was looking at the Excaulate and was told that the Avalanche had the same features. Has anyone experienced this noise. Replies to this message: txyank1 (Sep 21, 2005 6:09 am) ron burgundy (Nov 28, 2005 10:11 am) gemstick (Dec 01, 2005 2:42 pm)

Replying to: tracy6 (Sep 20, 2005 9:27 pm) I have not noticed that with my '03. I was recently standing near an '05 backing into a parking space and heard it's engine making noise that I thought sounded odd from one that new.
