The noise I am talking about only comes when I hit 65-70 mph and I think it has to do with the air deflector. It sounds like popping corn and it really isn't very loud. I saw that earlier discussions were about putting 2 sided tape somewhere but I am not sure where. Suspension and turning seem fine.... KNOCK ON WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

chevy does not want you to know this (had to pry it out of a mechanic at the dealership) around 2000 or 2001 chevy changed the composition of metals in there rotors (big mistake) now every one i know that owns a new chevy has had the thing in for new rotors. They wanted to charge my grandfather 600 to replace the front rotors in his truck, (only 17,000mi on it) so i payed $150 for 2 aftermarket (not made by chevy) rotors and $20 for pads, swapped them out. its been over a year now and the rotors are just a as good as the day i put them on. good luck

I have noticed the same rough idle with my new 2006 Avalanche. Any luck with the dealer and the idle problem? I am taking mine in in a few days.

I had a similar ongoing prob. Turned out to be body mounts.This is a chronic problem with the Avalanche and Tahoes. Took many trips to the service Dept. to get this resolved.

I have had a recurring problem with my 2003 Avalanche. When the vehicle has been driven and is heated up I have a squeal while turning left only. Initially souned like a loose belt. Several power steering gears and a high pressure hose later the noise is reduced but is still there. Any info or suggestions on this issue are appreciated. Thanks

My wife has problems seeing out the back window. Is there any way you could install a rear view camera or back up sensors

Many options out there for both sensors and camera systems.

I have a 05 Av that has a rythmatic humming noise at 62 and 72. The truck has 410 gears(not sure if this is related). I brought it to another dealer after several attempts by the purchasing dealer. The transfer case is whats making the noise and there is a bullitin on it but no fix at this time. I have filed for arbitration under our state lemon law and it looks lokie a lost case for chevy. I also have a 2006 z-71 tahoe with 373's with no problems. Anyone who has this problem let me know if you have 410 gears.

I have put the velcro on the rubber pieces that cover the bolthead - to ne avail. HAving said that, next time you hear it on the highway, reach your hand up to the inside of the windshield where the windshiel and the frame meet. I will bet you feel the windshield ""fluttering" ever so slightly. I bet one or both or your outside mirrors probably shake as well. My Service Manager stated all this was normal. Then again, he just told be a bad front differential bearing ($900) and a bad rear differential bearing ($1200) failing at 57k miles is normal even thought I did the $30K check up ($650)
