A Magnuson supercharger would be nice!
Or the look of a 2008 Z71. (They came that way from the factory)....MHPiatt said:Dont really care for the woodgrain interior trim. To old fashion for me. I cured it though. Pulled every piece out and applied brushed aluminum transfer tape to it. Gives it a modern day performance feel.

netdoctored said:Don't likes for a gen 2 avalanche are all engineering or marketing decisions that don't really affect my enjoyment of the truck.
Engineering decisions I don't like:
No access to the fuel pump without removing the fuel tank or cutting a hole.
Power folding mirrors are fitted with cheap plastic gears.
The pivot point of the rear seats and midgate are misaligned. When the seats are folded down that misalignment prevents the gate from sitting flat with the bed when in the lowered position.
Removal of the rear bumper corner steps on the 07 and up models. Remolding the rear step bumper to allow for paint would have been a great option.
Marketing/Business decision I don't like:
Displacement on Demand that cannot be disabled from the DIC. I realize the need to meet emissions but let me decide if I care about mileage after the sale. If I wanted to hyper mile I would not be driving a >6000lb truck.
They Killed the Avalanche!
I was trying to find the max tonged weight. Do you know it?Molon Labe said:Being in Northern Indiana, my only 2 gripes would be that the truck is prone to rust, and they discontinued it. I bought my Avy used, previous owner had a body shop do a "cover up" job before he traded in. Now I have rust bubbling through on both rear fenders, bottom of the front doors, left rocker panel, and hood. I plan to drive it till the wheels fall off and then get another one.

Some even modified the cup holder area with insert from a Denali from that year or a hummer too I think....
Vaeagleav said:Yes it is a simple part swap with no mods needed.
This is what the sliver insert looks like open FYI:
