in this video, I talk about the most common issues with the chevy avalanche. some are from my personal experience and others are from what people experience. the chevy avalanche are great trucks but every great truck has their own problems! we talk about the gauge cluster, parking brakes, service 4x4 light as well as the intake manifold gasket and the issues that these can cause. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Keep them Avalanche videos coming, bro! I appreciate you!
You got it! more to come, just stick with me!
Just picked up an 04 Avalanche and have been enjoying your videos. Thank you for making them!
Awesome welcome to these club. Thanks shoo much for watching them... I have so many videos on the avalanches.. including engine rebuilds
You are amazing. Thank you and God bless you for sharing your knowledge. You have a gift.
Thank you so much for those kind words! I try to share what I know. I dont know everything but I try 🙂
I looove my 04 z71. I bought it brand new and I have about 215k. I say 'about' because my cluster was out for about a year before I had it repaired. I have had all of the issues you mentioned here as well as the fuel tank evap canister issue. All in all I love my truck and will never get rid of her. Thanks for the great videos.
awe thank you, I really appreciate that. thank you for watching my videos =)
Oil consumption is a big problem with most of them. What i found is they changed the pcv valve design on the driver side valve cover that would let oil leak pass through the pcv into the intake causing blue smoke out the exhaust. Dorman makes a redesigned valve cover that fixes the problem; changed mine and no smoke what so ever. Other than that and the bad grounds, everything else you have already touched base with that are easy to fix!!!
hell yeah man, how could I have forgotten to mention the oil consumption lol... thanks for bringing that up! I did replace mine as well with the doorman part.
Got a good one for you was stopping at a red light came to a complete stop and the left side of my Avalanched dropped. Lower ball joint let go. Was a good thing I wasn’t driving it when it went.. love mechanics that don’t tell you when they suspect a problem. It’s ath garage to be fixed.
holy jeez, I am so happy your alright! thank goodness you or no one got hurt!
Another very common issue causing coolant loss on the Avalanche and many other GM vehicles is heater hose connector failure. In their infinite wisdom, GM saw it fit to use a cheap plastic part to speed assembly on the line, compromising quality and reliability while doing so. Bean counter decisions are destroying our vehicles, sadly. Another thing. Those heater hose connectors can be removed and thrown out. Not required. Simply connect the heater hose to the core. Done.
Thanks for sharing! that's a great point you brought up. I will never understand why such major components will be substituted for plastic... guess its their way of saving money while costing the consumer an expense!
Very informative 👏
Thank you 😊
My Avy leaks washer fluid, how do I find where the leak is?😫
It leaks most likely the container is cracked, get a replacement container. Here is a trick. Fill it up slowly, at what point does the container start leaking
Heard the transmission goes out is this true and what’s the cost to replace it if you’ve gone through it
Thinking of picking up an 03 z66
Anything I should be on the look out for?
They do go out I think around 80 to 150k
Mine has been replaced by the previous owner. Look out for rust depending on where you are located. Other than that these are solid
My parking brake sticks to the floor and I have to pry it up. How can I resolve this issue?
Ill.make a video for yah
But most likely either the cable stretched or something isnt holding as it should
Just picked up a 05 things that I found wrong . U joints ,dash goes blank and I have to smack it to come back on ,abs light and service airbag . And filling up with gas takes forever! Keeps kicking off the pump and heat only work up till speed 3 🤣 4 and 5 kick it off But other than that it's decent lol just gotta figure out that dash
oh jeez, there is a reset that you can try on the unit before spending money. i think i have a video on it. or you can youtube it. ac heat control gm reset
I changed the ignition switch it worked bt it stopped working agian it worked for a day lol my cluster is acting up
damn that sucks, maybe ignition switch is faulty. cluster is them stepper motors
Soft brake padel and abs module
100 percent true, thanks for that one!
Can’t reset the oil life ?
I have a video on how to do that
I have an 08 LTZ and my OB2 doesn’t work
Check fuses
I did checked the fuses first move
@@francesboyz did you check the cigarette lighter fuse. Sometimes these go hand in hand
I will check that next thanks will let you know if that’s the problem
Let me know for sure, you’re welcome
