Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds AWESOME AVALANCHE for sale! Can deliver anywhere in the US or Canada, guns for part trade OK too!

Best looking/running Avalanche in the state! Maybe in the US! ( maybe a LITTLE Hyperbole.... ) but true in my opinion. Gets lots of looks and compliments. Year model is 2003 but looks, runs and rides like much newer. Slight lift kit (leveling only) in the front to level it and accomodate bigger aggressive tires, 11.5x33x16's. Bright Yellow with black body armour and custom shiny black 16x8 wheels. Almost brand new set of TOYO Mud Terrain tires, 10 ply AND a full set of Hankook mud and snow tires with double studs AND siping come with it! Z-71 package means that in addition to 4WD you get a limited slip differential and skid plates. BOSE surround sound system, 6 disk CD changer, Heated Leather seats with adjustable lumbar pads on both front seats, 12 way electric adjustments, all of the compute gizmos and tracking systems, this truck is a lot like my old (miss this one) Caddilac CTS but with very good off road and bad weather capabilities and safety. ALSO, I had a custom winch added to the rear compartment for help in loading ORV's, motorcycles, other large heavy loads. Was a handy device when I first bought the truck and was doing more outdoor stuff. 204,000 miles on it, but 99% of that was my business use when I was an active Estate planner and travelling over the Blues all the time to places like Enterprise, up into Wenatchee etc at all times. In addition, I had a brand new, zero miles Chevrolet/GM Crate motor installed BY GM MECHANICS three years ago at the 164,000 mile point. Valves and lifters were getting noisy so a new complete motor went in. This Motor only has 40,000 mi on it. Transmission, motor and differentials all changed over to Ams Oil full Synthetic oils and lubricants. Perfect maintenence, upkeep etc. Since I bought it in 2009 with 94,000 miles on it. This has been my business work vehicle, my play vehicle and my baby. But I think I need a full size Diesel truck now. $8995/offer, can consider shootin irons as partial trade if that will help you buy this truck. Have clean and clear title, never salvaged, never wrecked. Has the towing package, and I have easily towed both my last owned 25 foot trailer and my previous camp trailer of 29 feet and 7,000lbs. Sold them both but this Fuel injected 5.3 Litre V-8 gets good fuel mileage, but will tow almost any reasonable pull trailer. This is the truck that Rattler, Asphaltangel and I all took to Tennesee and back. Zero glitches that trip, and if you want to buy it and have it delivered to Upper Maine or NY or Florida, I will drive it there and will have zero difficulty on that trip as far as the vehicle is concerned. $8995/offer, can take a couple of guns as partial trade if that will help you.

I tried to post up some photos, but it seems like photobuckets page or site is down and out right now. I will try to post pictures later in the day, assuming photobucket gets back on line soon.

PM me for some cell phone pics or other questions, details etc.

This is a truly great truck. Comfortable, reliable x 1000 and very off road capable all at the same time. I don't need the winch, off road capability etc. any longer. I hope this one goes to a good home.

Oversell.
Under deliver.
You should write a book.

You have seen it? I will keep trying to get photobuckets page to open, but this is one sharp looking Avalanche. Hate to sell it, thought I would keep it until I passed away, but find myself needing larger truck now or I would have hung onto this one forever.

204,000 miles?
It's barely broke in........

40K on the motor, so you are about right! And business/highway use does not beat down a vehicle like other uses can. Add in great maintenence and lots of waxing and the very best in synthetic lubes and oil... this truck has many, many years and miles left in her.

So why did you worry about all the winches and it's off road awesomeness, if it was just a highway rig?

You are going to buy a larger truck? In every other post you say you are broke?

I cannot keep up with the drama.

Do you have all maintenance records and receipts of the additions you describe above? Can you provide detailed photos of every single imperfection inside and out since buyers will be likely buying it sight unseen?

The real safariman experience?

Dollar for dollar exchange, not hard to do. Sell truck A, get truck B. You really cannot be THAT dense, could not figure that simple thing out all on your own, can you?

Nice to see that my stalkers are still alive and well. Don't see some of them much until it is time to get all negative and such.

Are you towing a bunch now?

I went the other direction, I sold my last diesel as then downsized to a truck with a gasoline engine. The cost per mile is significantly less from the cost of fuel to oil changes to repairs the gas trucks are just cheaper to run

Which diesel are you going with?

Nice to see that my "stalkers" are still alive and well. Don't see some of them much until it is time to get all negative and such.

Scab-pickers is a better term to describe some of them.

To bad it wasn't the 3/4 ton with 8.1 liter that is one bad ass motor horrible gas mileage but man they pull hard..

Phone number? You are unable to send a pm to as it says you are over the limit when I tried

Stalker? This stuff follows you around whenever you post.

Might sell my truck too. Original paint, less than 101k miles, dried pig blood in bed. Best offer over, I dunno, 10k or 2 supergrades (scoped). Ford 4x4, AM/FM and air. Manual windows, no wenches included.

Thanks for the heads up, sorry about that. I just cleaned out a bunch of messages so I can again recieve a PM. I am sending you one now with my telephone number.

Just uploaded this from my phone to Photobucket to post here as a test. Seems to be up and running now if you'd like to post a few pics.

LOL!!! Steve did you have a late night last night.

Oregon game kept me up late. That's actually a '73 Type LT Z/28 that I moved out of my old garage into storage last weekend. I'm remotivated to finish it up after the new workshop is done.

Those tow dollies don't back too well........just FYI.

How many times have you used this bucket of bolts as an excuse to sell junker guns to keep it running.. or to keep it in gear... or to keep it in tires? I remember motor problems, I remember transmission rebuild, and I remember trading someone for used tires.

You still don't understand do you? People know you here..
