Wonder what the biggest tire I can fit under this avalanche is.

I'm sure you could fit some 44" tires if you get creative enough with a Sawzall :lol:

Well got the new shocks, he said it helped but didn’t fix the issue. He was right. Didn’t fix the issue. Tires have plenty of tread, I sent a pic go Jeff, at least enough tread to not be this issue.

I’m thinking ball joints? I know there was a little but if gap on the sway bar end links but this is a jarring, not an annoying rattle.

Wonder what a place would charge me to replace the ball joints.

I'd worry more about control arm bushings than sway bar bushings

Just making a list of things I would like to do to the avalanche.

Drivers door window switch-it’s a known issue to cause my seat heater to have a mind of its own.

Tint- it sits outside. It needs tint

Gauge cluster- gas said almost empty...half tank to fill up.

Back up camera- make it easier to hook up the boat as I’m almost always alone.

Remote start- yeah I love having it working at the fire hall and it being warm when I get in.

I’m sure there are others but this is my short list.

Looks like its time to trade in on an H3.

I know right!!! I just did an oil change on the avalanche, I didn’t even do that for the Humvee! Have to say I went past a white H3 today, 15k...I liked it.

Coop will need the Alpha with the adventure package. V8, lockers at all 3 diffs, and a super low range transfer case.


H3T Alphas hold their value surprisingly well. Most of them are in the low to mid 20s.

But more weight, length, fuel, and repairs. ;)

You should have bought a Honda Ridgeline.
