I probably won't put any on this truck, I like how it looks without them, plus I don't have to worry about them eventually rotting off. Hahaha!

More repairs today. My passenger side window on the master switch was crunchy and my drivers window auto down never really worked without really mashing on it. So today was the day I decided to tear it apart. I found the down plastic piece on the passenger side was broken and I saw how the auto down works. So I jb welded the the broken piece for the passenger side and for the AD on the drivers side, I shaved a piece of plastic I had laying around and glued it in place. Now everything works 100% and I just have to bearly tap for auto down.

 

 

Glued plastic piece for drivers Auto Down

 

Had to clean the sides up abit so it would move freely.

You're an inspiration man. Great work on your truck.

[Full Lock]

Thanks man! I really appreciate that.

Boy do I have a lot of questions for you. As soon as this PITA headache goes away. Just came across your thread. I have an 06 Avalanche, Regency conversion. If you don't mind, I can post a pic?

Been lurking on the forums for a few weeks, but seeing this thread pushed me to join.

 

Love the Avy. I really miss my last 2 - I had an '04 Z71 that was Silver Burch, and a '13 that was Black. I always believed that they weren't trucks, or SUV's - they are "TUV's" (The Ultimate Vehicle).

 

Very nice.

GM used a lot of hard plastics in the 1st gen Avy's.

 

Does yours have the ISS rattle (Intermediate Steering Shaft)? It's not dangerous or anything, but it can be unnerving if you don't know what it is. Scared the poo out of my dad first time I let him drive the '04. He still ended up buying an "06 soon after. Great vehicles.

Easy fix, too.

I do believe I had that rattle. My friend once packed the hell outta it with grease and it went away for about a year but it might need replacing. I think I'm more of broken clips, broken guides, leather on leather. Door panel rattles. Center console rattle. Those are some things I "think" I hear.

[Full Lock]

Sure Keagan post up buddy and ask all the questions ya want. Mine has some rattles too. A lot of it is in the rear door panels and the Midgate. Volume knob fixes that haha.

Welcome darkrider.

And yeah the steering shaft is a common issue with the gmt800's

I forgot to take pics but I replaced my steering shaft about a year ago with GM's updated version. It's not too difficult to replace but if it's rusty where the shaft connects to the box shaft under the hood it can be a bitch to get it disconnected.... atleast that's how mine was. Wd40 and 20mins and it slid right out.

Felt like a new truck after it was replaced.

And just hit 221k today

Just over 90k yesterday.

 

I need to do the intermediate shaft

Evap solenoid

Weatherstrips

Door hinges

Steering wheel lights

LED's for HVAC controls.

 

Where did you source each of them? Thanks!

[Full Lock]

Looks good. And that's funny everything you listed is everything that my truck needed.

Before I replaced the steering wheel I did buy new buttons for the vol, seek, mode and talk if your interested. I'll give em to ya cheap.

Did alittle shoot today
