Hello all,

 

Just found this board and look's like a great place to hang. I have a 2002 Avalanche 1500 Sunset Orange Z-71 Graphite Sport Leather interior, Fully Loaded, 3.73 gears, Hardcover, Assist steps, roof rack, GM Brush Guard, Vent visors, tent w air mattress and GM Bug Shield, Volant Air intake, GMC Sierra Yellow and black steering wheel,Viper 550 Alarm, K-40 CB w/ Custom Antenna Mount, Piaa Super White headlights, Billet Grill and Much more to come....

Next mod will be Escalade Dash Cluster and carbon Fiber Interior Parts.

 

Currently i have 9410 miles on the avalanche and counting right now i am undergoing the oil Consumption test right now cause the 5.3 has been using oil like the rest. Anyhow look forward to helping when i can and learning alot as well later.

Welcome to the forum and it looks like you've already done quite a few mods already.  Just wondering where you put your cb and what type of antenna.  I've got a cobra cb (can't remember the model # off the top of my head.  But I put it in the cd tray underneath the remote cd player in the console.  I ran the coax around to a glass mount antenna on the back window.  Well, once again welcome and I hope that you stick around.

Chevy 4x4,

 

I put the cb in the cassette location since the avalanche has cd only it has an empty spot where the cassette player would be in a sliverado. I pulled it out and cut the back out to make the cb sit Flush. The antenna wire is run through the Midgate seal into the cab. I made a custom braket off the Grey in the back that goes around the roof there are bolts that can be screwed out and then i made my bracket go in those holes and used new screws. I will post pics soon once i figure out how to post them. Later

Sunset Z-71,

Welcome from a fello AV owner. So you say you have an oil consumption  problem too?!  Mine has been going through a quart in 1800 miles, and had occasional big cloud at start ups.

The dealer, and a GM friend of mine informed me that a new designed PCV valve is now released for this condition. They just installed mine, so I will let you know if it works. You should ask your dealer to call the technical assistance line, and get the details from them.

Thanks for the information. This is what it's all about, besides the general bs. It is good to see members helping members with possible fixes to common problems. Keep it up. That is what makes this a great site.
