I was at the dealer the other day waiting on a part (whole other story) so I decided while I'm there I'd "spec out" an 02 K2500 Avalanche just for fun.  Surprisingly, adding the 8.1L and the 3/4 ton frame/components was not much different than the 1/2 ton version.  So, I have a couple questions that the sales guy could not answer:

Maybe ScottS can help answer since he has nothing else to do but impatiently wait for his (hehe, just kidding).

If you get the 8.1L and the MN8 4-speed auto tranny, is this the "new" 4L85-E?

The snow plow prep package RPO VYU includes the 130 amp alternator right?  So if you don't get the 130 do you get the standard 105?  Also, on the Subs in the 3/4 version, if you order this option you get the heavier torsion bars, and 1 piece rotors like the dually's.  Does the K2500 Avalanche get this too or just the alternator (only thing listed on the printout).  

Any help on these ?'s is appreciated.

P.S.  The one I spec'd out was with 8.1L, 4:10, locker, Custom Cloth, Roof Carrier, Dealer assist steps, and the snow plow package.  MSRP is ?K my GMO price ?K  (quite a bit less than my Suburban I was surprised)

Hey Big Blue

Not sure how meuch info I can give ya, but I'll give 'er a try...

Tranny, I haven't been able to get a diffinative answer, but the little info I have gotten points towards the new L85.

I am afraid I know next to nothing about the snow plow prep package.  I know you get beacon wiring and the heavier alternator to drive it.  It would make sense that they would upgrade the torsions and brakes to handle the extra weight, but I have no information to say that this will be the case.

Information on these 2500 is so scarce, it is frustrating to try and make an informed decision.  I will be interested to find what the answers will unltimately be...

Good Luck!

Scott

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
