I LIVE my 4WD Avalanche LTZ

I bought this Avalanche in Inferno Orange way back in 2013, used with 67K miles on it, and I just had the 100K service done. It has performed flawlessly during the entire time I’ve owned it. Nothing at all has broken on it. It’s the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned, and I have used it to haul all manner of things from heavy wood and concrete to pipes, scrap metal, etc. You name it, and I’ve probably hauled it! It has all of the creature comforts I would ever want on a vehicle. It’s absolutely loaded. I love driving it as much as I love driving my 2022 C8 Corvette, believe it or not! The 5.3L VORTEC V8 is a practically bulletproof engine… I’ve never had to do anything to it other than change the oil in it. I think it’s the best engine Chevy has ever produced.

Love it but...

I have owned my 2009 Avalanche since new. The only issues I incurred were minor. I followed suggested maintenance schedules and complied with all recalls. The real problems start around 100000 miles The oil pump pressure would drop so low at a stoplight that the check engine light came on. I had the pump and screen replaced. Now there is a tick intermittently coming from the engine. Then I started getting a cylinder misfire error code. Replaced sparkplug and ran fine for a few hundred miles. Now had similar codes on computer. Truck is running rough, misfires and major loss of power. The AFM valves need to be replaced. This is a known problem with the 5.3l engine. So now do you have a $3000 repair or dump $6000 on a new engine? The vehicle is only worth $10k. And then hey... What about that tranny?

Chevy avalanche

If it was a female I would marry it. I love my truck. It's all the things a truck should be. Easy to drive, pulls a trailer with ease, looks great (my truck is red) has a great interior, as comfortable as any vichicle if been in.

Comfortable

My wife can sleep in the back seat when we are traveling. It's like sleeping in a bed. The inside is roomy, for tall people. Heated and cooling seats are extremely nice. For a 2009 low maintenance and durability, would buy another Avalanche again!

2009 Avelanche

This is my second 2009 purchased last August. I purchased my first in 2009. One of the best trucks I've had. Completed a 6,897 mile trip three weeks ago with no problems and no dash board lights coming on. That trip included going through the southern end of a huricane with wind and heavy rain. I think I'll keep it.

My 2009 Avalanche

Awesome vehicle. If I had realized I would have bought one when they first came out. I cannot fathom the amount of stupidity involved in the decision to stop making this vehicle. Utter nonsense. If I can find another low mileage newer model, I'll buy it.
