That's pronounced "chassy," good sir.
Cool video Where can I buy a mint 1984 Recaro Trans Am or a 1984 15th Anniversary?
You are making perfect sense. I had a 2008 GMC Envoy Denali that I absolutely loved. I bought it 5 years old and used as a trade in at 110K for a new 2018 Jeep Cherokee. I am looking at this video because the Avalanche always intrigued me but I didn't know much about it. The Tahoe and Suburban were on my radar. I'm definitely going to look for an Avalanche if I can find the 2500.
My black 1983 Trans Am is sort of a basket case, but I still love it and will fix it all up eventually on the elusive "some day".
Not half the price anymore unfortunately. I am looking for a truck and the prices are highly inflated
These things are junk. The unibody would twist (especially the t tops) to the point the doors wouldn't close properly.
Regular guy doing a review for us regular guys. Need more content like this 👌🏼
I could be mistaken, but another easy way to find out any codes your computer could be flashing is by putting key into ignition, turning it to accessory, back to off, back to accessory, then back to off, then back to accessory and leave it there. It will then do flashes to tell you the codes it has for check engine. This is the case for most GM cars of that generation.
Had an 86 firebird 5 spd for my 1st car, red with silver at bottom. Loved that car.
Rats only get in there if you’re a dirtbag and don’t take care of your shit.
Personal note. As an old coot, it does my heart good to see a young fella on the right path. Getting out of debt, jumping into a side hustle and delaying personal gratification for a better financial future. VERY WELL DONE SIR! Ty Bill.
Thanks bill i appreciate that. I work at an AF base and preach that to our new airmen.
Good video,informative with no bs. Just bought a 2011 LT black on black with blacked out tint and 24" rims. NO OWNER MANUAL. 506 pages on line. F that. I went from a 97 Sierra 2dr long box . Pwr steering and brakes, but nothing else. No ac and radio delete. To this. This is heaven on wheels. Climate control, stereo, power everything and a backup camera. Previous owner installed touch screen infotainment system, dashcam and a cb sw scanner. Now I gotta get me a cell phone so I can pair it up and do hands free. I know it's just more thi gs to break.but for now it's pretty sweet. TY Bill
Once you get the nice stuff there’s no going back haha. From 16 years old till 24 I drove a 95 C2500 with 0 features. Now you’ll never get me back out of a Lexus haha.
91 fireball 6spd
Firehawk?
I have an 84 transamp original owner.42803 miles 305 I output 6 speed at 5 speed this week.Yeah, I just got needs a little too healthy and I got a 97 formula.That's the monster car
That’s awesome! Being an original owner that long is rare!
💯
HELLO! Tomorrow I will take a look to a 87 Yellow Formula 5.0 Automatic
Did you get it?
What year is your vehicle sir.
1989 😎
Saw an 8.1L for sale yesterday. Gone today
We all want one for sure!
I had an ‘89 Iroc brand new. Another thing to check are cracked A pillars. I tweaked both of mine from drag racing it and basically just driving it hard.
I think I heard something similar about C3 vetts if you take the top off and drive them or jack them they get out of wack.
Been considering getting a used Avalanche, putting a 5.3L LS EFI in it, and a topper on it, then putting down the mid gate.
Those toppers are rare, I think snugtop is the manufacturer.
Nice Avalanche. I always love the GMT800 platform. Im a Suburban Z71 owner and adore it. Highly underrated IMO. Debating on new 5.3 or 6.0 when its time. Current 5.3L has 350k+ I plan on doing some long haul towing with it unless i get a cateye (will convert to round eye) duramax first. Really would love a 2500 Suburban for a duramax swap.
I’ve been debating on a gmt800 burb or a LX570 for my next car.
hah DexCool, i've been there before...
It’s great bc you can’t tell if that rust or just orange coolant lol
where did you get the apple car play unit from?
Probably sonic electronix or crutchfield.
"That's not a REAL *XYZ*" is music to my ears. Because it means I can get something for value.
Great point!
So i bought my 1986 v6 firebird off my neighbor, and the heater core was leaking onto the carpet. Very first issue I addressed. It took a lot of cursing, praying, and gymnastics, but I did manage to replace it by myself and it's holding up 2 years later without a problem. The biggest pain was connecting the coolant lines through the firewall, but every job has its quirks.
Glad you fixed it instead of by passing it. It’s always worth it to do it the right way.
I have owned 6 second gen cars over 30 yrs ago. This guy knows his stuff.
Appreciate it!
I had an 88 tpi 5 spd Formula. These cars are fast. Bone stock with a k&n air intake. Mine ran 14.3 @94 with 110k on it. 30 yrs ago
It’s crazy how fast they actually are. I had this bird and an 06 mustang GT that was cammed and had some other cool mods and the bird always felt faster.
@@garfunkelsgarage2509 yeah birds are my favorite. I had alot of 77-81 birds but 3rd gens i had 2 irocs and 4 or 5 birds and a 91 z28 convertible and a 91 rs convertible same color at the same time.
I own a 3rd gen firebird still on project, a 2005 gmc sierra, a 2002 golg gti 😅, and a honda odyssey.....
Very similar fleet I had a VR6 GTI myself.
great truck i have had mine for 10 years and gave me better than great service only thing i have had problems with is gas into the tank and fix that problem to
Had to fix that one this one too.
Nice review. My dad gave me his old 2002 Avalanche Z66 earlier this year that was stolen and recovered only to find that it had drug residue in it, so the insurance totalled it. Looking to get another one, this time a Z71. Thanks for outlining the features. Seems like the Z71 has a lot more than the Z66. Enjoyed the video, fun commentary.
Thanks I hope you get a solid Z71!
They are very misunderstood cars and unfortunately they often wind up with people that have zero patience subpar mechanical common sense. It's extremely rare that you find these cars with the electrical system that wasn't molested. I had to pass on soo many 3rd gens that I had to settle on one with a blown engine because it was less of a headache to deal with than backyard bubba's Mickey mouse electrical hack job. All three third gens that I have owned, the most time I've spent on any of them was fixing the electrical hack jobs on these poor cars.
It’s crazy just how many have been hacked apart and had a carb thrown on them or the gauges ripped out for aftermarket stuff.
It's so cool your wife let you borrow her drill🤣👍
Not only that but she held my purse while I made this video.
@@garfunkelsgarage2509 🤣🤜🤛
What year and trim level is this exact one?
2004 Z71
I bought a 2003 suburban z71 from a friend for dirt cheap and it’s in pretty good condition. I did a lot of normal maintenance and changed all the fluids, brakes, tuned the ecm, a lot of time getting the rear hvac working. Now it’s a great road trip vehicle and is super comfortable. I trust it to go coast to coast. I have some videos of it on my channel. You did a good job going over all the avalanche information and I even learned some new things. Thanks!
I wouldn’t mine getting burb myself. My wife wants a third kid now so the extra room would be nice.
Link for the cup holders?
It’s been a long time since I had looked.
I'd buy that for a dollar
Sold it a while ago. Got a couple more than 1 dollar.
I'm debating on buying a 07 avalanche. These look so dope
I’d buy this generation for sure. Seats alone make it the right decision.
What you ssid for the hatch overhang may be valid for some. I've noticed that most times that's not the case. A good majority of the time it's due to the hatch hinge being bent out of shape. Open the hinge and look at the hinge and see if the metal is bowed out in the center. The metal isn't extremely strong and alot of people have swapped them out for the billet ones because of it.
I’ve heard both scenarios. I should ask the new owner if he fixed it.
Great vid... I had an 83 Z for three years, thinking lately about getting another.
The prices are back down to normal finally.
Got my 04 avalanche z71 in 2021 during a truck shortage. All trucks i found at $10k avg were junk. Got mine for $8k. Most fun truck i ever had.
Found my Avy looking for a Silverado m. Lucky you found such a good deal😎
I had this exact car❤
Bought my fully loaded 2002 Avalanche, new, back in November of 2001. 254k miles later, I'm still loving it. Haven't had a truck payment since 2006!
How many people can say they’ve owned anything that long? Awesome you still have it!
Quality went down after bailout. I miss many vehicles I should have kept, including childhood 1980 Chrysler Lebaron.i messed up bad during cash for clunkers.
@@garfunkelsgarage2509I did the same. Bought new in late 2001. Approaching 200k and still running like new. It’s not my daily driver anymore but it’s my go to escape vehicle for the apocalypse. Love it (even though it does have a few quirks) At 23 years it needs new bushings and I’ve replaced the stereo. Otherwise still running stock components and no issues with regular maintenance.
@@sirhcmi3are you really a man if you don’t have a SHTF plan and vehicle?
@@sirhcmi3what do you mean by quirks? like issues
The thumbnail has one of my 5 must own cars and my real dream vehicle the A-10 Warthog. Awesome
They’ll be gone soon… F35 is replacing them on base
I've had an 02 Avy Z66 and a 05 Avy 2500. Loved both, but if I were to get on again, it would only be the 2500. Some of the very early 1500's had rear diffs with a manufacturing defect that caused them to self-destruct when towing. Mine blew out and I ended up replacing it with a 14 bolt. That made a huge difference and is (almost) a drop-in replacement. Just needed to relocate the emergency brake cable tab.
Was the 2500 still comfortable?
@@garfunkelsgarage2509 The 2500 was a bit stiffer than the 1500 Z66 but still much better than most 3/4 tons.
Up here in Canada none have Rocker Panels. Bad drain designs is a fatal flaw.
Salt on roads isn’t a great design either 🤷♂️
Not gonna lie I used to hate them but after watching this , this is perfect for the wife and kids thankyou
They fit that truck/suv need we all had. Now all trucks seem to be made to meet that goal.
Just bought a 2003 1500 avalanche few days ago with 171k miles on it and I’m already falling inlove with it. Absolutely a hidden gem & im figuring out how reliable it is. Btw you kind of don’t get better than Vortec Engines.
Hope you’re still in love with it ❤
@@garfunkelsgarage2509 i absolutely am. Giving nothing but joy and a good ride!
Love this video. 150000 on my Black Diamond and it doesn't have some of the amazing features the 2004 does. Plus AFM is another headache waiting to happen. Bud despite this, I will stand by the statement that Avalanches are top tier
Appreciate the support and glad your Avy has been good to you 😎
Bold claim with tpi being better than a carb. I can fix my Firebird with a screwdriver. Can’t do that with the fuel injection
Did I say that? Or did I say better than Tbi?
@@garfunkelsgarage2509 i don’t remember, I’m not gonna rewatch to find out either 😂😂
Randomly found an 05 avalanche 1500 LS w/ 97k miles for 5k hoping to go look tomorrow!
Did you get it?
@@garfunkelsgarage2509 trying to it had a parasitic battery drain but having some issues getting a loan together. Test drove it today and it’s so freaking spacious and comfy
