My thoughts exactly. And how many Avalanche owners actually fold down the rear seat/window and haul longer items?

Other than the alternator swap, I'm working on making brackets to mount my HID ballasts behind the bumper. There's just no room in the engine bay. The bracket will just be a C-channel. Nothing fancy and made out of 1 piece of stainless. I just made a cardboard template, but then came up with a...

There's always a smartass when you need one. :rolleyes: :jester: Well, 97 was the half-and-half year for the removable bell housing, but it is only 1 piece that comes off. Easiest way to tell is to see if there are stiffening ribs on the bell housing itself. If there are, then it is removable...

:rollin: So Scott, how's the new truck? :)

Even with a V8, I don't think it would. The Ridgeline is a smaller vehicle. How does the Avalanche do so well even though the Silverado/Sierra is available in a CC? Is it because the ride is different since it's built on a Tahoe platform? Why don't they just put it out of it's misery and stop...

I like the idea of better braking, but I'm afraid of the costs involved. You'd also need a 14 SF or FF for the rear along with new discs for the front to go with the hubs. Besides price, the wheels I want (and have) are 6-lug. Are there any brake upgrade options available for the front discs...

:withstupid:

Scoped out mounting my HID ballasts and made some cardboard templates. Replaced the front left corner marker light (the one in the headlight); it was burned out since I got the truck. Also changed one of the two 3rd brake light bulbs that was burned out. Doing so, found out that the 3rd brake...

Nice!

Cool snag! What are your plans? 7.29 gears are going right? :lol:

:withstupid: :confused: I thought it was a big red beast that had tracs on it too.

Drove it to a job interview. :thumbs:

Hey Scott, does Farm & Fleet or Fleet Farm have them? (depending on which store you may or may not have...)

Mine didn't come with brackets (they're from DDM) and I've got less room than that behind my grill. I'm really missing all the room a full-size has. :( I might be able to fit 1 ballast behind the grill, but then I still need to fit another one somewhere. I'm really liking the behind-the-bumper...

Very nice! :thumbs:

Took the GF to dinner last night and breakfast this morning. Then filled it up. Got 17.4mpg. Stuck where/how?

No excuses!!!! :fume: :worthless:

No problem! Always up to try new things. :tmc: See how easily we can de-rail a thread and STILL keep it serious! :lol: Impressive! :thumbs:

Honestly, not a big fan of it. :dunno: However, I do see what you are talking about. :)

:pfingers:

Since we're on the topic of "titles" for posts.....why is it all of a sudden automatically putting one in there? (noticed it a few weeks ago) Can we disable it ourselves or is it a forum wide thing? :tmc:

:worthless:

No way I'd rely on zip-ties to hold them in place for that long. Nope. No room. Thinking about doing what this guy did. HERE. They'd be protected from rain/snow/salt being tucked behind the bumper and I could have an extra metal plate to cover the top of them. Only downfall is that if I ever...

Tried to figure out a spot to mount 4 HID ballasts. There's no room! The engine bay is so crammed; especially compared to the Z71. Might try to mount them behind the bumper using some custom brackets.

Congrats on the sale...and sorry for your loss. Another GMT400 go bye-bye :crybaby:
