Thanks for the assorted help I have received here on various issues with my Lariat Supercrew. I could no longer stand the "unstopable dash rattle", the sqeak in the rear seat, the minor tranny trouble, and now the breaks are causing a vibration in the steering wheel (service guy said it sounds like rotor trouble). So, and be easy on me, I now have a 2006 Avalanche Z71. It is white with the black cladding, and just about every option you can imagine. The kicker was that the interest rate is 0% for 72 months. So, my payment is less, truck actually rides better than my Ford, and now I get lots of "what an ugly truck" looks. Bottom lines is I feel better. Thanks again for the helpfull advise I received here. T

 

Cladding? Is that another word for 'lots of cheap looking plastic'?

 

I like the 07s. Good luck with your need ride.

 

72 months

 

Yeah...but at 0% that's free money!

 

Till about year 3 and you owe a lot more than the truck is worth and want a new one.

And, money is never free.

 

Sorry never could really get into the look of those. If your happy though that is what matters. Good luck with the new forum

 

Hey just think when he's in a parking lot he doesn't have to walk out looking at a shopping car smashed into his door paint. It will hit the cladding. I actually like it with the cladding on it helps when someone opens there door on your car or truck too.

u owe more then the truck is worth as soon as u drive it off the lot.

 

good luck with it i think its a good truck i might buy my wife the new one when her trailblazer lease is up.

 

Cladding schmladding. That stuff belongs on foreign trucks. Chevrolet is foreign to me.

 

sold at your neighborhood Chevy dealer and at Tupperware parties.

 

Your going to need to go to Sams Club and get the industrial drum of trim protectant spray. Thats a whoooooooole lot of plastic,pheew!

 

My father has an Avalanche, they look ok without the cladding, drives like an absolute pig compared to my truck.

 

So you sold your truck (taking a loss on it I'm sure) because of some rattles and a squeek? You added that there was a brake problem but the way you worded your post made it sounds like you discovered the brake vibe after you got your POS butt *** ugly Avalanche.
You deserve the Avalanche.
