New tow pig for the Pantera...
 

Traded in the little Ford for something a little bigger. Now I can upgrade to a 28. :D :D :D

Oink!

Jeff, it clashes w/ the boat!
i'll buy her back for.... 10? :eek:

2500?

Buck

now you're talking!

No, it's not an option anymore. They do offer the 6.0 liter though.

This one's a 1500 with the reliable 5.3. :D

Ok, what else ya got to go with that offer?

(Unfortunately, purple or lime green was not available to go with the boat. :D :D )

JK jeff, glad to see you're still enjoying her.
My 7yr old was asking y i sold it? "it was so cool"
.... uhhh, maybe cuz you were 4yrs old? and now you remember it as cool? :rolleyes: good timing kid.
At least he's got taste.

Ziemer how is the wind and road noise with it? I just picked up a 2007 1500 truck with the 6.0L and the "towmax package" and the noise is terrible! I love the truck other than that and I swear it could pull a house of the foundation! :D

Mine is very quiet. My other car is the new style Acura TL and I think this Avalanche is a quieter ride. :cool-smiley-011: It's got the Bridgestone Duellers which seem to be quiet.

I drove it to work today, which is mostly higway, and I've found I'm developing a bad habit of watching the instant fuel mileage guage, which also shows when it's in 4 banger mode. :D :D

They didn't make an orange Avalanche in 2004 when I got mine!

You did mean tow "rig" ? (although tow pig as in gas consumption would be accurate)

I do the same thing all the time! I noticed that when I watched the instant mileage I got better average mileage. Probably because I wasn't putting my foot into it! LOL

I have 20" Duellers as well. The tires are quiet but the wind noise coming in the doors is horrible. I was about ready to take it back thinking a seal was bad but I have two friend with them and they do it too. Kind of annoying.

I think I'd take it back.

I've got 500+ miles on mine so far, and it's been very quiet. I been 80+ and haven't noticed anything. I'll pay more attention tonight on my way home and report back tomorrow. :D :D ;)

I have the tow pig...2500 Avalanche

Both of my friend's trucks do it to. We all got them the same month. It's my only complaint. Other than that I love it.

And it pulls 10,500 lbs! :D It does drink the gas though!

Get it painted :D

Drove it home the other day 75-80 mph, and didn't hardly notice anything. One thing I did notice was a tiny whistle, which I think is coming off of one of the wiper blades. Nothing major though.

Don't know if it makes a difference or not, but the dealer installed the vent visors on mine, which may help a little bit of noise around the windows.
