    Chevy Avalanche overland possibilities

    It's not often I get to talk with an owner of a 1500. Big Dan, does your 5.3L have heat shields around the spark plugs? Durwin

    Chevy Avalanche overland possibilities

    I have a 2002 Avalanche 2500 4x4 that I’ve owned since new. The Suburban does have more interior room than the Avalanche. If you are looking to add a camper I would stick with the Suburban. I think in my owners manual it even says that it’s not designed for a camper. Feel free to ask any...

    GMT800: 1/2T vs 3/4T for towing duty

    As the owner of a 2002 Avalanche 2500 since new, I would say stick with the 3/4 ton truck. It's true that you're now considering towing items which are not that heavy, but you may in the future. The best piece of advice I can give you is that since you're looking at a truck which is so old...

    Is There Anyone Near Kirkland Washington With a GMT 800 Chevrolet Suburban?

    Hi, I'm trying to get Planted Technologies to make some seat brackets for my Avalanche. The trouble is, I'm in California. Is there anyone near Kirkland that would be willing to visit their location and allow them to measure your floors? They said that it would take about two hours. I'd also be...

    Who Has Scheel-Mann seats??

    In July I made a trip to visit Scheel Mann in Portland. The seats are terrific. Much more firm and supportive than my stock Chevrolet seats ever were. They were also more narrow. That might take some getting used to, but overall, I'm very impressed. Other than raising the $7k for the seats...

    Modifications for Hot Tropical Climates

    Hi Dan, I bought a USB fan after hearing you talk about it in one of your videos. I used it often during my trip to Mazatlan, when I was waiting for the ferry in the 100 degree heat or taking shelter in a parking garage to get out of the sun several days later. The fan is one of the best items I...

    Modifications for Hot Tropical Climates

    For those of us who have Jeeps, I'm interested in what sort of modifications you have made for travelling in hot climates were the temperature can regularly go to over 100 degrees.? I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Thanks, Durwin

    Who Has Scheel-Mann seats??

    For anyone out there with an Avalanche/Suburban, it’s a 2.0 ohm resistor. To give you all an idea of how much the seats are, the Vario F integrated seatbelt with leather, heat, map pocket, and leather armrest is $3794 per seat.

    Who Has Scheel-Mann seats??

    Hello, BruLew did you have to turn off the side impact airbags? Did you buy a custom made seat or buy one that was already in stock? Mind if I ask how much the seats were?

    Aftermarket Seats: Recaro Expert Vs. Scheel-Mann Vario F

    My Avalanche is in the same situation, getting the seats will result in the loss of the airbags. I’ll just tell my passenger that little factoid. It’s either that or you get to walk. The US is so litigious. I‘m getting the seats. Durwin

    Good Source for Paper Maps of Mexico

    Hi, I'm planning a trip to the Oaxaca area of Mexico and would like to find a good source for paper maps of the region as well as city/town maps of Huatulco and Puerto Escondido. I've tried my usual source of Amazon. All I can find there are antique-style maps. Something physical that I can use...

    BFGoodrich KO3 coming soon!

    I'm going to need new tires for my Avalanche this year. It would be great if these were out before Fall.
