    [RC] RE Chevy Avalanche - Roy Drinnan


    I talked to my chevy guy today (truck Salesman).  He says you cannot tow
    anything other that a bumber pull with the Avalange.  Will void warranty.
    
    This guy useually know his stuff.  But we are in Canada, so it may be
    different.
    
    Why not just get a crew cab short box and a three piece bed cover ???
    
    I have an 8.1 litre with an Allison.  Had a lot of GMC product.  This is Da
    Bomb!
    
    Just for comparison, I have pulled with the following for my last few ....
    
    1994 350 1/2 ton auto ext cab short box 3.73 rears
    1997 454 3/4 ton ext cab short box 3.73 rears
    1998 6.5 diesel(turbo) 1 ton ext cab dually 4.10 rears
    1999 454 1 ton crew cab dually 4.10 rears
    2001 8.1 litre gas 3/4 ton HD Allison Auto 3.73 rears.
    
    Three hourse sundowner with small living quarters.  Pulled I77 up toward I81
    NC to Virginia 8 mile grade accellerated from about 35 MPH at the bottom
    (traffic problem) to cruising at 65MPH at the top without more that half the
    pedal.
