Up for sale is a 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500. 4x4, Vortec 8100 engine. 159,000 miles. This is the last year this legendary Big Block engine was offered in GM passenger vehicles. Only 344 of Avalanche 2500's were made in 2006. What makes this truck even more unique is the line of options it has been ordered with: Only 125 had GT5 G80 rear differential - 4.10 gear ratio with Eaton locker. Only 44 had cloth seats, others were leather. Only 38 were painted Olympic White.Only 30 came with the manual dual-zone climate control.Only 20 trucks were ordered with the front bench seat that seats 3, and no bulky center console.This truck has spent all its life in Las Vegas. There is absolutely NO RUST. This Avalanche is rated for 12,000 lbs towing with the factory trailer hitch but I believe the truck wasn't used for towing. There is no evidence that this truck ever had a brake controller installed. It does have a factory 7-pin trailer connector. The truck drives smoothly, and has insane amount of power. The transfer case shifts between 2HI, 4HI, 4LO and N as supposed. We have done the diagonal test and the G80 locker differential engages and disengages as designed. Interior is in excellent condition. Seats have no tears or holes. Driver's seat is powered. Carpet is clean. No smoker and no pets. Comes with 4 GM rubber mats. Cargo bed has a rubber mat too and a cover. Leather wrapped steering wheel is in excellent condition and the buttons work and are not worn out. Radio, power windows, mirrors and locks work. The A/C blows ice cold. Rear seats and divider fold as designed. All glass including windshield is free of any chips or cracks. There is no Check Engine light present. The truck is not consuming or dripping any fluids. Other things to note: Under the driver's door handle there is an indentation that happened when someone attempted to break into the vehicle. On the passenger's door there are and the black swoosh sticker isn't perfect. Every once in a while, the ABS and Service Brake lights would light up simultaneously. The lights do not reappear after you cycle the ignition, and do not affect braking operation. Often times, I drive for weeks before it reappears, and sometimes it can be more than once a day. Looks to me like a momentary bad connection somewhere in the ABS harness. Salvage history. On 08/19/2016 there was a minor accident that affected grille/hood and radiator. All damaged parts have been replaced, and everything repaired. Original auction pictures showing the damage are uploaded to the gallery to eliminate any salvage mystery. The truck is fully original. There has been no frame or structural damage. The core support is original and so is the front bumper. Air bags did not deploy. Truck will be sold with rebuilt title to California buyers. The following parts have been replaced: hood, bumper bar and brackets, old hazy headlights, nose panel that holds the headlights, radiator, fan shroud, hood latch and cable. We sourced a used same color hood in excellent condition from the same year truck. The bumper cover is unique to 2500 Avalanches, and we kept it original, the plastic has been welded in a few small places. Current tires have about 30% life left. Vehicle can be seen in San Diego California. We are required to collect sales tax from California buyers. Independent inspections welcome. Fly in and drive it home. We issue a 90-day temporary tag. We can also arrange to have this truck shipped (approx. $450 to Northwest, $650 to TX, $1100-1300 to Eastern states).
