Chevrolet Avalanche Repair and Maintenance

Chevrolet Avalanche ProblemsThe Upper Dash May Crack
The upper dash may crack, most commonly on vehicles in warm climates and exposed to a lot of sunlight. The common repair is to replace the upper instrument trim panel. Information on a technical service bulletin or extended warranty is not available at this time.
Illumination of the Check Engine Light can be caused by a loose or worn gas cap.
The spark plugs should be replaced every 100,000 miles. Our technicians recommend replacing the spark plug wires also at this time.

The passenger frontal air bag inflator may rupture on deployment, causing metal fragments to come through the air bag and injure occupants. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator free of charge to resolve the concern.

The ignition switch actuator can bind causing the ignition switch to stick in the "start" position. If this were to occur the actuator can unexpectedly release, cause the ignition switch to snap back into the "Accessory" position. This would cause the engine to turn off with an associated loss of brake and steering power assist. If these conditions were to lead to a crash the airbags may not deploy as expected. Dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing as necessary to correct this concern.

Posted on 06/17/2010 3:59:12 PM PDT by TaraP
A nationwide alert has been issued for 17 members of the Afghan military who have gone AWOL from a Texas Air Force base where foreign military officers who are training to become pilots are taught English, FoxNews.com has learned.
The Afghan officers and enlisted men have security badges that give them access to secure U.S. defense installations, according to the lookout bulletin, "Afghan Military Deserters in CONUS [Continental U.S.]," issued by Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Dallas, and obtained by FoxNews.com.
The Afghans were attending the Defense Language Institute at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. The DLI program teaches English to military pilot candidates and other air force prospects from foreign countries allied with the U.S.
"I can confirm that 17 have gone missing from the Defense Language Institute," said Gary Emery, Chief of Public Affairs, 37th Training Wing, at Lackland AFB. "They disappeared over the course of the last two years, and none in the last three months."
Each Afghan was issued a Department of Defense Common Access Card, an identification card used to gain access to secure military installations, with which they "could attempt to enter DOD installations," according to the bulletin. Base security officers were encouraged to disseminate the bulletin to their personnel.

This probably deserves Breaking News.
Great, Jihadis on the loose in my backyard.
Mark Levin just read the Fox News release.
the plot thickens
al qaada and tollybons planning a little domestic "jihad" party, along with miscreants such as those already arrested this week trying to smuggle weapons onto military bases?
I know....It's like *Say what?
Over the last two years?
Anyone have a tally of the refinery and similar fires and explosions in the US over the past two years?
refinery fire in Texas just last week....
Doesn't anybody give orders anymore?
I think they came over to New Mexico where they could get a no hassle drivers license.
They were there in 1976 when I was there in training for security police...and the we had to "bow" them was crazy.
ENCOURAGED to disseminate info!!!!
Their mugs should be plastered on every billboard, website, blog, etc.!
What a strange news release.
The following 17 Afghan military members have gone AWOL from an Air Force base in Texas and are being sought in a nationwide alert in the U.S.
Abdul Ghani Barakzai, born 8/8/1977
Mohd Ali Karimi, born 9/3/1982
Mohammad Nasim Fateh Zada, born 12/4/1966
Aminullah Sangarwal, born 8/27/1982
Mohd Ahmadi, born 5/5/1978
Ahad Abdulahad, born 5/5/1984
Sayed Qadir Shah Habiby, born 5/7/1985
Javed Aryan a.k.a. Aryan Javed, born 1/1/1987
Mirwais Qassmi, born 4/24/1974

Khan Padshah Amiri, born 4/1/1978
Great, Jihadis on the loose in my backyard.
How dare you use that term! I must report you! /s
Describing terrorists in this way, using the legitimate term jihad which means to purify oneself or to wage a holy struggle for a moral goal risks giving these murderers the religious legitimacy they desperately seek but in no way deserve, John Brennan
WTF? none the last 2 years. Weird. Can we have pictures???? please.
Bush's fault?
Look at the time. Not really breaking
You used the "T" word!
"This probably deserves Breaking News."
Yeah - back in 2008!
Maybe they're driving cabs in New York.
If is was some white schlub that beat his wife we would have photos.
17 over two years? Sounds like these guys wanted to blend in and enjoy the good life. Would you look forward to returning to a war-torn nation which will probably be overrun by the Taliban in the not too distant future?
Names are posted at the link - two birth dates given for one of the mopes. This is so strange.
Mostly all young guys too. That raises an even redder flag.
Is there a Hooters restaurant near that base?
I didn't read that far until after I made the suggestion. Apologies.
There is a hooters near EVERY base
Back to the Poppy farms.
I guess they stopped looking for them.....
Or mineral deposits.
Oh no - not you! This IS just now in the "breaking news". I'm thinking that the Air Force may have considered putting the word out sooner!
The first question that has to be asked is:
Could these men have been trained just as well in, oh, I don't know, Afghanistan or something?
Let's teach them English and give them pilot training.
I'm sure BO/BS has been training well to be part of his civilian force when the time comes to suppress Americans.
Didn't it occur to ANYBODY that AWOL foreign nationals with CAC cards are a risk, BEFORE 17 went missing?
Anyway, it should also be a concern when someone has two birthdays:
Atiqullah Habibi, two dates of birth are listed on the alert: 6/2/1982 and 7/2/1982
Maybe one day is on his Hawaii certificate and the other is on his Kenyan BC.
Perhaps someone should look there.... young pilots.... beer and women.... seems logical.
Yah... these guys were pilots. Presumably smart, and probably from the upper class of Afghanistan, such as it is. I doubt they'd be Taliban or sleepers though it's always possible. I'm thinking these guys got a taste of what it's like to live in America... and quickly decided they'd just rather *not* return to that fourth-world hellhole.
Good thinking Holmes!
Not to minimize the potential of this.
It is thin on details.
From experience at Lackland and knowing how these sorts kinda think-they may have been facing the prospect of going back to the pusshole they came from after seeing the states and decided to "Go Native"
They may have met some of the local "sweeties" that naturally attach themselves to those of Arab descent for various reasons and decided to go native.
They may have had what we would consider minor disciplinary problems at DLI that would earn them major problems in a society that values "saving face" above all and didn't want to face the ass whipping or worse that was waiting for them when they returned.
Or they might be scumbag Islamo fascists that used our system against us and are out amongst us planning chaos.
My vote is a combination of all of the above. Reason to be concerned.
No it might lower some subordinate's self esteem, and prevent them from pursuing a path to leadership themselves; and therefore deny them the opportunity to be in the position of being incapable of giving orders, but only "encouragement" to subordinates; whose self esteem they want to preserve so they may be able to pursue a path to leadership and so on and so forth.
Well, they're either at Hooters or they're fanning out in preparation to hijack a bunch of planes. Better not disturb Obama's game of hoops though... just start working on talking points on how to blame Republicans if something goes wrong.
Oh my words, mea culpa! I did, I did!
I guess Obama will just have to get prostrate in front of some muslim, to beg forgiveness for my mistake.
They probably learned English well enough to know how illegal aleins are treated here and figured out that just blending in was worth the risk?
I agree.
It has taken the authorities THIS long to alert us to the fact that possible terrorists are on the loose?? God help us!
Why are we soooooo stupid?

More from My Vintage Clothes Line
Late 1960s-Early 1970s Jerry Marsch for Mardi Gras Garden Party Dress
This pretty floral silk organza dress exudes grace and elegance! An appealing floral print in the most wonderful colors complimented by a simple, yet feminine style is sure to be a hit at any spring or summer party. Splashes of hot pink, blue, green and orange on an ivory canvas ....the only thing that is missing is a big picture hat! The dress has a V-neckline with an attractive notched collar with two hook and eye closures at the back. The bodice has two front darts (none on the sides or back). A skirt which is slightly gathered at the waistline provides the perfect light and airy feeling to the dress. Fully lined except for the sleeves, which remain somewhat sheer, it's not necessary to wear a slip underneath. The lining is made from a nice ivory material. In the photos, I have stuffed the sleeves with tissue paper in order that you may see the full floral pattern on the material and, also, to give you a better idea of how the sleeves would look when the dress is being worn. The dress is belted at the waist with an attached rich hot pink satin belt (almost 3" wide) which closes at the back with three hook and eye closures. The dress has a metal zipper closure on the back. There is a nice 4" hem at the bottom of the skirt. Any lady wearing this exquisite dress would surely be a vision of beauty!
Condition: Excellent
I have looked this dress over thoroughly and I only see two issues that are worth mentioning. Number one.....I believe the belt was attached with two more stitches on the back and it almost appears that someone deliberately "unattached" these two stitches.....causing no damage to the dress at all. There are two small unidentified marks on belt at the back of the dress and when measuring the circumference of the skirt, I detected two faint marks on the material. The way the skirt gathers, these were very hard to see. Other than these two very unobtrusive issues, this dress has been extremely well cared for.
Label: Jerry Marsch for Mardi Gras
In the bottom hem of the lining of the skirt, there is a ILGWU Label (International Ladies Garment Workers Union) Made in U.S.A. and a paper tag which reads: Order 2796, Style 383, Siz 14.....another tag appears in the back of the dress near the neckline which states: Dry Clean Only
Size: 14 according to the above mentioned label, but it appears to be a small size 14.....best to rely on the measurements.
Bust: 40"
Waist: 28"
Sleeve Measured From Underarm: 17"
Sleeve Measured from Top Shoulder to Cuff: 23"
Shoulder to Shoulder: 16"
Shoulder to Waist: 16"
Waist to Bottom of Skirt Hemline: 42 ½"
Circumference of Sleeve Opening at Cuff: 9"
Circumference of Skirt at Bottom Hemline: 80"
