We affectionatlely named this vehicle "Arlo". He has been a wonderful truck and we have had no trouble with him EXCEPT FOR ONE MAJOR THING. He was burning a quart of oil every 1200 miles! GM has known about this "Oil consumption issue" on their 07 and 08 5.3L engines for a long time and has said that an oil consumption rate of one quart per 2500 miles was "NORMAL"! Here's the GOOD NEWS: CROWN CHEVROLET IN REDDING, CA. (Purchased there) REPLACED ARLO'S ENGINE (LONG BLOCK REPLACED AT 88796 miles ) BECAUSE WE BOUGHT A TOP OF THE LINE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT IS TRANSFERRABLE AND GOOD UNTIL 105,262 MILES. I am a 60 year old careful driver and I have always driven Arlo carefully and broke in the new engine exactly as instructed. This engine burns no oil. If you are serious about buying a GM Truck with the factory installed 5.3L engine (07-08),do yourself a favor and GOOGLE: Chevy Avalanche Oil Consumption. This will partially explain why there are so many of these vehicles for sale. Arlo is in great condition and we are letting him go because we are about to build a new home on our 50 acre land and we don't want to beat him up driving on rough roads through brush and trees carrying construction stuff. We will be buying a beater truck for this purpose. We have owned Arlo since Sept. 2012. We are the 4th owner. I believe that it has transferred owners so many times because of the oil consumption issue. We bought a tent trailer last year and had the electric brake controller installed, so your ready to go for towing. I think the best investment we made for Arlo, though, was the SNUG TOP SHELL for him. As you know, the Chevy Avalanche is one of the most versatile vehicles ever made. Add a water tight shell to it ( $3500. new) and it almost doubles in the versatility department. If for no other reason, it keeps the tonnau covers looking new! We can possibly deliver this vehicle to you if you live in the Northwest part of the US. We are going back to Northern California from Missouri for the summer and we can tow our Prius behind it to your house on our way.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites
Sun, Jan 7 2024Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
