07 Avalanche Z71 4x4 3 problems
I just traded in my 05 Avalanche on an 07 Avalanche Z71 4x4. I test drove this truck in the rain, and did not notice the following problems, and frankly dont know if the dealership rigged them not to do this or what.
1- The front bumper squeaks at low speed over small bumps. It is loud enough to be quite annoying. I have determined it to be the bumper just by pushing down on the front middle of it. It is not the shocks, as I have read that seems to be the problem with some of these. The bumper will also squeak periodically when a door is closed. Solutions?
2- The drivers front door sounds like it is not closed all the way, and makes a thumping noise when I hit bumps. I have pushed down on the door, pulled up, pushed it out and pulled it in while driving, and nothing seems to make it stop.
3- When I open any door, the CD player sounds like it is turning to change discs for about twenty seconds. Its not something I cant live with, but if anyone knows whats up, Id like to hear a fix on it.
Thanks!

This is Steve Grauel, I have a 76 Cadillac that was listed on eBay.
I can't seem to send any messages via eBay, it keeps telling me that "you have exceeded your daily limit"
even though I have yet to be able to send one email that day.
I had to cross ref your txcop224 to this site, I hope you don't mind.
We still have the Caddy, we MUST sell it by August 1st, as I'm leaving the country then.
We've dropped the price to sell it. To $2500,
The caddy is in Dallas, I can drive it to Cleburne if you're interested in buying it.
I have a clear title on it.
Please let me know at stevegrauel@yahoo.com or by text
Thanks

2008 Avalanche - sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I was driving today and had to swerve to miss a huge pothole, hit the curb. I wasn't doing anymore than 20mph when I did. As soon as I looked down, my dash was flashing at me - "service 4WD..." , "stabilitrak off" , "service stabilitrak" , "ABS off" . Why would this happen when I lightly hit a curb? I've hit huge potholes going faster and shaken the truck hard with nothing like this happening. The truck was in mint condition up til this. I had an accident 15 months ago and had a long list of repairs including new frame and transmission. It had worked perfect since. Not sure what happened, hoping it's not some hugely expensive issue.

probably damaged the wheel speed sensor or hub. If the steering wheel is off-centre the stability system will set rationality codes.
hitting a curb at 20mph is hard enough to damage wheels and suspension components. If the steering wheel is off-centre, something is bent. Hard a shop pull the abs codes, inspect the wheel, suspension and have the alignment checked.
