A few recommendations here: Remove jewelry such as rings and watches for safety purposes, so they don’t catch. Wear mechanics gloves to protect your hands and long sleeves to protect your arms from sharp objects, heat from the vehicle and hot oil. Wear safety glasses. An extension for screwing off the drain plug is not needed. If fact, it made things worse, as per the video, with spilling of oil, including the potential of the drain plug landing in the bucket of hot oil. After loosening the drain plug, you can slowly unscrew the plug by hand, with gloves on, then quickly remove the plug away from the drain hole when it is free from the threads. Better drain basins are available and cheap. Some are equipped with a drain saddle for the dirty oil filter when it is removed from the vehicle. The drain plug doesn’t have to be reinstalled before draining the oil filter. In fact, you will get additional drainage of old oil from the drain plug hole when the old filter is removed. Start with clean surfaces and avoid cross-contamination. Engine bays should be cleaned before oil changes, reducing the likelihood of contaminants introduced into the engine while the dipstick and oil fill cap are removed. The dipstick should be removed and cleaned of old oil, before dipping it back into the engine freshly filled with new oil. As others have pointed out here, checking oil levels when the engine is running is a no-no. If you take roads less travelled, you’ll want to ensure that oil changes are done properly!

I like that jack. I didn't know you could jack it up there either.

Se le puede poner una palanca de cambios al piso a una avalanche 2003 ?

Was really waiting to hear how much oil was lost after this job. Didn't look like much, so I guess I'll just assume that I don't need to do this during an oil change, and just fix mine rn. Been holding off cause I thought the oil loss would be greater. Thx for video though. 👍

Is that clip holding the plunger rod to the pedal, on the passenger side or driver side of the pedal? BTW - a 6'3" 290# guy trying to get under there to remove the clip....whew, LOL!

My 2000 Hyun. Son. 2.5L tensioner has no 3/8 ratchet hole. You call it a socket hole it is a 3/8 "ratchet" hole. But mine has a square 17 mm raised nub. Use an end wrench to release tension.

Things like this really annoy me, like Chevy couldn't just spend and extra $10 per vehicle to make the part the right way from the beginning...?

Test it with the parking brake lever before putting anything back together

Looks like you left the filler and vent tubes connected when dropping it. Thats good, the clamp on mine looks rusted. might change it after I drop the tank. I will be using a motorcycle lift, hope that works!

I got a 07 avalanche thats at 294000 miles running great

I've got both a Sierra and a Ford Ranger. The Ranger doesn't have a hook, just the cable, and there's never been an issue with it (I let down the tire and lubricate the cable and mechanism once a year). I was surprised when I found out about the hook on my GM, and of course, it's totally seized. Add unnecessary mechanical complexity to a dirt and corrosion-prone area and there's always gonna be trouble!

Priceless Really. Really. Appreciate it

hack

Did this today with that same gasket

Thanks from across the pond👍👍👍

♥️

I still have my original 2002 avalanche as original owner. Only issue brakes lines. Otherwise it’s still an awesome truck. Many camping trips, vs tent. Custom rear screen instead of glass when camping Tows and handles awesome. It’s starting to show it’s age but otherwise great truck

Really you hit over there 4hits 4hits 4 hits here n there it came off?

I did it, the fact that engineers designed this nightmare is shocking.

I got a 07, love it

Fantastic video man! Will be saving this for my 2004 Escalade upgrades

GM junk sucks, why plastic, but they use is so shoddy it breaks too.

On the top rear of the fuel tank there is a little nipple thing that has a hose that connects to the evap system the previous owner cut that nipple. I can't find the name of the part or the part for sale.

I just did the same thing, 2 hrs to get this thing out. Lucky thing I was at home getting ready to put in a new hitch. Glad it was home

Thank you for the video! Follow up question, where do you get the torque specs for the car? Can't find any manual that details this.

Worst design ever I took mine down and never put it back

No no no...if you have. AFM its junk period

Great video!! Very helpful!! Thank you

Great video! Thank you for posting.

were you able to open that tent to the side when you had it mounted on the Yakima Bars and Q30 Towers? Or did it open to the back?

Just got a 2006 z71 with 129k and starting to renew it inside and out

Hey did you screw in your rotors ?

It doesn’t make any sense to put a open gasket on something that has two holes. It seems like the fluid would just fight itself going back-and-forth.

Seeing how clean it is by the rear main seal I’m going to assume it’s the rear main seal on mine and it isn’t then all worries are gone lol Thanks for the video it’s helpful

Thanks! Really appreciate KZbinrs like you

You never showed how to take the rotors off which is usually the hardest part.

Where did you get your parts from? Link available ?

I Love my 2005 Z71 Avalanche, we bought it new here in San Antonio TX. It still looks brand new underneath. I get guys leaving notes or knocking on the door offering to buy it from me often.

Is it possible to swap to a 2020 model year cluster to our trucks. I have an 05 HD suburban

I just bought a 03 Avalanche with 111k miles on it for only 2 grand. Im very happy with it
