Truck has 18K miles, Don't drive it because it wanders every where, especially in windy conditions (scary) Dealer says everything up front is spot on as far as alignment goes, air pressure Can you help?
Re: Can't keep my 2004 chevy avalanche on the road!
Umm..the dealership could be wrong....they have been wrong for me many of time.....it could need n alignment, or tie rods could be bent...but you should always put at least 5-10 pounds of air pressure more then required.

batteries will self discharge over a period of time especially in cold weather
however 3 batteries replaced in 6 months raises issues
first question is why would they not charge up on a charger or a run in the vehicle
second question is the battery of sufficient size to run the electronics
have you had the alternator bench tested to check for correct out put, regulator operation and rectifier problems
check drive belt condition and tension
the wire could be a ground wire but I would think that if it is significant then something would not be working correctly
Can only help by putting in a new oil pump as well. I would say remove the heads and check where the coolant is coming from. Bad head or crack in a cylinder wall.
it is most likey a sticking thermostat it either gets stuck closed or open in your case closed so collant isnt getting to the heater core and all you get is cold air blowing into the truck.
its a simple fix you can either do it your self or take it to a mechanic. now remember there are differnt thermostes so think about the climat you live in and get one according to that
Hello;
Are you getting the check engine light? If so the electronics may have gone out. You may not need a rebuild but you won't know till you pull the oil pan on the transmission and inspect the contents. You may also have lost the neutral safety switch. It is mounted on the drivers side of the transmission. Check those out first and let me know what codes you get.
For Ponchoboy; the clunking and hissing you hear are teminal root causes. Drop the oil pan and if it has a lot of filings and metal it is time for a rebuild.
Hope this helps; Rate me highly;
