2002 Must Have Parts
« on: July 20, 2009, 09:14:23 AM »
Hey Everyone,

Since Egypt has few to no replacement parts for the avalanche I was wondering what you guys would recommend me stocking up on while I visit Saudi Arabia.  They've got many dealerships and "Auto zones" I can visit in order to get what I need.

Performance wise,
Completely Stock Av...  :(

So far I just hit 100,000K Miles on the AV...  I plan to replace the serpentine belt with the "Gatorback" I got from the States.. 

I've got plenty of AC Delco Fuel/Oil/Air filters   

Ill be getting a couple of cabin air filters....

I have 2 pairs of 8 "Iridium spark plugs" by Bosch

2 PVC valves...

What else would I need or should I change? 


AND..  Im gunna get a K&N air intake while over there  :dance: and wanted to know whether I would have to retune or do wnything like that?


Thanks you guys I reallly appreciate the help!!!   

Lol, and I'll get the stupid dimmer switch too....  :cheesy1:

Im going to need a water pump too I think...  Everytime I turn on the AC I hear these wierd ringing/rattling sound coming from the engine and from what Ive observed/read on these sites, the bearings from the pump usually wear out and make the same noise.

If the noise occurs when you turn the a/c on it's more likely the compressor than the water pump.

If you get a K&N Kit don't forget the Recharge kit for it and also a MAF cleaner. I did my MAF on my 02 for the first time at 100K and it woke up
the truck. Now on my 08 I do it every 5K. How about some good Wax? and other cleaners..

1) Gas filter (Have a spare Gas filter  :goodstuff:)
2) Shocks...  I'll look into
3) Spark plug wires?  Do they corrode?  Why?
4) Air filter for the engine (Have one  :goodstuff:  but I'd like to upgrade the intake to a K&N or a AEM Brute Force)
5) Wipers..  Haha, practically no rain (and I've got a spare set  :goodstuff:)
6) Brake Pads (I recently replaced em...  should probably get another set though)

Thanks John!  I'll add the shocks and Spark plug wires to the list!

I think you said you just hit 100k mileage .... if so and the wire have never been replaced, now is a good time .... yes they can deteroriate over time .... I usually change mine every 50k ..... and if you can upgrade to Taylor Thundervolt wires .... very nice upgrade .... I know they made them for my '03 ... not sure about the '02 ...

shocks would be the same answer .... should be changed every 50k .... and I upgraded to Rancho rs9000xl shocks ... very nice!!! .... I got the adjustable ones .... but I also had a z-71 4x4 ....
