If you have not replaced all of your cooling system hoses yet, I would get those. I have a 2002 and I replaced all of my hoses when I did my 100k service.

Hey everyone!

Thanks for all the responses!!! 

So far I've picked up the following,

1 x Water Pump (With the two gaskets)
2 x Monroe "Sensa-Trac" Shock absorbers #3  (First time the front shocks will be replaced)
2 x Replacement turn signal bulbs for the flaking Sylvanias
Several steering parts inorder to take care of some issues I have with the steering.
1 x ACDelco replacement Spark plug wires   (First time to replace these too)
 :goodstuff:

I'll be going back to get,

4 x Cabin air filters
As many of the cooling systems hoses I can find.. (Thanks  :victory: 02_Z71)
I can't get a MAF cleaner because I'm pretty sure the airlines won't allow me to even place it in checked baggage...  :sotired:
I have'nt found the correct K&N filter intake set yet...   But I'm still searching.
I'd love to replace the rear shocks but the guy at the shop wasnt sure which shocks would fit and whether there were any sensors or wires connected to the rear shocks on the 2002 Z71 AV...   so, I'm trying to figure it out as well.
WISH!  They HAD GATORBACK COATINGS!!!! ARGH!  I'll just import a can I guess...

As for the shocks, I know the Reflexes are probably better, but all he had at the time were the Sensatracs.  At this point I think any shocks would be better than the stocks...  100,000 Miles without a change!  AH!!! buck2

Am I missing anything?

The Z71 should have no wires or sensors on the rear shocks only if you had the Z66 Auto ride opt.

I heard Meguiar's waxes were the best and I happened across a bunch at the hardware store down here :kickass: so I picked up a can of paint wax and this other product for the plastic called "Meguair's Direct Gold Class Trim Detailer". 

Anyone know if this stuff will darken/restore the color of faded plastic on an 02 avalanche?

These $10-$14 products will do the job ok for a day or two.  You would have to keep up constantly.

Gatorback is expensive but most folks are liking "Finish Restorer".   It last longer than spray bottles and its cheaper than Gatorback.
