Product Overview

Chevrolet Avalanche is an upscale full-size pickup in production from 2001 to 2006. It was available with a range of V8 engines that displaced 5.3 to 8.1 liters. It is essentially a pickup version of the Chevy Suburban, and its more luxurious stablemate is the Escalade EXT.
The 8.1L big block V8 is usually found only in 2500 Heavy Duty and up. In the Avalanche, it is exceptionally stout. With the 4-speed 4L80E automatic transmission, it makes for one of the most robust drivetrains in the class at the time.
