    In response to chevsforever

Here are my comments to a few of the latest posts, from my perspective and situation.
For the issue on the dealer not fixing the brake for free; I am under warentte, they know about this in other trucks of those years and have even put together a 'repair package'. My point on this is that , belive it or not, I have not misused or failed to maintain my truck, and my parking/emergency brake has failed. Others have had the similar expierence, the dealer has seen the same. There have been numourous posts on it possibly being a flaw, yet GM is not addressing this and while it is a safety issue (I think we all agree on that)
Another point: I love my Chevy too! You couldn't find a bigger advocate for the Avalanche. Heck, I even have a 53 chevy and a 01 Suburban. Go Chevy
Next: As for taking apart the rear and rebuilding it, that is not an option for everyone. A lot of us on the board are a little more mechanically inclined and up for that, however what about the majority of chevy truck owners. The suburban is mainly sold to women with families. Most of them are not on this board and know about this. What do you think Chevy owes them?
OK, enough soapbox. How about a wrap up by a call to action?
We can either keep gripping or do something about this. I am open to any ideas and comments from 'nothing, let it ride' to a petition to storming the gates at GM
Just starting on my 53 Bel Air restoration, still!
