Does an avalanche count as a truck for the purposes of this thread? Not that I've done anything trucky with it lately outside of hauling poo poo to the dump.

Sure. My dad tows a 30' RV with his all the time. It pulls it pretty well with the 5.3. It's nice knowing that it's harder to steal the stupid $400 cooler he carries in it all the time.

Thats correct, got that mixed up, 700R4, so 4L60 for sure. I'm hunting for a transmission pan with a drain plug so I can change fluid pretty easily in the future.

One thing that threw me was the 5 bolt wheels, since most of the OBS style half tons seem to be 6 bolt wheels unless that was part of a package upgrade. I'd check the factory build codes in the glove box but all the ink faded.

C1500s (2WD) all had 5-lug. K1500s (4WD) were 6 lug.
