2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500 4X4 8.1L LS Description

Up for sale is a 2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500. 4x4, Vortec 8100 engine. 158,000 miles. This is the last year this legendary Big Block engine was offered in GM passenger vehicles. With the 4.10 rear end this effectively makes this truck the most capable and powerful SUV GM ever built.
Only 344 of Avalanche 2500's were made in 2006. What makes this truck even more unique is a line of options it has been ordered with:

• Only 125 had GT5 G80 rear differential - 4.10 gear ratio with Eaton locker.
  
• Only 44 had cloth seats, others were leather.
  
• Only 38 were painted Olympic White.
• Only 30 came with the manual dual-zone climate control.
• Only 20 trucks were ordered with the front bench seat that seats 3, and no bulky center console.

About the truck:
This truck has been in Las Vegas since new. There is absolutely NO RUST anywhere on this 11 years old truck. The truck rolled off the assembly line on 10/10/2005 (seems to me that all of those 2006 2500's were built in October 2005) but it was registered for the first time almost a year later - on 09/12/2006.
Has 12,000 lbs factory trailer hitch but I believe the truck wasn't used for towing. There is no evidence that this truck ever had a brake controller installed. Has 7-pin trailer connector.
The truck drives smoothly, and has insane amount of power. The transfer case shifts between 2HI, 4HI, 4LO and N as supposed. We have done the diagonal test and the G80 locker engages and disengages as designed.
Interior is in excellent condition. Seats have no tears or holes. Driver's seat is powered. Carpet is clean. No smoker and no pets. Comes with 4 GM rubber mats. Leather wrapped steering wheel is in excellent condition and the buttons work and are not worn out. Radio, power windows, mirrors and locks work. The A/C blows ice cold. Rear seats and divider fold as designed. All glass including windshield is free of any defects.
Cargo bed has a rubber mat and a roll up cover.
There is no Check Engine light or other warning messages lights present. The truck is not dripping any fluids.
Other things to note:
Under the driver's door handle there is a hole when someone attempted to break into the vehicle.
On the passenger's door there are scratched letters "A" and "S", and the black swoosh sticker isn't perfect.
Salvage history.
On 08/19/2016 there has been an accident reported that states "It hit a parked motor vehicle". On 08/20/2016 it says "Insurance claim paid due to theft". Perhaps it's been stolen and crashed. There was a minor grille/hood bender and we have completely repaired the damage. Original auction pictures showing the damage are uploaded to the gallery to eliminate any salvage mystery. The truck is fully original. There has been no frame or structural damage. Air bags did not deploy. Truck will be sold with rebuilt title to California buyers. Out-of-state buyers will need to perform salvage inspection in their home state, we will provide with receipts if necessary. The following parts have been replaced: hood, bumper bar and brackets, headlights, nose panel that holds the headlights, radiator, fan shroud, hood latch and cable. We sourced a used same color hood in excellent condition from a same year truck. The bumper cover is original, although we repaired the plastic in a few places.
The price includes a set of brand new LT245/75R16 tires. We can do $500 less if you prefer to take the truck on its current tires, which have about 25% life left.
Vehicle can be seen in San Diego California. Independent inspections welcome. Fly in and drive it home. We issue a 90-day temporary tag. We can also arrange to have this truck shipped (approx. $450 to Northwest, $650 to TX, $1100-1300 to Eastern states).
