    I had to replace the drivers side hub on my 4wd 2500 '02 Av. The instructions say to not reuse the nut that holds the shaft to the hub. Parts stores don't sell the nut and I gather the dealer doesn't sell just the nut. I ended up reusing my original for now, but of course I'm concerned about it. Anyone know why this nut should not be reused? Torque stretch? Anyone know where to get a new one?

    Thanks!

    Ken the answer to your question is here: ttp://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php/topic,115322.0.html

    Consider joining the Avalanche fan club. Seem like a bunch of good guys just like this board. They have helped me solve some problems on my 04 Avy.
