CarComplaints.com Notes: It didn't take long for the cladding to fade, discolor, and in some cases crack. Cladding is the protective plastic piece that runs along the outside of vehicles, and exposure to both heat and UV rays give the Avalanche's cladding a chalky, faded appearance.
Owners have said the problem is especially bad on the panels near the cargo bed. Eventually, GM agreed to a one-time treatment of ArmorDillo, a protective treatment similar to what you find in any auto shop. Unfortunately, that would only help for 6 months (on average).
Eventually, GM offered another coating solution for owners within the 3 year / 36,000 mile original warranty under TSB:04-08-111-001C.

Had speedometer go crazy/stick. Did some homework and found that the stepper motors that drive all of the instrument panel gauges were prone to failure for many Chevy products. Since I consider myself handy, decided to change out all 6 motors myself. Found replacement motors on Ebay for about 5 bucks apiece. Fairly easy job - just have to be sure that you don't overheat solder joints.
