Hi,all the alternators job is,is to charge the battery,so the alternator has nothing to do with it not starting.now if your battery keeps draining down and you have to recharge it every couple of days,then it would be the alternator that was bad.but if you have a fully charged battery and it still wont start, its another problem! does it turn over and try to start but not start?? or when you turn the key over does it just go click-click-click?? or does it just not make any noise at all when you turn the key over?? it makes a big diffrence which of the three its doing,let me know which one its doing, also you can take your battery to auto-zone and they will load test to see if its holding a charge ok.....just let me know.......yz-maniac.
Testimonial: "yz-maniac obviously knows his stuff but beyond that, he also obviously cares about people in crisis. Too bed I don't have a guy like this in my area."

I have worked on quite a few chevys and can tell you what I've found to work with this type of problem. When you replaced the starter, did you tug on the fusable links that connect to the solenoid to see if one of them was burned and loosing power? There are two or three short pieces of fusable link attached to wires that power the fuse block and other electrical circuits at the solenoid / battery cable connection that will stretch when you pull on them if they are bad. If they are, then you won't have power for the fuel pump, relays and other circuits to make the truck start.
If one is bad, cut the wire behind the link connection and put a **** splice and piece of wire on it with a ring terminal,and connect it to the solenoid. Turn on the ignition and listen for the fuel pump to buzz. The fuel pump is controled by the ECM and makes the pump turn on for 3 seconds to prime the system with fuel before starting the engine. One of the wires on the solenoid with a fusable link does this. If this works, your done.
If the truck won't crank when you try to start it, check the "S" terminal for power with a test light while someone turns the key. The "S" terminal on the solenoid comes from the ignition switch, to the neutral/backup / clutch switch to the starter. You'll have to check every point in between these for power to locate the problem. One bad connection or part will keep the starter from getting power to the "S" terminal. You can use a screw driver to test if the starter is working by touching the two terminals together.
While your under the truck, look at all the wires in the harness for any chafing or rubing, I once found a wire that rubbed through and was causing the problem.
Hope this helps, Craig

If the fuel pump is new then it could just be your fuel filter which is a cheap fix so id try that first. Or it could be your fuel injectors.

I am assuming when you are saying that the vehicle will not turn over, that you mean that it will not start. There is a valve on the fuel rail, which is how the fuel is delivered to the injectors, that looks similar to the valve stem on your tire, this is called a schrader valve. You need to loosen the stem in the valve, and the turn the ignition on and off several times to pressurize the fuel rail. When you start to get fuel out of the schrader valve, you will tighten the stem in the valve. Then your car should start. If you meant that your car will not turn over, as in the starter not engaging, then you need to check your starter relay.

The Avalanche are famous for the dead battery of not driving for 30 days, Your ECM and various module has a parastatic draw that is normal for you vehicle.You also have the ignition problem. Even though you turn off the ignition remove the key the ignition draw power and this has been a porblem with your year make and model You will need to replace the ignition switch Here is the TSB Bulletin No.04-06-03-002.
