This is what I've been thinking. I've had mechanic look at it in the summer with no voltage drop. This has been going on for years now, but I don't use it much. I remote start usually to charge it back up. I've removed my sound system from the battery. I've gone through a battery almost every...

Long time Member. Still own my Envoy, but it's parked most of the year.. I'm having parasitic draw in freezing temperatures. What would cause a drain in the cold while not causing issues in the warm weather? I have to start the car everyday, if I miss a day, there won't be enough charge to...

Do you have the auto or manual HVAC? Sorry for the delayed response. Yes it is an auto HVAC.. Update; so I've been turning on the vehicle remotely every day and one day recently I decided to check the HVAC and surprisingly I have air coming out again. Yes!! This means I can actually drive it...

So I've been reading a lot here trying to pinpoint my exact problem. History I've had a bad actuator for a number of years now. The air(when it was working) only flowed through the bottom and defrost vents. I bought the actuator, I just didn't have good enough health to deal with it, I just got...

Does anyone know what the correct size for the power steering pump inline filter? 3/8, 5/8 or 1/2

Pet Thanks for the reply. Did you deal with the hard turning of the steering wheel at all with your installation? I decided to have the pump replaced next week. Hopefully, after that is replaced, doing these steps you laid out will help.

I have my doubts though , I didn't have this issue before the rack was changed.

He's done a lot of work on my Envoy, I trust him. I really hope it's not the rack, I can't take the hit. Damn, this steering system is the last work to be done and the car is ready to go. I need to replace the pump, it's getting harder to drive. Is replacing going to affect this in any way...

Thanks for the detailed response. I had my mechanic do the labor, I'm limited by my health. How serious/expensive is this issue? I ask because I use this vehicle to make deliveries, don't want to do further damage to the system. I wasn't expecting to replace the outer tie rod end, the mechanic...

I did get an alignment afterwards.

Hello, I just replaced my rack and pinion and power steering lines. The remanufactured r&p came with 2 new inner tie rods and I replaced driver side outer tie rod end. While its not leaking anymore, the steering feels weird. Turning the wheel left, it feels fine. However when I turn the wheel...

I did change all spark plugs last summer with the correct AC Delco. This is also when I broke the bolt on the coil pack reinstalling it. I ended up having to put some cardboard between the pack and resonator to get the coil pack to completely sit. Haven't had any problems with it yet but I will...

So I'm hoping I can get some help/advice on my current problem. I've been noticing lately my Envoy stuttering, bucking at times when driving on an incline, usually between 40-50 mph. I'd either have to slow down or speed up out of that range for it to stop. It hasn't thrown out a code, until...

This wasn't my usual mechanic, but I agree with you. I probably won't be going to him anymore. Thinking back on it, there was a lot that splashed all over when the pump went. So, to not waste my 20 bucks, should I dilute some of the dexcool with distilled water and add to reservoir as needed...

Hello, I need some advice. I just had my water pump replaced after it failed on me this past weekend. The mechanic who worked on it said I should keep adding water to the radiator to get any air bubbles out. However, he also told me that I needed to buy a gallon of undiluted Dex-Cool AFTER I...
