Mooseman, I did as you suggested and just replaced the cam/crank sensor. However, I did order the cam sensor also just in case. Before, after clearing the code and then two start cycles the code would return. After replacement, I have started the car multiple times and have driven the car. No...

Will do. Thanks again.

Mooseman, thanks so much for your reply. There are 120k miles on the vehicle. I didn't think the CPAS would give a P0016 code, but as you say it needs replacing. I will also replace the cam sensor. So you don't think more drive cycles is the answer? Thanks, Ken

Hello, folks. Been a while. I took the plunge and did the dreaded valve cover gasket repair on my 2004 Envoy SLT, 4.2L. No need to go into the nasty details. However, upon restarting the vehicle, it gave the P0016 code, (camshaft position correlation). Note that the PCM and battery were...

Sorry for not replying sooner. It turns out the ticking noise was one of the rockers I missed tightening. Thanks for your response. Kmanz1

Hello, all, I have posted here before concerning my Envoy and really appreciated the help. Now, as they say, as your kids get bigger, so do the problems. Well, here it goes. My son purchased a 2003 Silverado 1500 4WD with a 4.8L. As some of you know, some engines had head casting issues from...

Hey everybody, Thanks for all your input. So, I thought there was one availlable. Thanks, JimmyJam. So, knowing this, is this still my best option and does anybody have any 4wd experience with them? Thanks, kmanz1

Hello, folks, Second post here. Appreciate all the help given on my first post. My 2004 Envoy does not have limited slip, nor locking rear diff. This vehicle, as all 4wd's without such features, are an absolute piece of crap in snow, ice, especially where one tire is on dry pavement and the...

Sparky, Roadie, Once again, thanks for all the help. I will also go through the check process of raising the front of the vehicle and turning the wheels, etc. Great site! Ken

Hey guys, Thanks for all your help. Sparky, Do I need to disconnect anything to check for play in the CV? Roadie, How do you check for a bad encoder or to make sure the transfer case is engaging? I did not change the transfer case oil since owning the vehicle. I purchased it with 65k mi. No sure...

Sparky, Thanks for a quick response. I need to get under the truck to determine exactly where the clunk is coming from. When it gets a little warmer, I will check the slop in the CV. Is the play left to right or in/out? Thanks, Ken

Hello folks, First post here since being directed here from another site. Hope you can help. Was not able to engage 4Hi, but no problems with A4WD or 4Lo. I can hear both motors working. I have since been able to now engage 4WD by going slow and turning at the same time. However, it seems...
