    Envoy Torque Converter not locking

    I just had an issue of the engine running rough at idle, and then finally threw a P0017 code. Turns out the VVT Solenoid was stuck. Replacing that fixed the problem, but now the TC will not lock at steady speeds. I'm due for a trans fluid and filter change, but is there something else I can...

    How many miles have you got on your GMT

    2006 Envoy - 94,500 miles currently.

    Front Sway Bar End Links gone bad quickly. Suggestions please.

    I have MOOG's on too, but for some reason the left side keeps loosening up every 5k miles or so.

    Front end squealing is driving me nuts.

    This front end noise in my Envoy is driving me insane. I first noticed it a few weeks ago. It sounds like a high-pitched grinding noise from the front right wheel that's present while driving straight & gets louder on left turns. I replaced the front pads and rotors (they needed to be changed...

    Made custom brackets for my roof rack cross bars!

    I used to have a Rhino Rack roof rack on my Civic, and wanted to use the crossbars with my Envoy. With the weird angle of the factory bars I can't mount the kayak carrier I have. I planned on getting the rail-mount foot pack for my existing bars, but they would put the bars about 4" higher than...

    Dealing with previous owners crap...

    I got a good one. I purchased my '06 Envoy a few months ago with 62k miles. The truck still smelled like smoke so I thought I'd shampoo the carpets. After a little bit of working on the rear floor I uncovered a huge red stain, outlined with off-white stains which I hope was bleach. Apparently...

    Cold start engine noise

    Link to video:https://streamable.com/2leuu 2006 GMC Envoy 4.2L I6, 64,000 Miles. The high-pitched metal-ish noise only appears on cold starts, and goes away once the engine is warmed up. The noise will increase in speed with an increase in RPMs. I suspected a pulley, but it sounds like its...

    weird cross bars

    That looks awesome! I was going to order a track-mount foot kit for my rhino rack bars, but with our tall racks it would look goofy as hell. I like the clamp mount racks.

    Back in the game... Hopefully

    Everything went through, and I came home with the '06 'Voy! I already took the dealership advertisement off the back. After some drunken Priming tonight I should be expecting interior LEDs and new headlights too. Now I just have to see if I can remove the chrome moldings without 11 years of...

    Wow... When I sold my TB early in '11 I stopped looking at TrailVoy and kinda forgot about it. I had no idea all that crap happened.

    Back in the game... Hopefully

    Hey all, As long as everything goes right, I'll be buying an '06 Envoy with only 60k on the odometer tomorrow. My old truck was a 2004 Trailblazer that I put over 100k miles on, but ended up selling it a couple of years ago to get a more commute-friendly car. I started poking around the "other...
