I have an '03 and mine broke w/o warning years ago. It was the plastic portion that wraps around the eye. I ended up fashioning my own repair as I was not sure if I wanted to go through ordering one from the dealer and taking the console apart. Besides it makes your vehicle unusable while you...

I agree with everyone here. I had to do this to my XL and my wife's expedition. The silicone spray do wonders. You will have the residual to clean for awhile, but the window performance increase is quite noticeable.

End of any screwdriver stabbed into the bottom while draining the oil works too. My first oil change after I purchased mine had a filter that was on way too tight. I had to use gmcman's idea and hammer a screwdriver through the side and use it as a handle to torque the filter off. Why in the...

Both replies are correct for this model. I have a 2003 xl where the plastic broke under the truck, thus rendering my shifter useless until I fixed it. The way the plastic slides into the metal shaft would warrant a little lubricant first to make sure that there is no friction stopping it from...

I would agree with the information for the most part. I just did my water pump, t-stat, and temp sensor about 4 months ago. A couple of additional items to help you when doing this. If you have to do tem all as I did, removing the fan and shroud as a unit is not hard and gives you extra room...

Wow. I am sorry, I have been out of touch for the last week or so. Had to do some repairs on my Envoy and working. If this is still relevant, yes. It is the portion of the wiring harness that plugs into the throttle body and joins the wiring that connects to the PCM.

Food for thought. I would rather replace all at once ; however I just replaced a front strut on my Envoy yesterday and did not have to loosen my links to get this done. My truck is an XL and family hauler and with 140k I needed the strut mount bearing brackets as mine are toast. I found...

Yikes!!! We have been around the old goose egg Fahrenheit here. Too cold to work on the 'voy until it gets around 40.

This is a code where the throttle position is not at the commanded position given by the computer. There are several causes to this code and sometimes it is accompanied by others. I had my own run in with this code with my '03. Does he have a Reduced Engine Power (REP) light with the check...

I am getting ready to replace mine because I have the code for engine does not warm up quick enough. I think my issue is not the T-stat but the sensor as I am still getting heat. I am going to replace the T-stat and the sensor at the same time. I have a question, though; I do not see if your...

After having this issue with my '03 Envoy, the site can help you. There are a couple of posts out there for the Reduced Engine Power (REP) light and causes. The codes are important and basic testing with a multi meter may help. I was able to pinpoint the suspected problems with help from...

Around here, I do not trust the chain shops. If there is something I cannot do, I use independents. Thanks for the follow up. And like I said, I am a town away if I can help you, let me know.

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have developed a rocking/sway in my Envoy and I am in the same area as you (Butler County)! I love working on my truck, but it is nearly impossible in the winter. I do not have a garage, so repairs in the snow are just about impossible unless it...

Those are your power steering lines. Likely corrosion. There are posts on suggested fixes on the site.

Unfortunately there is no quick answer to this. There are many reasons the REP light will come on and some are computer related and some are electrical. The codes are important as you see in the prior post, it can be a myriad of things. If you have a multimeter, you should check the voltages...
