Thanks again for posting this and for your terrific feedback! Installed the spacers and the grille on my 2004 and it looks awesome! Many thanks!

[@theupscale7130]

Thats awesome to hear man, that makes me happy :D

[@lasvegasbadboyz]

Lookin real nice with 2” spacers. Got me thinking about getting some for my “04” as well 👍🏼

[@UTINNI_36]

Is it just to push the tires out? How do you install spacers do you need a lift

This Custom Royal Blue 2004 GMC Envoy is tight & cool 🆒🆒.

I dig that bar up front!

[@upon1772]

I had a set of those blacked out OEM headlights on my '06 Denali, but they were absolute junk. I couldn't adjust the headlights hardly at all, and the mechanism would just strip out if you tried to adjust them. Loved the look though on yours. Thanks for sharing!

[@theupscale7130]

Yeah these are basically the same thing. Instead of the little white torqes bit on top, i used a socket to adjust them from behind :P

Like the look of the wheel spacing. Reading where wheel spacers may loosen over though. Does that concern you and what brand spacers did you purchase? Many thanks

[@theupscale7130]

As long as you get the right size snd ones that are hubcentric, you have nothing to worry about. And any brand as long as they tell you what kind of metal they use. Make sure its a good quality metal

[@VonKushmarck]

Any performance/engine issues with the air intake mod? Definitely digging your Envoy. I’m starting to slowly upgrade mine, appreciate the help!

No, none at all! It's running really smooth. :) thanks man i appreciate that!

I have a 2006 GMC envoy.with cat and a Flowmaster series 40 exhaust.and it sounds like your. I need to replace the airbag rear suspension. And I like your wheel spacers. Sharp Envoy

[@theupscale7130]

Thanks man :) upload a video of your exhaust

[@JTuned_Garage]

Doing some work on my GMC as well. You should replace the gas cover with a locking one and hood vents. These models have problems with over heating when its hot out. What i did to mine was i added cooling fans to the radiator and lifted the rear of the hood and it most definitely cools down the engine bay. I mainly spaced the hood till i install the vents myself.

[@theupscale7130]

That sounds like an awesome idea. It's great to hear you're working on yours too, I'd love to see what you did :)

[@djthumper]

It isn't that common for them to over heating when hot out. You have other issues. I live in the desert and don't have issues.

[@AncientSword79]

I have an 06 envoy and put dual exhaust mod, but I like that additional brake strip in the back. How did you install? Did it impede the back from opening and closing?

[@theupscale7130]

Dual exhaust sounds awesome! The back opens and closes fine. The only thing I didnt like is that it sort of, a little, blocks the top of the bar. For installing, it comes with an adhesive strip on the back, but for mine, it didnt stick so I had to use zip ties 🤣 for the wires, I ran it through the driver brake light, and connected the plug into the back of my towing outlet with an adapter so it hides the wires, I believe I left all the products in the description

[@AncientSword79]

[@Keepitcanada]

Good looking car bud! Quick question, did the air filter mod actually made a difference? do you feel an increase in horsepower?

[@theupscale7130]

Yeah man especially around 5k. Like when you floor it, you see it climbing rpms and then at around 5k you feel a kick. Its awesome Edit: oh and the sound it makes is just amazing

[@Donzaloon]

Notice any issues with spacers? Like bearings? And did you have to trim lugs for them to fit.

[@theupscale7130]

No issues at all, they've been amazing. I got 2" hub centric ones that were actually good quality ones, you really dont want to go cheap on them. But yeah man, they've been solid, its like they're not even on there.

[@channelfargone]

@@theupscale7130 link to those spacers please, going to put that on my 04 xuv 5.3.

[@kenbolton6843]

Hate to bug, but the link for the spacers is no longer. Do you have a manufacturer's part number? Sounds like you haven't had any issues with a rough ride or wheel bearings wearing out so would be interested in which ones you've had luck with!

[@theupscale7130]

Honestly just any 6x127 HUBCENTRIC wheel spacers that aren't made with super cheap metal. I remember mine was made from all solid metal materials. And make sure they're not like $20 for 4. Something crazy cheap like that, of course will be a risk. I think mine i bought were like $100 -$120. I have had 0 issues these. Just make sure you have them properly torqued down and you'll be good 👍

[@kenbolton6843]

Had two questions: How did you secure front wheels from moving as you torqued the wheel spacers? And were you able to unsnap the grille clips when inserting that Denali style grille?

[@theupscale7130]

I used a screwdriver inside the rotor lol and to take off the grill yeah, it was easy to just unclip them. For the new grill it bolts into the oem grill

[@kenbolton6843]

@@theupscale7130 LOL! Yeah, I put in one too long and snapped the ABS Sensor and have to replace it! Afraid of breaking the clips to get behind the high-quality plastic stock grille!

[@wolfee3767]

Hey I know this video is kinda old, but when installing your straight pipe did you loose horse power? What’s your exact exhaust setup? Looking for some ideas for my envoy 😃

[@theupscale7130]

Hey no problem. Honestly I didnt notice any loss when I did it. Honestly it would be pretty safe to say I gained some. It has a HUGE 3 foot muffler in the middle and that big ugly trash can looking resonator in the rear which makes even more restriction. For the set up, it's literally just a cat back straight. I first started with the resonator being cut off. It had made a small, but noticeable difference with sound. But mainly thats for looks. Then i had the oem muffler swapped for a flowmaster super 44, which honestly was perfect. Then after a while, i had that cut off and had a pipe welded in its place. Actually just recently i gutted the entire inside of the envoy and added sound deadening mats and a brand new thicker, plusher carpet than the old carpet. And honestly, now, when i have all the windows closed, its scary how quiet it is inside. But when the windows are open you definitely hear the beautiful i6 sound

[@wolfee3767]

The Upscale Thankyou man! I appreciate it! I was learly of just straight piping it because of power but I might just have to say f it and do it lol. Clean looking truck like always

Black Grill?

[@2010MegaScooter]

I have a white envoy, I really love mine. Have you ever had any problem with front end body roll.

[@theupscale7130]

One thing that I highly recommend is to get the sway bar end links from suspensionmaxx. They're SO much stronger than the OEM ones and really help with stiffening up handling. Definitely give it a try!

My envoy is giving me so much hell right now it seems to fall on itself or stays at the same speed just rpm goes up then stays there , but when I ease in to the throttle it gets going above 45 ? Any ideas

[@theupscale7130]

That sounds like a transmission problem. When was the fluid last changed? Is it too low or overfilled? I threw a bottle of lucas trans slip fix in and it made a huge difference.

[@UTINNI_36]

I just bought a 2004 GMC Envoy wi/75k.. I got it for a good price (I think) and the only reason I jumped on it is because it’s in such immaculate shape. It’s an absolutely good condition and I know these 4.2L V6 cuz i’ve had a few trailblazers with the vortek engines… I know they’re reliable and easy to work on and basically anything GM and Chevy are the same. My question is does anyone have any recommendations for me to upgrade from stock? It’s the XL, not the Denali version.. wanna do a air intake like he did and maybe new grill, fender flares, 2” spacers if they fit and anything else I can do to get some extra kick outta the motor haha

[@theupscale7130]

I have a few more videos on mods i did to the envoy, I'd suggest checking them out! The main two that really made a huge difference were removing the mechanical fan clutch for an electric fan kit, and a pcm tune. Bothel were from PCMofNC.
