I had a Trailblazer with the Atlas Series 4200 inline 6. The engine was ok, but since it's such a tall engine the front diff sits next to the oil pan and the half shaft runs through the oil pan. When that starts leaking its an s.o.b. to pull it all apart and get it fixed. Just aweful.

I have a Envoy XUV V8 SLT! I had to do the same fixes so contact me if you have any questions. In your scan tool you can get to a screen that shows current actuator values. Either of handles/switches that opens/closes is probably in the open state. This means it won't allow you to activate either because it still thinks its trying to open the door or tailgate. Once those are replaced you can hear it try to move the 3 actuators. They are unfortunately ~$110 each on eBay to replace BUT you can open them up and clean and re-grease the plastic gears. There is a spring that returns the latch to close and worm gear that opens them. Yours are currently stuck open as the spring can't return the latch to closed.

@nate515953 жыл бұрын
@@MiztahDizastaah so the midgate won't go up if it doesn't recognize that it's in the "closed" position. I believe there is a sensor to determine if it's resting flat or up so thhat you can't actuate the glass when it's down. I had to jump some sensors to troubleshoot my midgate. The rear glass won't go up for the same reason if it doesn't know what position the door is in. The rear glass also won't raise if the roof is forward. You may have to use a Tech 2 or equivalent scan tool to do a roof relearn procedure.

Wait until you see the cost of parts for one of these. I know someone had one. He called it the HUGE MISTAKE. Rear shocks were $1,200 Canadian each. The air suspension was standard on them here, and it was an expensive nightmare. So much for the ownership. On the engineering front, the made the gate swing the wrong way for left hand drive traffic. As for innovation, the borrowed an idea from the 1965 Ford Country Squire/Country Sedan for the gate and the 1964 Studebaker Wagonaire for the roof and added the midgate from the Avalanche. They just made it so complicated that keeping it all working is a nightmare. My former boss' wife had an Envoy, and the electrical system was a joke. Light bulbs were bought in bulk. It was usual to change turn signal and brake light bulbs every 2-3 months and headlamps every 6 months. The one good thing is that the tailgate glass on yours is less likely to spontaneously shatter in cold weather, unlike the normal Envoy.

Hey JR, I had a Buick one of those. Great engines but they tend to SLUDGE up, even with routine maintenance. Switch to Full Synthetic and run motor flush for 20 minutes thru it before the change. The VVT gets all weird if there are oil problems and the gage will tell you "reduced power". The oil sludges in the pickup tube and causes problems. With it being 4wd, it is 20 hours labor to drop the oil pan ( the front axle runs thru the pan ) I let a gallon of parts cleaner sit in mine ( drained all the oil first ) for 48 hours , to break up the pickup sludge. Drained it, then put new cleaner in for another 24 hours before I drained it again and put in new Mobile 1 Synthetic oil. Try to use the Stock GM filter as it handles the oil pressure better than all of the others. A Wix filter is second best and STP is third. The trans in these tend to die also. There was a recall where water got in from the dipstick tube seal. Change the fluid often and it should be ok. I really liked my Rainier but had to sell it when I couldn't find a buyer for my other car and couldn't keep both. 16.0 seconds in the 1/4. Not bad for a truck.

My sister had one of these in dusty New Mexico, and when home in North Carolina complained that the tailgate would only open from the side, and not in the "tailgate" position. I theorized that the car's computer had to know the position of the back glass, so with only a screwdriver, I removed the interior trim panel from the tailgate. Reaching into the recesses of the tailgate, by feel, I found two optical sensors with plastic lenses - about the size of a penny. I wiped them clean, reassembled the trim, and then the tailgate operated normally in all modes.

I own one of these, best truck I have ever owned. I have the V8 model with 200k miles. With the 4.2, be aware, the oil pressure gauge is not accurate, or even real. The PCM only tells the gauge to reflect what it thinks it should read. Even if the PSI is almost nothing, it will read 40psi. The end gate latches are rebuildable, take em out, clean them, clean contacts, use a non oil based lubricant (graphite), and put it back together. The mid gate regulator is available from autozone and others, pretty easy to replace. Yours is an 05, first year of the power pedals. Fuel filter is in tank with the fuel pump. Would not be surprised if the CEL is for a CPAS, or a VVT.

I remember laughing at these because they made a big deal of that sliding top.... that Studebaker actually invented in about 1961 on their Lark wagons during a time when the company was dying and so broke it had just created the Lark by taking like 18" off their 1955-1958 body shell and giving a Mercedes-esque grille to it only because they had the franchise to sell Mercedes in the US at the time. I don't think it's that bad of an idea but clearly it worked so well for Studebaker why not try it again

Forget the trolls, handle yours. I have to say the variety in your content has been refreshing. Thanks.

I've had a 2004 and a 2005. And call me crazy but I'm looking to get my 3rd one in 2023. The 2004 I had was in awesome condition. The 2005 not so much. I took it to the stereo installation store and the guys did something to my tailgate and it never opened again the 2 years I had it.

Fabric Seats are cooler (to touch) in Texas! If you have Leather Seats and sit in a seat wearing shorts, and you will know that you have Leather Seats by the burn & your legs stick to them! You need the Envoy Tent. (optional)

Looks like it’s younger sister the GMC Acadia which replaced it. It’s a great truck like SUV with tons of headroom. Smooth ride and I really recommend it for tall drivers

2” Lift with bigger tires and a steel bumper with bars. This thing has potential! Could be a really different overland type build. Air mattress in the back with a convertible roof to see the stars. 🔥
