This thing runs like a horse. I have since bought a Ford Focus while Envoy brain was being replaced. Huge mistake on that note and can't wait to get rid of it and it is a 2015 nothing but clutch and transmission problems. Still paying it off yet. Glad I kept my Envoy way more reliable!!!

    228,318 miles ..... The most major or thing I’ve had to do to my ( Deep South purchased and driving in ) 2010 Envoy to date is the shift solenoids in the transmission which I did myself. Other then that just a couple of sensors and an alternator and brakes one rotor and tires . It’s been a great vehicle . The reason I state where it’s purchased and being driven is that WHERE YOU BUY IT SND DRIVE IT AND WHAT CONDITIONS YOU DRIVE IT have a lot to do with the life it can have. So a California or Texas Envoy can do much better then say a state such as Michigan where the temperatures are extreme changes roads are rough and salt on the roads. Another thing to keep in mind is interstate highway miles vs city miles. LOVE THIS VEHICLE !!! Except the rear 3 rd brake spoiler ... both my envoys they snapped off going down the HWY ... a problem with envoys

Also, they are not fun to drive because you have the complex suspension system and don't feel the road much; also, they do things strangely so it's more expensive and more work to maintain these cars. Still, they can be economical for used ones in good condition, but be aware the workmanship can cause problems BECAUSE GM builds cars the government wants; not cars their customers want!!!!

    My 03 with 230,000 miles, only use full synthetic oil, replaced struts, ball joints, and other parts that wear out. It's the long wheel base, has less git up and go than the short. Or my engine is not as strong. Either way, it's a cruiser. I once used the oil sensor to tell me when to change the oil, it go so sluggish at about 13% I went ahead and changed it. I usually go about 5000 miles. To my understanding, full synthetic won't sludge up? I also use marvel mystery oil from time to time. It will lose a quart of oil, but not on a consistent basis, kind of weird. When I changed spark plugs, the one under the fire wall broke, I thought the socket was on, but it was beside it. Some porcelain fell into the cylinder. I used the other car and went to the stores, bought a bought scope camera (not all will fit, get the smallest possible) and some copper, toilet water tube. I hooked up the copper tube to the shop vac and use the bore camera to watch it all get sucked up. Owning a car for a lifetime is an adventure.

    The engine in the Denali is a 5.3 but it is not as good as the 5.3 engine in the GMC Yukon or Chevy Suburban. It's aluminum, so a lighter engine, but it won't last as long as the engine in the Suburbans. I have almost 200K miles on my '06 GMC Envoy Denali and it's fun to drive, so we usually drive it locally while using the larger vehicle for trips and hauling.

    Man love my Envoy it's an 03' & roughly has 276,000 but I swapped out instrument clusture & for some odd reason the odometer readings are reading from the new cluster which has 209,824 but my original one had 248,065 when I swapped? Don't understand the reading bring off by that margin but anyways! This thing has been a work horse for me & I wanted to get a newer GMC like the Acadia but I'm still on the fence about it! I love the fact that mines rear-wheeled drive & on a true truck frame which makes it very capable? I wish they'd make a new GMC Envoy but I doubt it! It's been so solid save for some overheating issues water pumps, radiator replacement,fan clutch, upper ball joints getting lowers done next & catalytic converter (2) transmission twice because a dealership didn't tell me I had a trans leak & the next day lost my transmission? But over all engine is rock solid! Use only Pennzoil in her!

    • @supersaiyenunlimit2
      @supersaiyenunlimit2 3 роки тому

      is your temperature gauge going to the right of the "210" mark? If it was close to overheating you should see it getting hotter as you drive it. The fan clutch is a known failure on these, and when they go bad they typically set off a check engine light. Usually, the trade mark failure sound is it sounding like a jet engine constantly while driving, with reduced power. I would get the code read by Advanced, or any auto parts store. The clutch fan takes about an hour to do, however, its not that hard to do (plenty of videos on how to change it). The hard part is lining up the fan so you can start hand tightening it onto the threads then its smooth sailing from there.

      Make sure to check for A/C compressor seizing (which when I test drive the 2002 I was going to buy did not manifest itself. After I bought, I drive it home and the compressor started seiizing. Let it run at idle with the AC for at least 20 minutes and turn AC on/off randomly to test compressor reaction.) Also, ask if timing chain has been replaced and pay attention to the idle and watch out for engine idle dipping and stumbling or it may even tend to shut off due to low idle.
