I talked to my friends dad who used to run a trans shop back when I was a kid. He said it should be plug and play, and that the 08 trans may have had an extra sensor but that the older car wouldn't use it anyways. So in the next few days, I'll get a chance to crawl under and take it out. Just...

So I have recently bought another Envoy 🙃. 70k mileage but with a blown trans. Already have the trans out, and going through it, a lot is going to need replaced. I'm curious if I can swap my trans from my 08 into this 05. Both are 4x4, but wasn't sure if anything else was different. Thanks for...

Update again: Currently I'm in the process of finding another vehicle for the time being, but going to keep the Envoy and next spring get a motor and put it in. Lol I just love that truck. Anyways I was looking at a 2005 Buick Rainier CXL...

So my Envoy recently threw a rod bearing, and I've been on the hunt for another since the dreaded day. I found a really nice 2005 Buick Rainier CXL fully loaded with around 60k miles on it. 1 owner, pics of it look really good/clean. Just wondering other than the obvious things to look for...

Sorry for the late reply, with work and other things I've been kept busy. I went ahead and drained the oil tonight and noticed a glitter like metal in the oil at the end. I suppose with 220k+ miles anything was bound to happen at this point, regardless of my oil changing habits lol. So I'm...

Just to keep everyone up to date: This morning before work I went out to the truck to move it so I can drive my other car until I get this repaired. Car was on for maybe a total of 5 minutes. Idle was rough and seemed like it wanted to stall. Died right as I went to park it, check engine light...

Will do. I have been running the K&N ever since I gained ownership of the vehicle and tried to always get the best high mileage oil I could depending on the availability at the time. Will drain the oil though tomorrow and look and see if there is any metal/glitter shards and check back in with...

Yeah the noise is pretty constant while reving. Sometimes I can start it up and you won't hear it but that's like 1 in 10 times it happens to not make the knocking noise.

Glad to be here. You guys know your stuff! I have a 2nd video more from the backside near the transmission and rear of the engine. I will definitely do the test, I can get the tester kit from the parts store tomorrow after work. I know the truck isn't much to some but I love this thing and would...

The other day I just crested over 220k miles and heard a small knock when on the highway. Parked it at home and have yet to start tearing into anything. I'm pretty good at most repairs on vehicles just unsure if this will result in the engine having to be pulled. Any help would be greatly...
