In my travels around the area yesterday I passed about 8 Envoys. Surprised by the number I saw.

Got a Duralast replacement at Auto Zone for $30. Went back in faster than it came out and all the fan settings are working again. I wish all the fixes were as easy as this one.

Pulled it this AM and though I didn't grab a pic, it looks just like the rusted one above. Green ceramic (or whatever) is cracked but wires are fine. I'll run to the store sometime this weekend and grab a new one.

My blower fan just gave up the ghost in settings 1-4. Of course the first thing to do is check here. Now I'll need to wait until my daughter brings the Voy back home this evening to take a look at the resister pack.

After just doing the plugs if you don't have to immediately touch cylinders 1 and 6 avoid them to save yourself time and grief. For #1 you have to get a cable tray out of the way and #6 is a PITA. Cylinders 2 through 5 are easy to get to for coil swapping.

My wife's old grand am got very hard to steer after being run on the highway for an hour. Looking at it I opened the PS cap and was severely hissed at. I suspect water got in the system and turned to steam and it over pressurized the reservoir causing the problem. About a weak later it did the...

I've had a rough idle for a little while and an occasional flash of the CEL but until recently no codes to read. Changed the spark plugs for 100K service and the engine is running worse but I finally got a #6 misfire code. Thought it was the coil but after swapping it appears not. The #6 plug...

Replaced the CPAS. Drove it to warm up the front O2 sensor but didn't tackle that.

Saw something similar today at lunch. Boat was on the Talley at am angle so it would fit going down the road.

For some reason Tapatalk wouldn't let me quote a post... Yes a soft cover can be cut through in a second which is why I almost never lock the tail gate. Most of the time the only things back there are a wood board in the liner pockets to keep things from sliding all the way forward and a large...

I wonder if you've got some crud now sitting in the bottom of the cooling box and that's giving you the odor. I have now idea how to get in there to take a look though.

I like the bit more rounded features as compared to a Voy.

Have you checked the condensate drain line? Hade the one way valve at the firewall in the engine bay on a Dodge get plugged up with stuff from a tree I parked under. Backed up the condensate and that started smelling. I've never looked for the drain in the Voy but its probably lower right of...

Late to this party but that extra circuitry is probably a DC-DC converter and is boosting the voltage. In the process its going to generate RF that will easily take out the AM radio. Possibly putting more than one ferrite core on each set of wires may help. But these noise generators are so...

Yes! Another Silverado in the house to help keep mine company. There is a lot of AFM/DoD basing on another GM truck forum I used to visit but have pretty much stoped since they were taken over by a company up in Canada. However the site has no where near the technical expertise that can be...
