So update: Tried a new (rebuilt) encoder motor.... didn't do anything at first and tripped a code. Took it apart and found TAPE in the actual motor part and the encoder ring was missing half of it... used my old encoder ring and removed the tape and the shift motor worked. It shifted...

Thank you for the response - I spun the driver wheel in the air in 4wd with the passenger on the ground. I then lifted up both tires and spun the passenger side - and the driver tire did NOT spin. As for the reason for replacing the motor - it basically did the same thing before, where it...

I just seem to get rotten luck with the 4WD system on my 04 Envoy. Today, I noticed I doing some shopping and noticed when I backed out of parking stalls and turned left, my envoy would 'click' once really loud. I then noticed that I was 'stuck' in 4wd (despite being in 2wd physically) on the...

This is just a few observations I've noted about my 4.2l Envoy - just wondering if this is the 'norm.' I've done some work on my Envoy - with the most recent being front hub assemblies. I wanted to get the axle nut tight before I put the tires and wheels back on, so I put the Envoy in 4Low (I...

Probably in the wrong sub-forum, but does anyone have a winter front for their Envoy? I know of one company that makes them (FIA), but I don't have any clue how they would attach onto an Envoy grill (I have had FIA winter fronts on other vehicles; so I know they use the adhesive snaps, but I...

So I would like to update. I did change the motor several hundred KM ago. Since then, I have had NO issues - no codes, all the lights work, and it shifts as intended (I think it might shift *faster* in auto mode now - we have had a LOT of freezing rain here).

So as an update, I had the same thing happen - but this time, it was more 'serious.' The code tripped (and the dash light) and I lost ALL the lights above the switch. I turned off the engine and shifted it to 2WD, and the four lights (plus N) would show up on the switch when I fired it up, but...

I imagine mine would have the separate wheel sensor as the speedometer works, right?

On my 04 Envoy, I've been getting a C0055 code on my Bosch scan tool. It says the MIL is requested - but it has NEVER tripped a light. I don't believe I have any other symptoms (though I may be mistaken - it's had this code since I bought the vehicle). I decided to probe further - using my scan...

On my 04 Envoy 4.2L, I've noticed twice a 'minor' error. The first time, I was driving on the highway and it was pouring rain. I put the Envoy into A4WD just in case and it worked flawlessly - but it tripped a C0327 code. It would NOT shift to 4WD or 2WD (by turning the switch). Once I shut...

So I know it's not the optimal solution, but I did some checks. I was low on oil in the system (using a oil tester) so I added some RedTek oil and also their dry12 (to remove moisture). In doing so, my A/C compressor is MUCH quieter (almost silent). I suspect I will need to do more work in the...

I didn't check the gap - I actually didn't see any shims (would they be on the pulley itself or the clutch?). Also, the chirping goes like this: "chirpchirpchirpchirpchirp..." while the clutch is engaged, and it it's pretty loud. If it's normal, I'll live with it (of course, haha). I checked...

04 Envoy 4.2L I've noticed that my AC compressor on my Envoy squeals when engaged - It will almost chirp while engaged (sounds like a bad bearing to me). I also have noticed that the AC line going over the engine frosts up VERY easily and the AC compressor DOES NOT cycle off very often. I've...

I mean on sites like Canadian Tire. It lists the 9005 bulb for the Envoy as a highbeam, DRL; and the 9006 as just lowbeam. What I was trying to say is exactly that - I believe the listing is wrong (or that the 9005 is/was used for a DRL on other vehicles and the description was carried over)...

Ah, thank you. So the listings that say High Beam, DRL are actually just more for generic information and not model specific?
