This 2003 GMC Envoy SUV has been my daily driver for the past 10 years. I recently paid $1000 for new tires. The transmission was replaced a few years ago with a brand new 0 millage factory GM one. The interior and exterior are in great shape considering its age and the AC blows cold. Last month my instrument cluster failed on me and I was unable to monitor the water temperature. I overheated the factory engine (lasted me to 270K miles). 

Since the car has new tires, new transmission, all power features work, ac works, drives smooth, etc. I decided to purchased a used (41K mile) engine. In the process of installing it I must have missed a plug or done something wrong (sensor, maf, etc) because I can not get the car to idle smooth. It cranks but does not idle ...as if it is not getting enough fuel. 

Here is a timeline of events:
022,000 - purchased in 2004 (2nd owner)
              - meticulously maintained, 3k oil changes, etc.
202,000 - original transmission failed; A factory new transmission was installed
              - meticulously maintained, 3k oil changes, etc.
269,000 - new tires $1000 spent 
271,500 - cluster did not show engine water temp. I ran it hot and engine overheated. 
      - purchased and installed a used cluster (shows 173K miles)
      - purchased and installed a used 41K engine installed; I can not get the car to start and idle. It will crank and idle rough when gas pedal is all the way down.

09/01/2014 - I gave up and bought a Lexus hybrid.
09/05/2014 - I took pictures of the GMC
09/08/2014 - I listed the car on CL, eBay, cars.com for $2K or best offer.   

(in summary the body has ~272K, the cluster works and shows 173K, the transmission has 70K of use, the engine has 42K but won't idle, the tires have 3K of use)

I gave up on the vehicle because of time constraints and just purchased a hybrid Lexus to use as my daily driver. I am not a mechanic and I feel like I am in over my head. Anyone is welcome to come diagnose the car on site, and I have done my best to describe its condition to the best of my ability. I am selling the car as is for more questions or help feel free to call or email or text. 770 527 9656

mechanics special, great project car for someone that knows how to work on GM's. I would prefer a local buyer but am not opposed to shipping it at the buyers expense.

GM issues 4 new recalls for 90k vehicles, Chevy, Buick, GMC affected

Fri, Jun 6 2014

One day after releasing an internal report that found a pattern of "incompetence and neglect" within the company, General Motors announced four more recalls that affect 89,126 vehicles. One of the recalls affects 31,520 vehicles that may contain a defect that could prevent airbags from deploying in a car accident. GM said it was aware of at least one crash in which a vehicle occupant sustained an injury because the airbags didn't deploy when they should have. The company said it was aware of other crashes that were similar in nature, but it is not yet known whether they're related to the condition, in which the shorting bar inside the driver's airbag may occasionally contact the airbag terminals. If the car and terminals are touching each other in a crash, the bags will not deploy. Vehicles from the 2012 model year are affected by the problem, and they include the Buick Verano, Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic. GM has conducted two previous recalls for this condition involving 7,116 cars. GM is also recalling 57,512 models of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2015 Silverado HD, Tahoe and Surburan, as well as the 2015 GMC Sierra HD, Yukon and Yukon XL models because their radio control modules may not work, and thus prevent certain audible safety warnings. Certain models of the 2013-2014 Chevrolet Spark and 2013 Buick Encore are being recalled for a different airbag problem, which could prevent airbags from deploying properly during a crash. And 33 2014 Chevrolet Corvettes are being recalled for yet another airbag problem, in which an internal short circuit could disable the airbags. So far in 2014, General Motors has issued 34 separate recalls that affect approximately 15.9 million vehicles – more than the company has sold in the past five years combined. GM Announces Four Recalls DETROIT – General Motors today announced three safety recalls and one non-compliance recall, all of which were reported to the NHTSA on Thursday, June 5, 2014. In all cases, customers will receive letters from GM letting them know when they can bring their vehicles into a dealership, where all repairs will be performed free of charge and courtesy transportation would be provided as needed.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

GMC introduces Canyon Nightfall Edition for the steathly and stylish

Thu, Jan 8 2015

It may be just now arriving at dealers, but the 2015 GMC Canyon has just received its very first special edition trim, although the stealthy Nightfall Edition is, in the greater scheme of aesthetic upgrades, pretty basic. GMC has blacked out the truck's grille and side steps, added a spray-in bedliner as standard, fitted new 18-inch "Dark Argent" wheels with black inserts, a polished exhaust tip, remote start and automatic climate control. Naturally, the Nightfall Edition is only available with Onyx Black paint. Customers interested in the blacked-out pickup will need to choose between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, although they'll be freed the burden of picking a trim level or body style, as the Nightfall is limited to the mid-grade SLE with the four-door crew cab arrangement. "The new Canyon Nightfall Edition expands the Canyon lineup and gives style-conscious customers another choice," GMC's vice president of sales and marketing, Duncan Aldred, said in a statement. "Importantly, customers get the great looks of the Canyon Nightfall Edition and its unique content at a greater value than ordering the features separately." GMC has not released any information about the price of the Nightfall Edition, or when it will arrive in dealerships. Scroll down for the full press release announcing the newest member of the Canyon family. GMC Introduces 2015 Canyon Nightfall Edition Special edition model offers sleek, shadowy appearance 2015-01-08 DETROIT – GMC today introduced the 2015 Canyon Nightfall Edition – a stylized, blacked-out edition of the brand's all-new premium midsize truck that blends a dramatic appearance with popular features and accessories.

In addition to standard equipment on the SLE, the Canyon Nightfall Edition includes: Unique black grille Black assist steps Factory spray-in bedliner 18-inch multi-spoke aluminum wheels with Dark Argent painted inserts Polished exhaust tip Automatic climate control Remote start "The new Canyon Nightfall Edition expands the Canyon lineup and gives style-conscious customers another choice," said Duncan Aldred, vice president of GMC Sales and Marketing.
