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.

2015 GMC Sierra Elevation Edition goes dark, looks good

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

Forget about the so-called sporty Chevrolet Silverado Rally Edition. If you want a General Motors pickup with some added style, this one looks like a more cohesive, well-done package to our eyes (though it's also not "sporty," despite GM using that term over and over again). It's called the GMC Sierra Elevation Edition, and it hits dealerships later this year.
For its more stylish truck, GMC has fitted the 2015 Sierra Double Cab with a body-colored grille surround, door handles, mirror caps, side moldings and bumpers. The truck also rides on black 20-inch aluminum wheels.
The Elevation Edition, which GMC contends qualifies as a sport truck, comes standard with the Sierra's 285-horsepower, 4.3-liter V6, though buyers can opt for the more powerful 5.3-liter V8 with 355 hp. Other standard goodies include OnStar with 4G LTE connectivity and Bluetooth, all housed in the 4.2-inch Intellilink color display.

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
