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 recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem

Thu, Feb 11 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog.

If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.

Watch GM's new pickup crash its way to five-star NHTSA ratings

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

General Motors has just scored a big win with its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, acing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration New Car Assessment Program. The two full-size trucks had already netted a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in their crew-cab variants, but the new testing certifies them as five-star trucks in both regular and double-cab bodystyles, so GM's trucks offer top ratings across the board.
"Our incredibly capable trucks have been engineered to be some of the safest," Gay Kent, GM's general director of Vehicle Safety and Crashworthiness said. "We've designed the vehicle structure, strategically placed high-strength steel and developed the occupant restraint system to achieve high levels of safety performance."
The scores mark the Silverado and Sierra as the first pickups to net five-star scores since NHTSA beefed up their testing regime in 2011, a nice feather in GM's cap as it continues to slug out the pickup truck wars with crosstown rivals Ford and Ram.
