Gmc Envoy Sle 4d 2wd High Millage Mechanics Special Leather Interior Gold Ext on 2040-cars
Lawrenceville, Georgia, United States
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. |

2014 GMC Sierra
Wed, 12 Jun 2013Is the Best GMC Truck Ever Made Good Enough?
We've got a bright aluminum Airstream camper hitched to our rear bumper as we head up Southern California's coast because GMC says that 60 percent of all full-size pickup owners will use their trucks for towing.
Rather than forcing us to absorb its capabilities in a long-winded PowerPoint presentation, the automaker brought us to Los Angeles and handed us the keys to its all-new 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. After jumping behind the wheel of a 5.3-liter V8 model, we drove up the foggy Malibu coast (locals call the soggy early-summer weather "June Gloom") and made our way to the Camarillo Airport for a towing refresher. Once completed, a brand-new 23-foot Airstream was hitched to our aft end and we were pointed towards a campground just west of Santa Barbara.
2014 GMC Sierra Regular Cab revealed
Thu, 16 May 2013Despite initially launching in just the Crew Cab configuration, the lineup of 2014 GMC Sierra and 2014 Chevrolet Silverado trucks will eventually grow to include three cab sizes and three bed lengths. Oddly enough, our first look at the Regular Cab bodystyle has arrived in a General Motors press release discussing the aerodynamics of the new truck, with an image showing a Sierra Regular Cab testing in the wind tunnel. GMC's website says that Regular Cab and Double Cab models will be available by summer.
While it really didn't take too much imagination to figure out what the two-door version would look like, this Regular Cab Z71 looks pretty sharp with its standard-length (6.5-feet) bed - a longer bed will also be offered. In regards to the aero tuning of the 2014 Sierra, these images show just how far GM has gone in maximizing the truck's fuel efficiency and reducing its noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels. Interestingly, the press release shows visual evidence that keeping the tailgate up is best for aero - there's always been some Mythbusters-level contention about such things -but GM also says that adding tonneau covers (preferably soft) and running boards can also help improve the overall aerodynamics. Scroll down for all of this aero info in the official press release.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper.
For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011.
The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors.
