So the grrreat 2003 GMC Envoy (12k miles) has been in the shop 3 times already and now it still is acting up. Here's what happens: You sit still at the stop light or sign or in traffic and the damn thing jerks (as if someone just gave you a baby love tap from behind), and 20 secs later does it again. Doesn't happen all the time once aday, twice a day or several days( no specific time, temp or period). So the last time after having it for 5 f-ing days they finally determined through GMC tech line that the slip yoke has play in it and in order to resolve the problem they had to pull it out and lube it with a heavy duty FORD grease and put back in. My last question to the Service Manager was: "if this doesn't cure it what is GM willing to do cause we are really getting fed up?" He said: "we will repair or replace it." Me: replace what? Him: the vehicle. Buy back time! Or do I do the Lemon Law and if I did, how would I get the ball rolling? I have to say the people there have been really nice (not jerks at all), but really drag their butts and good communication between service reps on the same problem really sucks. It's had a few nit noy things also happen, but the tranny jerk bugs a person, as to what will happen next. Since Feb it's been to the dealer 5 times and the last 3 have been this problem. Any Ideas? |

| Any advice on components for off road driving? The Edmund's review remarks on a squishy suspension, which is of concern. De-squishing it, and perhaps getting a bit more ground clearance, would be a good thing. (I surfcast in some rocky areas, and just HATE testing out boulders with a transfer case.) | |

brianbm (same brianbm from SOL?), Stumbled across your post looking for lift options for my Envoy as well. I was at the outerbanks, NC this past week and took it on the beach. All I can say is I am glad I was not at out at M. The ruts were deep and I was dragging bottom in some spots. My wife loves the truck, but I have clearance envy. My old s10 blazer had at least a couple more inches. Good luck on your search. I'll check back in here or on SOL if I find anything, Dave |

My '03 Envoy has the same tranny problem yours does. GM Customer Service upped the warranty to 100,000 and considered the issue closed. Not in my book! I'm glad to see your post about the yolk problem. My dealer can't (or won't) fix it. They claim the vehicle doesn't exhibit the problem when they drive it. Got any updates on the issue?

I just test drove the XL with the 6. It felt to me it was straining at times. I would go with the 8 for sure. The MPG is just 1 mile diffrence. For me the XL was a little too long. It's even longer then the Yukon. I will got for the reg. |

| I noticed that the 04 Envoys have a seek button on the steering wheel instead of the useless am/fm tune button that I have in my 02. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to program this feature into my steering wheel? I might consider buying a new one just for this feature!!!! | |
