I would be hitting up the dealer to include a free pressure check with a flush and fill since they were doing the maintenance on it for you and apparently didn't notice the coolant had been getting low. The pressure check is a simple test which basically consists of a pump with a pressure gauge on it that they attach to the radiator filler neck, pump some pressure into it, and wait to see if the pressure drops.
We have heard of so many intermittent problems that canot be reproduced that they should start looking at this as a possible cause. Have they ever found the reason for the triplets that were die-ing out at high speeds?
Has anyone out there experienced this same thing, if so please let me know at what mileage it occured and if the clutch was replaced after the TB was out of warranty. I am in a fight with GM over this and need you input. Thank you.
People seem to forget that before DexCool, Prestone, DuPont and the others used to sell a lot of cleaners and cooling system flush products for cleaning out radiators and cooling systems clogged up with the old green or yellow silicon-silicate anti-freeze. Mostly due once again to neglect.
In my opinion, if GMC was looking to sell a few more Envoys, they should have offered a V8 engine in the standard wheelbase vehicle.
Hope this will help. BTW what is AF if anyone reding this knows.
I have always liked Comp T/As and that is a great deal, but these tires have been on the market quite a while ... probably the main reason they are so cheap. I'm wondering if they are really better than the Michelin Cross Terrains which came on my Envoy ... even though the Michelins cost almost twice as much. Appreciate your thoughts.
Do you have the TSB number or can you email me a copy of the TSB. I would like mine lower. TIA
"Some customers may comment about wind noise generated by the presence of roof rack cross rails on 2005 Trailblazer/Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy/Envoy XL/Envoy XUV, and Buick Rainier. The disturbance becomes more noticeable if the cross rails are placed in positions over the driver and passenger seating areas.
The optimal locations of the cross rails to minimize wind disturbance are:
- front cross rail in line with the rear edge of the rear door
- rear cross rail 2 inches (5 cm) forward of the rear edge of the side rail."
Thanks again joeyeoj.
I've been told I have a somewhat unorthodox driving style. Must be the ten plus years racing sports cars! Anyway, my 2WD Envoy is set up for optimum handling on pavement. Eibachs, Hotchkis kit, Bilstein upgrades and the Comp T/A HR4s. I never go off road and we seldom get bad winters so they are perfect for me.
Tirerack.com said the Comp T/A HR4s have been discontinued so that explains the low cost. Since I'm keeping the Envoy until after my 10 year old son takes it to college (after his 13 year old sister takes it to college), I'm seriously considering getting yet another set and moth balling them!
AM FM (Alternate Frequency): Alternate frequency allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the same program type. Press and hold the AM FM for two seconds to turn alternate frequency on. AF ON will appear on the display. The radio may switch to stronger stations. Press and hold AM FM for two seconds to turn alternate frequency off. AF OFF will appear on the display. The radio will not switch to other stations. When you turn the ignition off and then on again, the alternate frequency feature will automatically be turned on.
Taking of the roof rack DID make it a whole lot easier to wash and dry off the roof without water running out under the side rails down the windows etc., messing up my wash job. Used to use compressed air to blow out all the residual water under the side rails.

Thanks
Thanks.....
Anyway, before I spring for the Comp TAs, I was wondering if you or anybody else out there has had any experience with the Toyo Proxes ST tires? They are not available from Tire Rack, but they are great looking and should be great handlers. Would appreciate any feedback on them.

Disregard the comment that with the 75 profile "you will probably notice significantly more body sway" than the 65. The tires have nothing to do with controlling body roll, that's the job of the suspension. You will have a taller, more narrow tire resulting in more sidewall deflection and a smaller contact patch on the road. Both will lend to diminished grip as cornering loads increase. You'll probably notice it more at higher speeds on highway ramps, etc. than driving around town.
Re: the speedo, I understand that many of the PCM re-programmers can re-calibrate the speedometers. Worth checking into.
Not sure why you're experiencing any handling woes after those upgrades. Mine just got better in a big way. Significantly less body roll, more precise steering inputs, rock solid tracking at highway speeds.
Maybe it's the tires you have on now. If you're still running the Cross Terrains, I'd start there.
Never used a Toyo tire but I don't know how you can beat the Comp T/A HR4s at $77 each!
Good luck.
I measured the openings and they will fit fine.
I got the complete kit for $37.99 shipped. Just search EBAY for Hella FF50, he has about 5 more for sale with fixed buy it now price and free shipping

These are designed for easy mounting in dificult positions. They are 55 watts each and have a beam length of over 400 meters. This should light up the road. I was going to put the stock fog lights in but they are like an extra set of marker lights for show only.
Along the lines of fixing things, I need to decide how I'm going to go about purchasing an extended warranty for it. What's the best choice at a decent price in regards to warranties for these out there? Thanks for any help.
