I am going to watch what the thing says but I am still going to change the oil at every 5K miles. Checked my gas mileage and hand calculated I am getting 15.5 MPG but the gauge says 16.6 (typical lie-o-meter) Trav

I put 3K miles on it but I don't think the oil was changed before we got it. I just know that if I would have listened to it I would have been rebuilding a 5.3L before I would like to. Trav

Changed the oil and decided I will never trust the oil life percentage thing ever again. Oil was the third most disgusting oil I have ever drained. Only two worse was from a car with a blown head gasket and the other was my F150 that had the oil as thick as tar (literally wouldn't even drain.)...

They aren't originals they are newer AC Delco shocks. I won't be able to get a side pic for a little while but if I remember I will get one up. Also took it yesterday and noticed it was 121500 miles not what I had said. My bad on that part. I seem to always say the miles higher then what it...

Here is a pic of the rake granted that was a pic when I first got it with stock tires (please ignore the tarp when I got it the sun roof was open and getting things wet) It is the only pic I have of Snow whites hearse (Yes I do call it a hearse as it looks like one to me and most of my buddys...

I will have to try the chalk test although I doubt anything will come from it. Shocks and all are fine I think you may be right about sagging springs. The truck was heavily abused before so I don't put it past anything. It is sad though because my 94 Explorer is in better shape then this thing...

Wouldn't putting the tire pressure at different spots do effectively the same thing as the chalk test? I have already looked to see if all the tread is touching the ground and such and it is and it seems solid so to speak (not sure how to explain it). I don't like the TPMS either only vehicle...

Not sure what a chalk test is. I just put it at certain pressures changing from higher rear lower, rear higher front lower, both the same and all ranging at different pressures in 5psi intervals and then drove it on my roads. Could it be the air suspension acting up? I can't tell if it is all...

Hi all, We have a 2004 GMC Envoy XUV 5.3L SLT 4x4 running on 245 70 17 Firestone destination ATs on the stock wheels. When turning you can feel the tires crunch in like and it feels like over 65mph you could roll it. I have driven tons of lifted SUVs and trucks and never really felt scared like...

Pulled the codes. Already have misfire code P0300 back and it has only been a few months. Only seems to be misfiring at idle. Also have a clutch fan code. Trav

I fully agree that you should twist the plug wire before pulling. I do that with all my vehicles no matter how old or new. Trav

In my opinion if 2 wires fell apart when taking them off then they were gone anyways so using pliers wasn't going to make a difference. Trav

Drove it to town and got the first comment I have ever heard. LOL Funniest part is it is from my cousin who has seen it before. Trav

Sorry about that. I will start a thread if the problem persists. Trav

Even with it being a slightly bigger tire? I am not all concerned with fuel mileage mostly ride. With the old tires (225 60 17s or maybe it was 245 60 17s) it got 17 MPG and that was with my foot in it (5.3L) which is better then any of my trucks (minus the 10 F150) gets. Trav
