That’s awesome. They’re sure a sweet ride if maintained well

That’s good to hear 😊

How many miles before she blew up?

I am close anyone rebuild your engine? I lice in Middle Georgia

I LIVE in Middle Georgia no lice

Yup, its a family vehicle icon alright. I'd keep mine just for the sake of memories, too much sentimental value with it. The terrain is not a bad vehicle but I wish GM would do something about their stupid timing chain issues with the 3.6 engines. The late 90's to early 2000's were prime days of GM vehicles, yes they were cheaply built, but the engines were reliable, sadly they introduced DOD in 2005 and that was the end of the road.

I have a GMC Envoy Denali and it's a fun car to drive with plenty of V8 power and handles almost like a sports car. I find the Envoy a bit complicated and maintenance costs can be higher, because my 2001 Suburban is easier to maintain with only 320,000 miles on it. Both trucks only get 16 mpg, so that is the downside. These are great cars!!!

I would love a Used Good Denali

Your welcome. Thankyou for checking in:)

5.3's prior to 2005 are just as reliable as the 4.2's.

What is a lifter?

How many km do you get per tank? I'm thinking of getting one but I heard theyre gas guzzlers

@@LukeSly91 I was getting 20mpg. I bought a Cadillac cts and getting 30mpg. Love this car

@@LukeSly91 it’s a 2013 cts

Glad you like your vehicles. Yup gas mileage is atrocious on the envoy. The new crv/hrv are awesome, but I still prefer the comfort of the envoy

Yess, family had an '02 XT with 4WD and the 4.2L 6cyl, and every option under the sun. I hated on the Envoys as a kid, and thought they were hideous compared to the Trailblazer. I came to love the shit out of that vehicle. And got it sideways and much much more beating on it so hard. Probably looked hilarious that barge shaped SUV doing 180 and 360 and drifting around town. The 4.2 was decent. I'd compare to the Dodge 4.7 V8 PowerTech engine, The small displacement Dodge 4.7 engine definitely made a lot more torque and felt much quicker. Still closely on par comparison imo for similar weight and size vehicles. ('02 Dodge Durango SLT 4x4) -that truck could do serious burnouts, wonder how a 5.2 compares and the good ole 360Magnum(5.9) fun factor wise lol

Yup the pre 2005 5.3's are very reliable.

Can you tell me more about the XUV? That’s a unique design!

Yup the gas mileage is terrible. The 4.2 is slightly better

@@321verykind I love the V8 engines, but the Envoy V8 is not as bullet proof as the Chevy 5.3, because they have the aluminum heads and different sized lifters. I had to change my driver's side valve cover with a modified baffle, because there was an oil loss through the PVC system.

Hahah. Hope it’s not a big issue

In 2005 gem introduced their cylinder deactivation system which is very problematic in the long run. Check out forums on it:)

Hopefully someone can help you

I have to check, not sure

From my experience, the 4.2 has slightly better fuel economy.

4.2 and much more reliable! 5.3 is notorious for lifter issues. In-line 6 can’t be killed. My envoy has the 4.2 most reliable engine ever built.

@@Bikers_against_pedophilesmy ‘04 with the 4.2 and 4wd has 260,000 miles on it and still runs strong.

2004 is the model to get:) Good luck

Thanks. I didn’t know about that, I’ll go check it right now.

😂

Should be able to find someone in your area that will be able to rebuilt an engine for ya
