Chevy LS DOD Delete in Envoy or Trailblazer
I bought an Envoy Denali cheap, but it was broken! I figured it was the DOD system so I started taking it apart and sure enough, that was it. This video will give you a pretty good overview on the work needed to complete this task. If you can do this yourself you'll save about $1200 or so in labor from my estimation. Have fun!

800+whp LS Turbo IS300 BURNOUT
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 года назад
I got a nail basically on the sidewall of my tire on my daily. It was impossible to find one new tire, so I decided instead of plugging it and being sketched out about it, I'd just do a giant burnout on them and replace the tires. Here's what happened.

From Rags to Sickness - Envoy exterior transformation

How to CLEAN carpet and leather seats like a Pro. Decimate stains

Cleaning my dirty broken GMC Envoy Denali!

I came across a listing on Facebook Marketplace that was six months old that someone posted a few hundred miles from me.

Ford 8.8 IRS Rebuild

I decided to rebuild my own rear end after getting a few quotes to do it for $500.

Custom drag spoiler for my LS Turbo Lexus. Street car!!!

      If you've already done spark plugs (NGK is good) and good spark plug wires then you could do a leakdown test. If the valve it jacked up you should be able to confirm. If it is your head it's really not that big of a deal to pull it and probably just replace the head with a good used one. Should be able to find one for like $250

    Thanks!!! Glad your Denali is going strong!!!! I love the ride - the handling. In Mexico they have a lot of Envoys, but they don't sell the V8's down there and the shops love to see the V8 Envoy - they say "It's very RARE in Mexico". Still, they can always work on a Chevy product anywhere in Mexico. My other car is a 2001 Suburban with 320K miles on it - most of these miles are touring in Mexico. Still, no answer on my repair, but they seem to be working on it. Oh, a head job in the USA is Expensive, but they'll do it for $520 in Mexico!!! And the Mechanics are not parts replacers - they do it the right way and they do it economically!!!!

  • @dennishassler605
    @dennishassler605 9 месяцев назад

    The Envoy Denali is an amazing vehicle; however, the 16 mpg is something you cannot fix. I towed mine to Mexico for 4K worth of work for 1K and it's in amazing condition and handles like a sports car. After it was all fixed up, a suburban driver passed out crossed the median and crashed into a car redirected to crash into my grill, so NOW it in the shop getting insurance work done on it. I end up driving a Corolla, which is terrible in comparison. Cannot wait to get my Denali back!!!!

      I used some "hex button head stainless steel socket cap screws." I believe I just got them from Home depot, but I don't rememeber the bolt pattern. Bring a bolt with you to match it up. I didn't worry about them leaking too much, but if you really wanted to be sure they sealed up you could use some aluminum washers or even a tiny bit of gasket material under the head of the bolt

They said get shorter screws cuz they will be too long. After 3 trips back and forth to home depot and no one knowing anything about screws, I simply filled the holes with clear silicone. Cheaper than the cost of screws and simple one and done process.

All my friends are financing 70k-90k trucks and tease me for not wanting new trucks. But then when I build my trucks out they always swoon over it. Chevy has never made a vehicle exactly how I wanted so I build what I want. My 97 Tahoe 2dr Z71 has a 6.0/6L80 swap with 14 bolt rear and a front Dana from a 73 Ford F250.
