I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy an Envoy next spring.

Can anybody tell me where they're assembled? The wife and I like to visit assembly plants and watch the cars/trucks being made. I know that XL models are finished in Okla. City, but where are standard models assembled?

Also, any Envoy owners out there care to give a little 'personal testimony'? Likes, dislikes, etc., :D

I don't know for sure where they're made, but I think it's OK. The Enovys are very good trucks. My Grandma bought one over a year ago and it has been great so far.

For Colorado fans, Shreveport is gearing up for production of that vehicle to start real soon:

The UAW local 2166 is the union in the Shreveport plant. Anyway, the new Colorado looks sharp. A nice replacement for the tired S-10.

OK.

Some of you are kinda correct.

 

The TrailBlazer EXT & Envoy XL are built at the Oklahoma City, OK plant.

The TrailBlazer & Envoy are built at the Moraine,OH plant.

 

Shreveport,LA currently builds the S-10 and Sonoma and will be switching entirely to the Colorado and Canyon very shortly.

 

Here's a link to GM's assembly plants and the vehicles they build.

Guys,

Don't put too much stock into that UAW website. It must be very old. Their info is somewhat off.

 

There is no turbo I5. There is no 6-speed manual. The vehicle is not near the size of a Dodge Dakota. It has no relation to the S-10 or Sonoma. It shares NO parts with S-10, Sonoma, Blazer, Jimmy, TrailBlazer, Envoy, etc.

 

They don't even have a picture of the truck up. They're still using the rendering that is about a year old.

My 2003 Envoy was also made at the Dayton OH (Moraine) assembly plant. The assembly plant is off Interstate 75 in the south Dayton suburb of Moraine. :seeya:

 

I like my 2003 Envoy very much overall. I origionally was looking at the Trailblazer LTZ. I drove 3 or 4 of each of the Trailblazers and Envoys, and came to the conclusion the Envoy worked best for me. The seats were more comfortable and the ride seemed better and quieter in the Envoy. The I6 is a very good powerful engine, just a little thirsty. The brakes could be better in stopping power.

Dayton, Ohio is where they build the Trailblazer and Envoy nonextended models, Oklahoma city the extended models. Shreveport is where th S-10 and soon the Colorado and Canyon are made. Linden is where they build the 4 door S-10 and the Blazer.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
