Got a question for everyone, my wife's 2002 Envoy has developed a squek in the front end when going at slow speeds. I check everything that I could think of to try and fix it, but no luck. I had the Envoy in at the dealer, and they said that it was the rubber bump stops under the hood. They greased them, and sure enough, the squek stopped, but!!!!!, the squek has come back. I checked the bump stops, and they still have plenty of grease on them and appear to be allright, I don't know what else it could be. If anyone else has had this similiar occurance, what did you do to fix it? Is there something else that I need to grease or adjust to make this squek stop?? This new vehicle shouldn't squek like that!!

If anyone has any suggestions or help, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Are you talking about the overslam bumpers? If so, it sounds like they might not be adjusted properly. I would back them out a little bit so they are putting a slight bit of pressure on the hood. They might be just barely touching the hood right now and causing the squeak. I don't know, just a guess. Give it a try.

That is it. I used a ruler or tape measure and adusted both of these stops so that they are the same height. Then adjusted them up, toward the hood a little at a time until the squeak stopped.

Now wouldn't you think the dealer would have done that instead of just greasing them? Very disappointing. Awesome suggestion.

That is disappointing. Unbelievable, actually. Dealers suck. Hope this fixes your squeak!

Thanks guys for all of your comments and suggestions on how to fix the squek. I should have asked the question here about the squek before taking it to the dealer!!! I would have saved me some time and frustrations. I will adjust the stops this weekend and see how it goes, and hopefully the squek will stop!!!

thanks again, I will keep you guys posted on the status of the "squek"

Now I have to make you laugh. My father is my dealer and he was the one that figured out what it was before I could even investigate. I guess that is why he has been doing this for almost 30 years now. :cool:

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
