Posted February 3, 2007

My wife's has an 03 GMC Envoy XL (2wd, I-6) and the steering has been requiring a high amount of effort at all speeds. The effort dooesn't get harder at slower speeds or anything, it's stays pretty constant. It's been this way for a couple of years now and I have not had any succes trying to diagnose it. The power steering fluid level is fine and there are no leaks or anything that looks abnormal or out of place on the underside of the vehicle. The steering requires more effort than the steering on my 04 GTO w/wide tires so I know something isn't right. Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some ideas on this?

Thanks.

  I wouldn't do any DIY sealing. I'm thinking they need to "breathe" and need venting to allow them to dry. I've never looked into them but I'd leave it as designed.

  Truck always things it's being stolen, engine cranks but it won't fire up and securty will flash. It actually starts flashing as soon as you open the door for the truck and they key isnt even in it yet. Sometimes it will start perfectly fine, but most of the time it will not. I've don't alot of research over time, this is for my dad's truck and it's been a problem for over 10 years but it has gotten to be alot more frequent. I've been told about the chip key and the relearn process, however the key that we have does not have a chip in it. which leads me to believe the relearn process will do nothing no matter how many times we do it. Ive read about the passkey resistor, the total bypass with the ignition wires, and about the ecm box replacement. Im wondering though since we dont have a chip key, which is the most logical part to buy? So if anyone out there can point us in a good direction I would really grateful!

  I would check if it's also getting ground (one of the other pins).

  Did you do a voltage check of either battery? old could be bad or discharged, new might not be fully charged.

  Note, this can void your whole warranty, if you don't get the speedo/odometer calibrated for it, as your mileage will be off.
