Okay guys, I thought I should post an update. I decided not to take it into the transmission shop and decided to replace the shift solenoids with the help of my sister's husband whom is a mechanic. This looked easy enough and with his help we were able to do it in an afternoon. The shifting 1-2...

The flush was done by a transmission shop a few years ago.

It's got about 170,000. I had it flushed and fluid/filter replace about 110,000. Other than that, nothing. Although I did have a replacement engine put in about 10,000 miles ago. Don't think anything was done to the transmission at the time.

Is there an easy way to tell which gear it's in? Because in all honestly, with this problems, I guess I couldn't tell. I know that it starts fine, when I drive it usually shifts rather quickly (most of the time it feels like a rather hard shift) into second. With the latest issues, it acts like...

Back at the beginning of December (2014) I was having various issues and codes for the fan clutch. Also, the Envoy was spitting out a P0757 code. My scanner said it was a "Shift Solenoid B Stuck On" error. Right before this happened I was having the classic semi truck sound coming from the fan...

It's almost a plug-n-go setup. The wires have to be moved around in the connector. I have had Ascender taillights on my Envoy for years. I don't remember what the original order was though. I tossed the OEM wiring and went with a custom setup from the start.

I changed out my cabin air filters. They're about a year old and after looking at what they blocked, it's a purchase I was happy I made! The ones on the left are new, the right are old.

Worked on my taillights more today. One of them got a bit messed up after a coat. I guess there was some moisture on the light that I didn't see or something so now that coat messed up and now I have to sand it down. Here's pictures of the progress. And a picture of the mess up.

I've been running the reverse lights just in the bumpers. I had the taillights always setup for the break/turn/park. The setup I did before was rather complicated and had more failure points. My new setup is very simple and I like it much better. My setup before is documented on a quad...

Part of them were not red, these are Ascender taillights. I'm just painting them so they're completely red. Here's a pic of them before.

For the past few days I've been working on redoing my taillights. I've got the lights rewired and now I'm in the process of painting them. I've sprayed 2 coats of the red. Will wait to fully dry, then sand. Maybe one more red coat. But then I'll do 4 coats of clear coat.

Well, after Snowpocalypse two weeks ago, Georgia is now experiencing Icepocalypse! Yes, everything has come to a halt again!

So with snow and ice on the roads today, everyone decided to call out of work today. Since my co-worker had been at work since 7am yesterday (she spent the night at the store too), I decided to go in an relieve her so she could go home. But with the weather conditions, I didn't want to take my...

You asked for pictures from "warmer" climates? Here is a picture from down south in Georgia!
