Yeah, when I saw the 5/8" diameter fitting it looked like it would be for a heater hose. Thank you for the link, I've already forwarded it to my father since he's doing the work for me now since I'm back home for the work week. I just can't wait to finally post that this project is completed...

Thank you. That's pretty much what we custimized from fence post stock and a 12mm threaded nut. The Summit one is 5/8" though. We'll have to wait and see how ours turns out after switching the piece to the upper radiator hose.

Same problem here. Bought the black 3M sealant but before trying it I noticed there might not have been any need for sealant at factory. The metal channel seems to have just lost its "crimping" tension on the door jamb edge. I just took a pair of vise-grips, channel-locks or any other pliers...

My Dad's been working on that custom fix. He welded a nut to a piece of fence post, perfectly fits the diameter of the radiator hose by the way, and placed it inline next to the thermostat. After driving around for a bit (no leaks from JB-Weld on pilot hole through broken sensor), the...

Okay worse is worst... Drilled broken ECT sensor to use hardened-steel bolt extractor, extractor broke, now trying to drill out and nothing working, not even cobalt bits. I will gladly place this POS/PITA ENVOY for sale as is before I bring it to dealer to have broken ECT sensor drilled out...

One half... And the other half, a little shiny from the flash, but there isn't anything to see really...

I missed that one about it being a thermostat bolt. In my case I wish it was a bolt that broke off flush because if I drilled it out, it wouldn't be into the water jacket. In the meantime, maybe I can get my father to text a picture of the broken sensor, since I can't there until Saturday.

The brief rundown... The truck is sitting in the barn at my parents' about 100 miles away right now, my father is a certified master mechanic/auto body, expert witness, etc. with all the necessary tools and toys to get just about any job done, and my time is limited here with work so all...

Oh man, no one wants to be this guy. It went from bad to worse. Swapped out thermostat today and the old CTS came out no problem. Upon installing new sensor, was tight all the way because of the thread sealant and got to the last thread showing and SNAP!!! Thought I only broke the 18mm...

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll check that frame terminal/bolt, Roadie, and thanks for the picture. I'm off to local Advance and whomever else to try a "dealer only" seal by chance. It's Sunday and I need to have a lot of work finished today. Currently, so many different projects on...

Shortly after 200,000 miles several weeks ago our dashboard LCD display (Driver Contol Center??) began beeping and warning us to "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM" and the BRAKE and ABS lights are intermittent as well. Is this related to an OEM maintenance schedule after 200,000 miles? We've had the truck...

My '05 ENVOY has had both driver's and passenger's door modules malfunction. Have already replaced driver's with an eBay find and still looking for passenger's replacement. **Maybe the '06-'07 TB studies may reaveal it is a MUCH larger issue with all the GM trucks since we're already...

When you said, "Hub", did you mean the wheel bearing hub assembly? Your descriptions of the noise, especially around turns, sounds just like a worn wheel bearing. I'm dealing with that replacement right now, along with too many other issues. If it gets louder when you turn left, the right...

I've been reading around the past few mins and noticed the thermostat and temp sensor locations. As well as the PITA lower therm bolt and alternator issues. Already called the local parts dudes and I'm now off to do some dirty work. I'll check the current temp gauge position while driving...
