It's just the nature of the 4.2L Inline 6. Most chrysler engines have that whine too, including the AMC designed 4.0L inline 6. I think it sounds great, Inline 6 engines usually have a unique engine note.
That wine is almost 9/10 times coming from a pulley, at the moment, i dont remember the name of the pulley, but its some where near the A/C pulley, cheap fix 19$ from napa.
I love my 03 envoy, with a 6 cylinder has more horses then the explorer or durango, as well as better fuel mileage, i drive alot on highways, it handles like a sports car after about 60 mph
when the full-throttle upshift comes at about 6000 rpm the engine is only striding, not screaming. The smooth-shifting four-speed automatic transmission is the proven Hydra-matic 4L60-E, used in GM applications from Corvettes to Cadillac Escalades.
I just love the sound of that engine I drive my moms Envoy sometimes and I love getting on once in a while it is cool how they have made a naturally aspirated engine sound supercharged

wow, that was truely unimpressing because that wounded just like my father's old minivan, which was a 1997 pontiac trans sport, but that piece of shit died on us last year with only 167 tousand miles on it so we bought a 2005 kia sedona with only 27 thousand miles on it for only 10 thousand dollars and it has less power than our old van and sounds horrable.
how am I a dumbfuck i just stated a fact that hondas and toyotas are more reliable than gmc or any american car maker even a ford which is what i drive, if you dont believe me check consumer reports
consumer reports don't mean shit , all that is is retarted ppl that treat cars like shit and get mad when they break down, and by the way i drive a ford too and a 2004 bravada wich is gm. and there both great.we used to have a 98 civic and i was a piece of shit,we also rented a 2002 civic and it broke down the first day we had it,the interior sucks and it had NO power,so i don't see how ppl like"reliable" inports.this is usa damit so if u want inports go to that country were there made.
we have a 97 civic with over 120,000 miles on it and it has never had a single problem it been the most reliable car we have ever owned. they are rated one of the most reliable cars on the road by many people not just consumer reports

there is no way a buick can even compare with a toyota/ lexus for reliability toyota lexus and honda all take the first 3 spots on the list for reliability
the only bad thing I have heard about toyota lately is that there transmisions in the new camry are not that great other than that i have not heard anything
Don't forget about cams snapping in the 5.7L V8, transmissions going out of the Tundra, the Tundra's tailgate bending under real truck use (btw, use a GM, Ford, or Dodge for real truck work)... just to name a few. ;)
The GMT360 is a nice platform, and I believe the Envoy is the BEST example of it. Great engine, excellent ride, and excellent handling for a medium-sized light truck.
The only quirk is inferior gas mileage compared to the Honda Pilot, which itself is a good truck as well.
But, I'd take the Envoy because it's also reliable (disagree with Consumer Reports), parts are more easily available, and used Envoys in good condition can be had for relatively low cost. You can't beat those pluses.
the bravada is the best example of the gmt360 platform, the envoy is ugly compared to the bravada, also the bravada is faster because it's lighter, and 70% of the body panels on the bravada are oldsmobie exclusive
yeah, i know i diddent include those because i didden't want to make the vid to long, and cuz it started off with the envoy bravada and trailblazer, the rest came later
I never claimed that the GMC Envoy was more reliable than the Honda Pilot.
But, I did claim and do believe that the GMC Envoy is more reliable than Consumer Reports gives it credit for. Consumer Reports says that the Envoy is unreliable and is considered a risky buy. From my experience, I cannot agree with them on that claim.
And, should something go wrong, parts will be easier to find and cheaper on the Envoy than the Pilot in the United States.
I agree. I've had an envoy for 4 years now and I've never had a major problem with it that resulted in it being unable to drive. I had a minor problem with the 4WD lo setting but that was about it. It truly is a great car...especially when it goes through the kind of crap I have put mine through :)
As for the plus: you can get a good, used Envoy for relatively low cost because of depreciation, which ends up giving the buyer a better deal for that particular instance.
If you are in the market for a brand new truck, on the other hand, you may be better off buying the Honda Pilot because depreciation isn't going to be as steep; a new Pilot will hold its resale better than a new Envoy.
It's definitely an SLT as the display underneath the speedometer gives it away (TRIP B: 0.0 MI).
The SLT is equipped with a more comprehensive information center with the dot matrix display underneath the speedometer, whereas the SLE only has the odometer and the trip odometer using a conventional numeric display.

Forgot to add: I also happen to like the look of the Envoy better than the Pilot.
The Envoy has a very nice, sleek profile with a good aggressive touch to the appearance with the flared fenders.
Intersonus903 4 years ago
And, there's the name.
"Envoy" is a better name than "Pilot," IMO.

the bravada is the best example of the gmt360 platform, the envoy is ugly compared to the bravada, also the bravada is faster because it's lighter, and 70% of the body panels on the bravada are oldsmobie exclusive

The engine in a regular length Envoy is always going to be the inline 6 4200 series Vortec, SLE or SLT.
A V8 engine for the Envoy is only available on the XL, the discontinued XUV, and the Denali.
