I think I like this 07 Envoy Denali 4wheel drive I believe it can be shifted to 2 wheel drive like the trucks?image
I just don't know much about 4wheel drive.

like will the vehical have to be stopped in neutral then select a gear?
how to thoughly test the 4 wheel gear select? can't go just bye the lights on the switch correct?maybe elevate the front wheels an see if both power forward and revervse? like 4wd works in both directions correct?

if the 4 wheel gear select is inoperatable is the incoder motor tucked up ontop of transfer case so tight it's impossiable to swap?
if transfer case jams up doe's that effect the rear wheel drive? or just sieze the front wheels? like in an emegency situation can the front driveshaft be removed?
is the actuater also referred as the encoder motor?
is this Envoys transfercase encoder motor though the wheel well? an doe's the Hummer H2 have this module
is this the transfercase encoder motor though the wheel well.jpg
the H2 has a none shifting 4wd it just blinks at the switch. image

here's another Denalie apparently they where also made in 2 wheel drive which mite be better for me to avoid 4wd issues plus I don't off road. now I may have to drive though some sandy yards.image

this vehical only has 149K. and said to purr like a kitten so its a women seller (I think from Ukraine).
I'm waiting on the vin# so I can completely decode the options but in reality doesn't the Denali have all options available same as the Saab97x I had? like rear air bags?
removing exhaust mainfolds an pulling heads will be alot of work but I think it would be worth the effort.
DOD delete and I think automatic fuel injectors tips on 07 Envoy please advice for mild cam upgrade for low RPM torque an can the AC condenser be left installed to cam swap?
I'd actuely prefer to purchase the whole DOD delete kit which includes everything required
all comp cam componets, cam, regular lifters (replace all 16 I think LS7) push rods, valve springs, valve steam seals,head gaskets, head bolts, oil pump, timing chain set, cam cover,valley cover w/ plugs ect.
I'd also like some long tube headers, and extra stronge header bolts, and a 93 octane tune w/ adjusted shift points for truck use ect.
edit: can I expect
constant 2 day battery drain from parasitic drain? w/ my Saab it was the rear backup camera I installed, turning off the audiovox display didn't turn off the camera. but I've read the 360 does have eletrical issues.
rusted engine hood from lack of sealant?
saggy rear air bags?
headlights lens to be cloudy not clear plastic? are head lights LEDs w/ blaslist wires
had problems w/ the Saab.
only keyed door is the driver so a battery must be connected in order to open the rear hatch?
I believe these vehical rust on the lower doors?
edit2: the DOD delete module plugged into OBD2 port is this a scam?
this mite a lousy seller if I don't get images of underneth an vin# I'm out not gonna drive 4 hours to look at a 20year old 2nd hand vehical an find a northern rust bucket.
