New guy here from Belize City, Belize (Central America). My Name is Shane and I've been lurking for the past 2 months or so. I bought a '05 GMC Envoy in early December last year from Copart auction site thinking it was gonna be a quick fix, but it turned out to have a blow engine. I'm assuming when the accident happened the previous owner did not shut down the vehicle and coupled with a damaged fan and radiator the engine overheated. I opted to replace the engine as opposed to rebuild after seeing the internal condition of the damaged engine and for a better piece of mind. From then to now this site has helped me out tremendously. I also have a '05 Colorado ZQ8 that I'll sell once the Envoy is to my liking. Simple things like vibrating aftermarket engine mounts and HVAC motors needing re-calibrating are left. I'll throw up some pics and a build thread when time allows.

Here are some photos of the vehicle when I bought it. No airbags deployed...who would have thought it would need an engine.
