Does your TB not start automatically by turning the key forward once to the start position and then releasing? I assumed this was a standard feature on the TB/Envoy.

It starts to start, if that makes sense, but if I don't keep the key there for about one Mississippi, it does weird stuff like that. Today it sounded like it was struggling ever so slightly more than usual to start. Not experienced enough to know if this is a big deal or not.

Ok. I had the same issue when it was time to replace my battery. I would turn the key forward and release and the TB would not start. It would do it a couple time a week. After I replaced my battery, I have yet to have an issue.

Remounted the front license plate (not sure if it's going to stay there), buffed tailgate handle (repainted and cleared last week), and started my conversion to a black interior:



Also, I had an 2006+ Impala black leather armrest from one of my older cars laying around, and I realized that the shape is almost identical to the trailblazer arm rest. I took the leather off of both arm rests, and it was an even swap, no modding, and it looks awesome!

Had the resonator cut off and installed a short pipe out the back with a bit of a turn down. Sounds a bit different but a lot better than the rattle.

This happens to me, I'll turn the key over and it bogs down for a moment like its going to stall then the RPM's rev up to 1500 and eventually levels off. Thing is, this happens after its been driven for a while, then shut off, then turned back on 5-20 minutes later. This never happens on a cold start.

Nice looking tire shine as well man!

Set up a workbench for myself with all my detailing stuff.

I did some interior today as well but it's hard to do much with the carpets because I only have a vacuum cleaner and I think they really need one of those steam hot water extractor things. Pics to come when I get a little further in this project. Going to be detailing it for next day or two.

Since you have every thing blackedout, I would atleast plasti-dip them w/ chrome lugs. If you like it then I would paint them.

GUNMETAl GREY FTW. Best combo with a black car. Everyone does black rims on a black car or truck. But I personally believe that gunmetal grey would look the best.
