BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2008 GMC Envoy AUTOMOBILES
Hydraulic Brake Systems -> Description -> Hydraulic Control Valves -> Master Cylinder
Vehicle: 2008 GMC Envoy SLT 4.2 L6 GAS
Master Cylinder
Some vehicles use a conventional tandem master cylinder with two hydraulic pistons operating in-line. The primary piston controls the front brake system and the secondary piston controls the rear brake system.
Other models use a master cylinder that operates the same as the conventional master cylinder, but also incorporates a quick take-up feature in the rear chamber to reduce excessive pedal travel which may result from increased fluid displacement required to move the low drag caliper piston out against the rotor.
The quick take-up uses a spring-loaded ball check val...

DRIVELINE, U-JOINT & CV AXLES REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES FOR 2008 GMC Envoy AUTOMOBILES
DRIVESHAFT U-JOINT, Replace -> Assemble -> Disassemble
Vehicle: 2008 GMC Envoy Denali 5.3 V8 GAS
Never clamp propeller shaft tubing in a vise. Clamping could dent or deform the tube causing an imbalance or unsafe condition. Always clamp on one of the yokes and support the shaft horizontally. Avoid damaging the slip yoke sealing surface. Nicks may damage the bushing or cut the lip seal.
Disassemble
- Support propeller shaft in a line horizontal with table of a press.
- Mark propeller shaft in order to show which end connects to transmission and which end goes to rear axle.
- On models equipped with external snap ring retainers, proceed as follows:
- Disassemble snap rings by ...
