I recently purchased a 2003 envoy and I was used to driving a chevy van for work which has more responsive steering than the envoy. Is there any suspension components that I can change to make the envoy more responsive, Maybe different front struts and rear coil springs? Thank You, Vinny

Changing the struts and coil springs will only change the ride of your vehicle, not the responsiveness. In order to change the responsiveness you'll need to change out the steering gearbox and a more responsive gear box may not be available. The gearing in your gear box can be changed but it will be very expensive to do and time consuming, as this is a very difficult job. I'm sorry this is not a positive answer but I want you to be aware of what you're up against.

When I try to park on the right side of the street my van stops making the turn.

check for central position of the rack/ steering box. If there has been recent work on the steering ,it is possible that the box/rack was not in the straight ahead position before it was connected up.

My 2003 Envoy the steering wheel was stuck to the left and couldn't hardly steer it/ then it came out of it is it the power steering pump going bad?

Most likely, the steering gear has an internal leak. They will usually not work well whenthey are cold, then after the engine runs for a while, the fluid warms up and the seals will expand inside the gear and start working. When you shut it off and let it cool, it will do it again. If this is what it is doing, you need to replace your steering gear.(Rack & Pinion Unit)

What is the cylinder order in a 2003 gmc envoy 4.2l L6

1-5-3-6-2-4 I'm going to completely assume that the GMC envoy, based on what I can gather, uses the old 235 Chevy (50's) design, since it reduced balance issues, and therefore, this would be the right sequence.

I recently purchased a used 03 Chevy Venture van. The passenger sliding door doesn't open. It worked for 1 week and stopped. The driver side sliding door has a broken handle so I'm able to open that door...

Pain but fixable. Sounds like the linkage is not connected. Even a mechanic will have to remove the door panel and fight with it. If you can remove the rear seat from the drivers side side door then you might have room to remove the passenger side door panel to fix it. Usually clips are the first thing to break on door handle/latch linkages
