Does it have the AutoRide feature? if so, the gas shocks used to level the rear suspension need replacing. also, you may need new rear springs, if the back is sagging below the front.

You can do a GMC Envoy Air Suspension Conversion for a fraction of the cost to stay with the air suspension.

Cold weather battery drain

Cold temperature is discharging power from battery. There must be a temp differential between shop and outside. Regardless to where the battery is it should not discharge power that quickly you may need a new battery

How long should it take for the self leveling rear suspension in a 2005 GMC Envoy XL Denali Edition to almost go empty. If i let the car sit overnight most of the air is gone and the rear is low, however...

The air suspension system should stay up for several days without going completely down, which probably means that you have a small leak which is quite common even on relatively new air bags or struts.

A general rule of thumb is that if the compressor isn't kicking on several times during a drive then they are good to go. The air bags are a pain to change, so most people don't change them until they are really bad.

Rearend is sitting low.

The shocks/springs need to be replaced. Over time the springs lose their tension and the rearend will sit low. Usually it's best to replace the shocks and springs.

06 envoy has a low idle while car is running but not moving. RPM's drop to about 3000 when car is warmed up and sitting at a light or not moving. It then revs up to normal when driving

First check the air filter for restrictions.
Second try cleaning the throttle body. It will build up a carbon deposit around the throttle plate.
Third you may consider having the pcm program updated. The program does have changes for various things including the fan clutch. It can stay engaged.

Gas guage-oxygen sensor?

The oxygen sensor has nothing to do with the fuel gauge. There are two possibilities for the gas gauge error, first it could be the in-tank gas level sensor or it could be a defective stepper motor which drives the gauge. A professional scan tool can determine the fuel level being sent by the in-tank sensor, if that disagrees with the gauge, then the stepper motor needs replacing.

Discovery rear air suspension sitting down overnight

My car did this. I could actually park and feel my car raise up or down. Looking at my car it was sitting completely crooked as if I had hydraulics. lol I have a 2001 Discovery II. When I had it fixed at the dealer it was the rear airbag which is part of the air ride suspansion. I hope this helps.
