    Shopping for a capable tow vehicle.

    Running gear and stopping power should be as important as engine output. The most optimal tow combo would be a 3/4 ton pickup with a diesel, and a trailer with brakes.

    Headlight polish

    Running lights are less than $10 apiece at rockauto. It takes less than 10 minutes to swap them in.

    What gear ratio would be best

    Hahaaa. This I agree with. It's stated differently than what you posted earlier in the thread.

    What gear ratio would be best

    I read this in your post: That's just not true, man. Essentially what you're saying is that you wouldn't notice a difference on the tach driving your rig at 60 mph in 3rd or OD. You have to know that's not right. there is a MORE SIGNIFICANT mathematical difference between the 1:1 of...

    Why should I not go fully old-school carbed (OBS)?

    If you're keeping the TBI, complete ALL of the "Ultimate TBI mods", and bump up your initial timing a few degrees. You'll notice a difference in performance.

    Why should I not go fully old-school carbed (OBS)?

    I'm the naysayer, because I naysayed the naysaying? A difference in opinion from yours (that was actually partially similar to yours...but after you said it first) makes me a target to you. I understand. Happy motoring.

    Why should I not go fully old-school carbed (OBS)?

    I'm just not feeling the advice you're getting here, OP. Seems like a lot of speculation and inexperience talking and naysaying. Ooohhh, something you have to tune with screwdrivers and a vacuum gauge. Ohhhhhhh it doesn't have a computer so it MUST be slower. Annnnddddd you're going to need...

    Headlight polish

    You can buy new ones for around the same money as one of those kits.

    New motor ?

    I was going to suggest inspecting the shortblock before replacing, but given what your signature says, you should probably just buy an engine. Jasper is a reputable source.

    Considering Buying a Used Yukon XL

    See what else is out there. This is a big purchase. Don't pull the trigger until you've assessed the entire market in your preferred distance radius. With this truck, assume the worst. It was dogged. You'll have to fix it or take a hit if you try to sell it once it breaks. Yes, that's...

    Yeah dude. 1.21 jigawatts ought to be enough to juice up anything you got.

    Switching from hydraboost to STD brake booster

    Hydroboost is of a superior design and function when compared to vacuum assist. That's why I asked. Maybe you need one of these...

    Any how to's on removing/replacing 5.7 vortec Chevy tahoe

    Sounds like you're leaving the transmission in place. Support it from underneath. If you plan to roll the truck forward or backward ever while the engine is out, your transmission support will have to be able to move with the truck.
