    Few issues w/ a Yukon Denali

    The parking light ground makes sense... When I start the truck after setting the parking brake, the light is on (as it should be). I then release the P brake, the light is off. I then back up = no light. As soon as I put it in 'drive' and accelerate, the light comes on IMMEDIATELY... Location...

    What to save from a 1996 Vortec 5.7?

    Going to pull a stock 5.7 out of a 1996 Tahoe. I plan on unplugging the wiring harness and going from there. Obviously, I will remove the hood grille, radiator, fan shroud. Anything else I should remove to pull the engine? Are the bellhousing bolts a PITA to get to? Any pitfalls or cautions...

    Who has the highest miles thread.

    1998 former Paramedic intercept unit- 260,000 HARD, beat miles. Still runs perfectly with an untouched driveline. Only wear and tear items were replced- tires, brakes and misc. We beat the hell out of the truck!

    Right steps for lifter issues?

    Trying to diagnose several upper valvetrain 'ticks' on a 1996 Tahoe w/ 5.7 L engine. I figure it's stuck valves... 1) Stethescope to pinpoint the area 2) Remove valve covers to see if I have loose rockers OR bent pushrods 3) With covers off, make sure the oil is getting to the right areas...
