those are a *****! broke the same one on the sonoma (uses the same one as the 5.7) ended up having to take it to a local machine shop to have them remove the broken threaded piece. atleast it goes into the thermostat housing which is removable...

got lucky on the Hoe and it came out. put a new one on it during reassembly. if you haven't replaced the intake gaskets and spider you might as well do it if you have to pull it apart. valve covers if they leak since they have to come off as well.

Hate to go off topic but where did you get that nifty tool box that mounts in the extra battery tray?

I can answer that for you. Those were available in the 96 up trucks, tahoes, and suburbans. Most all of them had that box unless it had the second battery. It will require the whole bracket, and you may as well switch to the newer style washer bottle, as he did, and I am about to do. That is a this weekend project.

Personally, I am interested in the fact that he moved the coil to the firewall. I have never seen that done, but I am sure it works good.
