Hello,
This is only my second post, my first was my intro and I'm sure this won't be my last.
I just picked up an 02 Yukon 5.3 2wd with 185k. It's mainly going to be for my son when he's mature enough but until then it's a "gopher" vehicle. I have a few issues that i need help with and I'll list them here. I've searched but I seem to find lots of questions but no answers. If we keep this truck looking I promise to be the kind of member that shares solutions as well as issues !
First, I have a miss and it's got me confused. I did the pull the plug test and found the two rear plugs on the drivers side made no change when i pulled the wire, so i pulled the plugs and the one farthest back had a lot of oil on it. The one just in front of it was just old and covered in carbon. I swapped them out and the truck runs better but it's still missing and it seems that i can still pull those wires and see no change. Am i missing something? Are these engines like Dodge where every component has to be identical?
I also have no dash lights and the radio only lights up when the ignition is off . I'm planning on getting a switch but once again...am I missing something?
Lastly, my rear blower doesn't work at all. I'm sure there's a series of tests to run down the culprit but I ran out of time.
There are a few other things but i have them figured out, i just have to get the parts.
I apologize for the length of the message but I want to try and paint a clear picture. Thanks again for any and all help!
