Checked out the Tahoe today--finally. Pulled the plugs. Cylinder 2 was discolored(black)and ever so slightly wet--not much. All other plugs were great. There's probably 500 miles on them since they were changed.
Cylinders 2,4,6 and 8.

Looked great, as they should.
I tightened 3 loose exhaust manifold bolts on the driver's side. That's where I was having an issue with stf/ltf, bank 1. I guess that was the issue. Runs 100 times better, but I still heard a little popping from the exhaust. Nothing loud or anything, but I heard it.
I saw some antifreeze drip out of the right side heater core line. I guess I leaned on it when I was trying to pull that last plug. I pushed it in and gently wiggled it, and it seemed fine. I let it run for awhile, then took it for a ride. System didn't pressurize, so idk what to think about that. Needle didn't move a lot past 160 degrees. Heat worked. Guess I'll keep an eye on it. No more leaks tho.

@iamdub regarding the fuel pump

So after driving a day I pulled the taped down panel off the floor to check for any fuel connection leaks and everything looked good to go. I deburred the cut metal areas, cleaned off any rust spots bets I could. Treated any exposed/rusty metal areas with some combination spray primer/paint. Cut up some aluminum mounting tabs to mount to the access panel using aluminum rivets. Sealed everything up with Sikaflex 1A adhesive/sealant. I then used some stego tape to cover that to protect it from the carpeting/padding. Reinstalled all the interior. I'm sorry I didn't get any pics. Frigid ass cold out here.

I feel that my Yukon drives fine..... smooth...... But, I wonder if getting a fresh set of plugs ( even coils?)... Might make it better? I have no idea how old my stuff is....
