I'm going to look at this Yukon XL tonight. We've already established that I'll be putting the new tires on and doing the oil change myself. That lowered the asking price. What things should I be looking for?

Yeah, I'm not towing anything 98% of the time. When I do, it's light. Ferm, I appreciate all your input, and I think I'm gonna try to get my hands on a 5.3L. WarWagon, I hear what you're saying about power. I appreciate the fact that you're trying to ease me down from the diesel. Thanks for...

Ferm, I really appreciate your input. I remember your mentioning something about piston slap in the 5.3's. Is that something to consider?

So, that 350 I originally posted about turned out to be crap underneath. Found this 454 about ten minutes from my house. Any thoughts on what that damp area on the intake in the last picture would be? Underneath looks good, but the place was closed by the time I got there. Gonna go drive it...

I kinda figured that'd be the response I'd get. So, you'd say I should go for this one over the orginal one I linked to. Now, let's compare the 7.4L to the 6.0L. Any thoughts on that?

Also, at the risk of being banned for all eternity, I do have this Excursion available to me. Thoughts on this vs the 5.7L?

Thanks, WW. My concern with the 454 was mileage. I'm not hauling a bunch of stuff around. Just the family 95% of the time. Thoughts on that end of things?

Thanks for the info, Ferm. Question: Is there a quick way to tell if the conversion to the updated injectors has been done already? Even if I pay the full price they're asking, I'll have about $1500 to play with after the purchase. My first investments were gonna be those injectors and...

Thanks for the info, Will. 6.0's are hard to come by. Probably just gonna go with the 5.7 and play around with it. I don't know how spiritual everyone around here is, but the sell story is part of a two-pronged journey I've been on regarding: 1. My needs and a willingness to trust the...

Gentlemen, I sold my 6.5L last week. I'll remove it from my signature soon, but I can't bring myself to do it just yet. It's a long story about why I sold it, but it turned out good in the end. Now I'm looking into a gas Burb. I'm going to look at this one tomorrow evening. What should I be...

There's no bumper; where's it go?

I made the switch Friday night. The black PMD under the hood has a GM part number on it, and it had a #4 resistor in it. I had been driving with it for a week under the hood. When I switched to the #9 resistor and put it behind the bumper, there was an immediate increase in power. Not a ton...

All right, Gents. I've had the old PMD plugged in for a week now, and I haven't had a single hesitation or shutdown. I'm gonna move the old PMD to the heatsink on the bumper to check out the cable. Question at this juncture: Can I take the #9 resistor out of the Stanadyne PMD and put it in...

I created an Excel spreadsheet. I tried Mint.com for a while, but they wanted too much control. I'm a big fan of maintaining my own records. If you don't have Office, you can use LibreOffice's Calc. Free=Good :thumbsup:

I don't think the steering column has been moved since I bought it. Maybe when I put the gauge pods on the pillar. As far as I know, the ignition switch is original. There was some slight hesitating while driving at speed last night. Didn't shut off, but definitely hesitated a couple...

I knew somebody was gonna bring up the PMD. It's classic PMD behavior. The only other one I have is the one that's zip-tied to the aluminum block. I'll move the Stanadyne from the bumper and secure it somehow under the hood temporarily to eliminate the cable. Is there any chance it could be...

Yet another tale of woe. About a month ago, my wife was driving the Burb. She was accelerating up a hill from a stop, and the truck just shut off. She pulled to the side of the road, and it fired right back up as if nothing were wrong. She started driving again. About a half mile down the...

Okay. Then....yeah, probably not a lift pump issue.

Agreed. However, mine seemed to run perfectly fine while the pump was running. It would just pop the fuse and shut off. I didn't realize how sluggish it was till I got the new one from you, Leroy. Kind of a "frog in the frying pan" situation. I did notice my mileage going down, though. Any...

I'm casting my bet on lift pump. As mine started to go, it blew the ECM-B fuse and turned the truck off. As the lift pump starts to die, it'll draw more current and pop the fuse. If you don't have gauges, I'd suggest 'em. Don't buy the GlowShift Direct fuel pressure gauge, though. My EGT...
