    New Guy: 1996 Yukon SLT 1500 4x4

    It does definitely have a trans cooler already in it which is nice. Turned out it needed a distro cap really badly. Serious corrosion under the cap, and the two rear-most plugs (cylinders 7 and 8) were black with soot. The rest looked fine. Explained why it woul run rough when I could get it...

    The fuel system struggle is real. All of the typical problems are rearing their ugly heads. Good thing this isn't my daily! Hard starts being the general statement of what's happening. Turns over fine. Will either: -cough when I let off the starter -act like it backfires and stop the engine...

    Grabbed a quick shot of the underside in the rear. What do you think? Am I in danger if never getting anything apart? In other news I did 140 miles in it today with no issues. Returning an average 14 MPG.

    Thanks! Had a feeling this was the place to start. Yep! Been well maintained and gently driven by the previous owner from 52k to 170k miles, and it shows. But, it still has sat for six years, and that shows too! Even in Michigan you can't buy this solid running and looking of a truck with even...

    Hey Tahoe/Yukon'ers, I'm Cody from Flint, Michigan (actually Durand). I've just picked up this wonderful Emerald Green / Tan GMT400 Yukon 4x4 from a friend's mom for $1200 with 170k, very good tires, and some rust here or there that is repairable. It had sat for 6 years before my resurrection...
