Thought I would post a picture of my '02 Yukon. Got it all loaded up for a race this weekend. We shall see how it does on the trip with the mods I have done so far.

I just seafoamed and deep creeped my truck tonight as well as cleaned out the MAF, now I just gotta change out the computer and do an oil change and I should be good to go for the meet on Saturday!! Man I love all the white smoke from a good seafoaming!!

Wow...I spent nearly 2hrs last night changing the damn spark plugs & wires. I have been working on cars for over 15years and I don't think I have ever been so frustrated when doing such a simple task. My Yukon has about 92K miles and the plugs have never been changed. First of all, it was a ***** to get the plug wires off the plugs. The metal casing/heat shields did not make the job any easier as it was difficult to get a grip on them. Then the plugs were damn tight in the block and took quite a bit to break them loose. I am glad I changed them out though because the old plugs were quite worn and the electrode was just about gone. We shall see if there are any improvements in performance this week.

All that is left is an oil change before next weekend.

Those plug wires getting pretty heat checked, that's for sure. I always try and put some di-electric grease or something around them when I put new ones on to make them easier to get off.

Yea, I put some of that stuff on the new ones that I installed.
