Also cleaned the MAF and throttle body. Took 4 hours, but planning ahead is key Spray penetrating oil on the passenger seat bolts at least a day beforehand. Jack up and remove both front wheels. Prepare to come up with new combination of curse phrases However it runs like new and even gets 20% better fuel economy

    Awesome video Terence. Gave me the confidence to try this on a 6.0 litre 2007 Savannah. Very similar but clearances a little tighter. I was able to change all of the passenger side and two drivers side interior sockets with a 3/8 inch ratchet using a short swivel joint extension. The two closer to the front on the drivers side I had to jack up and go in from the wheel using straight extensions. Cheers from Calgary Canada!

    Terence, great video, and got me out of a pinch when trying to figure out that driver's side forward plug! I found that I needed to jack the van up, but didn't need to pull the wheel off. Also, for leverage, a half inch breaker bar on an extension, with a helper keeping positive pressure to engage the plug was helpful.

    I had some success with getting the spark plug boots off by twisting the boot around in one direction until it released from the spark plug. Then, it came right off no problem. My plugs were (cooked) on and took some muscle to break free. The extension is a must to be able to put the required muscle on it.

    Hi T, sorry for the delay. Having some health problems in this heat. It seems to suck the life out of me as I get older? Anyway, have something coming to your PO box probably early next week, August 1st? It is my way of saying thanks to you for the effort you put out that is helping many of us. Hope to see more repair work on that Chevy Express van if you have any coming? Any experience rehabbing the air conditioning system? My compressor took his dive early this spring and I am contemplating that repair with many parts, when things cool down this fall? Looks like a fun project as well.

And about a month Agar I put a new pump. Believe it or not the original pump lasted 250k Btw. I paid around 650 to get the wires and plugs and 3 coils 1 mop sensor I thought I got a good price. I am happy with it. I am about to get me another van. I am on the road a lot. 25k miles per years

    Well terrence, I finally jumped in with both feet No Looking Back. Your video really helped me to see the steps and the snags which proved minimal on a 2003, GMC Savanah, 5.3 liter engine. (318,000 miles) Certainly a tight fit in certain spots as you noted. However when I pull the wheels tomorrow and go through the wheel-well access points, this should be a wrap. The 2nd set of plugs, OEM Wires & coil packs have proved very robust. Plugs are toast. OEM Coils are proving robust too. New wires for sure! Hoping to find maybe 1 or 2 weak Coil packs, but have 4 new on hand, but still not seen any wet-fouled plugs so far. Bless you young man... That OG from MI. 😄

    PB Blaster works really well to remove stuck bolts in minutes, not days. I usually add a little to the spark plug socket and let it work around the spark plugs to minimize the risk of breaking them during removal. Just a little works pretty well, should give it a try brother!

I'm hoping the o-ring around the pick-up tube has not worn out. That's another culprit of low oil pressure. I have a video on my channel showing that as well in my suburban when I changed the oil pan gasket.
