Access To Engine Compartment On Suburban And Equiv

[PIreland]

Hello,

 

After spending the weekend replacing the intake manifold gaskets on the 1999 Suburban, I have to think there is a better way to get to the back of the engine.

 

Awhile back I remember seeing a step stool type of thing that extend up over the front of the truck and into the engine compartment. It looks as though you can lay on your stomach to reach the stuff at the back.

 

Did anyone ever try one of these? How do the they work? Any ideas where I could purchase one?

 

Thanks
