Posted this twice, as I wasn't sure where to post.

 

Okay. I consulted my Chilton's for the EGR location on my 2002 Yukon 5.3L GAS engine. It shows on their diagram that it should be located forward of the oil filler neck, so I look....not there. I looked around for a line running to the manifold, and the only one I could find was on the rear driver side from the Intake. The stupid question is: Where is it? lol

 

Was also looking for the PCV on this engine, Master Chilton says driver side rear manifold. I see something in the rear, but I figure I'd ask about this too since I'm already asking a stupid question, and before I start pulling on important things. Second stupid question: Where is it?

 

Thanks for any input!

there should be a tube from the passenger side exhaust manifold that runs up to the egr valve, just off of the oil filler neck. also there is a electrical harness that is plugged into the top.

The EGR valve looks like a small canister and should be exactly where your Chiltons says it is.

what they say, but not all have them. pcv will be a tube runnin into the very back drivers valve cover, maybe 3/4" dia tube, pulls right out

will look like that just above the exh manifold on pass side if ya have one. in the very front on the exh manifold

Thanks for the replies, guys. I found the PCV, but that EGR is baffling me. I took the above pictures of the area on my engine where Chilton's said it was. Tell me I'm not crazy/blind. They're big so I just made links for them. According to Chilton's it should be RIGHT in front of that oil filler neck, and looks exactly like the Ebay pic Hummer posted. :chevy:

you dont have an egr

 

Whaaaa? Okay, so I'm not crazy. I didn't know that some trucks don't have an EGR. I thought it was pretty much necessary. Oh well....thanks guys!

I was looking for my egr too, and couldn't find it. I see what looks like one next to the brake fluid reservoir... Maybe someone can clear this up for me, what is that next to the brake reservoir?

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      Thank you. I'll give it a try

      OCI, not when but why?

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
