I would ask how long you plan to keep it. If you have no plans to swap it
soon,
Yes, a bit, but you do have a goodly amount of room in there to work,
even with the contortions. Don't forget to throw some blankets over the
fenders, and be careful that stool doesn't tip out from under you.

My '04 Suburban (5.3 liter gas Vortec V-8) is about due for its
100,000 mile service, which is basically a complete fluid change
including the stuff people usually ignore (differentials and transfer
case), all filters, and the first change of spark plugs.
Any recommendations for the best brand of
I'd just go with OEM, AC-Delco plugs. With my Focus I used Motorcraft.
I had good luck using acetone/ATF to unstick a couple of the plugs on my Focus.
They point straight down and sit in deep wells so I just put a little pool of
the mix into each well and let it sit for a while.

I've always been happy with NGK or Bosch's platinum plugs, with threads lightly
coated in Nev-R-Seez.

I did this to my Sub about 4 years ago (and will have to do it again in
a year or so!!), and I think that platinums were specified. I believe I
got the Bosch, which were a bit more but the guy at the parts store said

Ditto on blowing out the spark plug area with air. I'd use Kroil or some
other penetrant on a stubborn plug. As for the plugs themselves, I'd use
whatever GM recommends unless I heard otherwise. Bosch may be fine for some
models but not others. I'd use NGK in a Subaru where they're OE but not
Use OEM Plugs. You can presoak the plugs with ATF/Acetone.
IMPORTANT make sure the engine is STONE DEAD COLD before extracting
the old plugs.
