Turbo 5.3L Yukon Stock Fuel Pump Test: When Do You Need a Bigger Pump? (Uncle Rob Hits The Dyno!)

What happens here

Upon returning to the shop, the GMC Yukon XL is carefully driven onto the Dynojet dynamometer. Once positioned, the vehicle is securely strapped down to prevent movement during high-speed runs. The host manually checks the tension of the straps to ensure stability. An initial dyno pull is then performed, where the vehicle accelerates on the rollers. The engine's sound is monitored, and the dyno software records preliminary power figures. The first pull records 397 horsepower (HP) and 432 foot-pounds (ft-lb) of torque, with the tuner noting a lean air-fuel ratio.

Goal: Measure baseline horsepower and torque on the dyno.

and then afterwards i realized we never changed the spark plugs it's kind of like a rookie mistake these are stock spark plugs so i changed those and now i'm just getting the atf topped off and for your own information the 4l60 dipstick does work in here but i dropped the pan with the dipstick in here so i could scribe where the top of the pan rail was on it you can see i put a mark on it right there so i know where the true pan level is
