97 Yukon no start

I’m going to let my coworker mess with it. I figured it really just helps my cause if it’s non running, as long as nothing crazy happened after we shut it off the other day. I already have the interior and truck sold if i pull the engine. I might actually get lucky on a deal for once, probably not though.

Crank sensors are common to fail

one detail you have not mentioned is the mileage on the engine which is kinda important if that is what you are buying the vehicle for....

99k on truck, 30k on engine. The truck is clean, just rusty. Looks low mile. For the price I’m comfortable taking a risk. I’m mainly concerned that it would have something mechanically hurt inside that would render it not rebuildable.

any proof that there is just 30k on the engine?

Not really, but it ran well a week ago when I looked at it. And it ran better than the tires 305 I have.

there is a big difference in price of a 30k engine and a 99k engine and I would not take some stranger's word on it

Like I said I’m comfortable with the price. We’re talking hundreds here not thousands. It’s a stock small block Chevy truck engine that I have to pull.

I'd be curious why it needed an engine at 69K, I have 220K on my 98 Tahoe's original Vortec

Reason I say that is the type of replacement makes a big difference in terms of quality of components, parts store rebuild/GM crate/GM shortblock/random rebuilder...all have varying levels of quality/workmanship.

BUT, at $100 over scrap, should be a free (or cheaper) core after you part it

Gm crate motor is what he said. The owner is a friend of the coworker that I bought the H/O I parted out from. I think the problem was that my coworker started the truck. He has bad luck with cars.
