Default How close is too close?
Me again with the 01 suburban LS. Rooting around under the suburban and it looks like the y pipe (collector, whatever you call it) has one of the pipes almost touching the transmission pan. Is this normal?

01 Suburban LS, 181k miles, 4L60 trans, NP246 tcase

what does "almost" mean? Be specific ... One foot? One inch?
