2002 Yukon, replacing Power Steering Control Valve P/N 26095470. Where is it?
I'd be my guess it goes where the power steering hoses go into the steering column... that is only a guess, I don't have a manual in front of me at the moment

Welcome to the forum.
Looks like the one I replaced in my Corvette w/ a pickup truck valve. That one was in the PS pump. It was a pressure relief valve. My stock one was too strong and could prevent rapid steering wheel input which got me trouble autocrossing on tite circuits. The downside is on-center sensitivity which is a mild problem going down the interstate.
I think you access it by removing the pressure hose but might the return. It's been over 30 years ago.
Why does yours need replacing?
Edit: Didn't see in2pro's link but that's a different system than the Tahoe/'burb's have. The Sharks used a slave cylinder design. The control valve in their case told the cylinder whether to extend or retract.

Is that suppose to be a pressure relief valve or spool valve? i thought power steering spool valves were part of the steering gear (rack and pinion) assembly. I have never changed one or seen one changed.
The dealer parts dept can print out a exploded view when you provide the gm part number.
What is the concern your trying to fix?
