Check your throttle body for a wire connector or mechanical cable attachment, and look at the gas pedal. Does it have an electrical connection attached to it or a mechanical cable. If you see wires at either place, it's drive by wire. The '03 Yukon is most likely drive by wire

Express vans are dbc in that year. You likely have a dbw. Good deal because cruise is easy and only takes two switches. One to enable it and another on-off-on momentary for set/resume and coast.

Because of Cali and Fleet purchasing, thats not 100% true. Vans could be ordered for fleet without the normal "package" restrictions. You could find DBW 6.0's with a return fuel system in 2003. Its an oddball, but they exist.

Re: pedal to the metal boys!! { pedal question}

I haz Actually it was the first LS I ever bought, and a version of its still in my truck now.

I didn't know how strange it was to find them until after I bought it. 2003.5 6.0, dbw, with van dipsticks etc, return rail, and a 2wd 4l80e....pretty much the best GenIII to stumble on
