Yes, there is no real difference between the body or frame of a 2whl and 4whl as long as they are the same length, IE standard cab, crew cap, long bed, short bed... If it is a HD 4x4 you might have an extra hole in the floor of the cab for the shifter lever, but the 2whl should have a block off plate for this. If not, you might need to fab up a patch.

Some of the V-8 engines like to leak out the back of the intake manifold. It then drips onto the exhaust and evaporates so you never see it, you just smell it. Look for it back there. You may want to have the system pressure checked too. If it is leaking out the intake, it is not an easy or cheap fix. I just did my 96 Yukon and it was not fun.
Good Luck and hope this helps.

Well it could be the selector switch, but I doubt it.Generally, the service light means something is not working that the computer controls. Solenoids and valves are a couple of possibilities.The transfer case is shifted by solenoids commanded by the body computer based on the switch position on the dash.You should be able to have a shop scan the body computer for trouble codes and proceed from there. A basic code reader may not access the body computer.

Don't know that much about 99 Surburbans but you may won't to see if you could just unplug it from the cluster or maybe see if thiers a fuse for your lights that you can take out

I had this exact problem on my 2005 5.3L Suburban... It would shift into 1 and 2 and reverse, but not 3 and 4.

I took it into a transmission shop, and he said the 3-4 shift solenoid was burned up. Wanted 1500 to fix it. Far from home, so I have to pay it.

VERY common issue.. the handle being replaced is ok.. but the actual metal rod that connects it to the latch needs bent a little to make it more responsive, what happens is over time this rod (which is bent slightly) will straighten, and the operator pulls harder on the handle which eventually brakes.. then replacing the handle will solve it for a while, until the trend repeats itself... VERY common, I have fixed hundreds in the shop so far...

Yes add oil,it is hard to say how much without knowing how much you lost. I would guess 4oz of pag oil. And yse vacuum and charge the same. Find out how much freon to add.

I looked at info for 1500--5.7L engine.6 psi @ 1000 rpms18 psi@2000 rpms24 psi @ 4000 rpmsSometimes, you can use analog gage in place of oil pressure sending unit and double check oil pressure that way. If oil pressure is actually low, if high mileage engine, I doubt replacing oil pump will help. I just wanted to add, check oil pressure engine warmed up.
