I got my Leatherman Micra today and i love the quality. It is better than i was expecting! Litteraly a miniature Leatherman, and the best part; i don't even feel it hanging on my keychain(i use a TJB Hardin)!
Rather, get an old Ford. Remember, everyone, if it wasn't for the government, Chevy would be out of business. Let capitalism work. We will be better off.
My ‘05 f150 has 120k miles. I looks and runs fantastic! Most strangers think it is a much newer model. I maintain it and if something breaks…it gets fixed. I have not replaced it in the past for the same reasons you talked about. Recently, I’ve been thinking about selling it and buying a new Subaru and take a bunch of trips with my bride of 40 years. Nah…we’ll take the truck on longer trips and her little hybrid for shorter trips…can’t imagine having a car payment😅! THANK YOU!!!
Note: the faster you charge a battery.. the faster they will 'die' (in the long run..) they like to trickle charge. Same with any electronics. Its just a new way of thinking about 'power'
That is so strange that your mechanic was not able to do that job himself and that he actually took out the magnet any mechanic knows that that would actually destroy your engine completely that is so strange I've never seen anybody do that other than on camera intentionally under some kind of dateline investigation thing or something lol
I bought a 2008 chevy Silverado 5.3. brand new. Right now I have 160000 miles and going strong. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Perfect body and no rust anywhere.
Great video, i appreciate your candor, i recently bought the 6 in 1 fastback and their compact knife, i think im gonna go ahead and pick up their tanto serrated knife....the only difference from the one you just reviewed comapared to mine is the extra blade holder....i got the one with just one blade storage....i did like and subscribe to your channel....
I have a 2004 gmc Sierra xtended cab 4x4, 6l lq9 Chevy performance engine with efans and a 4l60e! I plan on a borg Warner turbo in the future! I’m the original owner and I love this truck! It’s ol enuf that I can take it out in the Arizona brush and abuse it! It has more power than a ss!
I have a 2001 Chevy. With a salvage title. Won’t give it up until I can no longer drive it. BTW I hope you didn’t pay for your mechanic’s total screw up.
My old 96 3/4 ton Silverado is sitting in the yard. Needs 4 or 5 things but drivetrain was good. Time to get it back running ... 300k, was best truck i've owned, towed like butter..
I got a 95 k1500 z71 w/148000 mi that is my daily driver, I bought it for $2k about 2 yrs ago and I've put about 6K into it for replacement parts & repairs, mostly done by me & I'm not a mechanic but like u said, these trucks are very basic & easy to work on & most of the parts for it are cheap. I have the 5.7 350 TBI. I love this truck, its drives & runs great & hasn't failed me yet.
03 Denali with 280k miles. Me and the previous owner have done regularly scheduled maintenance, including changing ALL of the fluids and it’s still on its first engine and tranny. Tranny is starting to have some very minor slip but nothing some Lucas can’t fix for now. When it doesn’t slip it shifts like when it was brand new. Other than that and needing a new alternator (still has the original one), it still runs like a dream. It’s amazing how regular fluid changes has let a transmission that is quite known for breaking down make it this far. Do your maintenance, people!
I have 2 1998 trucks. One has 35000 miles and other has 26000 miles. 1 ton and 3/4 ton. I will not sell them and will keep using them until I can't get parts. I will never buy new. Also my trucks don't have kill switches. F the gov!!!!
Funny enough sir, you bought the right truck for the right reason, that's why you made a great decisions. Do you know why people buy these Modern "Trucks"? Social Status my boy...
I have a 97 1500 W/T with close to 200K miles on it. Runs like a top and drives like new. Paid $2500 for it about 8 years ago. Not mint, but overall not bad. Not a daily driver, just there when I need it, but it could be one. Even though you replaced the engine, it’s a fraction of the costs of an EV battery.
I got a 2007 Ford Freestyle last year. Only 50k miles, got it for $5,000. Had 2 owners they really didn’t treat it well but minor things I did with the car….it runs very well. Su dar so good. The older vehicles were better built.
I have a 1997 Silverado I have had it 22 years and it is a short bed 3 door I put a remanufactured engine in it last year it only has 107000 miles on it I also had it repainted it is a great truck far from a peace of junk, I would drive it any where.
