Nice truck man!!!!

I thought you did a great job.

@@managerofkisses6103 thanks man

Nice man! I got a 06 8 lug 1500HD with the 6.0

Beautiful truck man, thanks for sharing!

It's just the bendix on the starter

If it was a Ford it wouldn't turn over at all.

It does the job.🧢👋

While a Ford is being towed by a Chevy 😂😂😂

FordFan01 he just had it for two years too.

But "it does the job"🤣🤣🤣

*Truck is falling apart* "yeah it's super reliable"... the truck looks like 1 good pothole away from falling apart

Made it to 450k...

@@andybub45 Wonder how many motors it had to make it that far.

waterloo123100 On the second one as we speak lol

If the first truck was in Michigan there wouldn't be anything left of it.

"Starts everytime" proceeds to turn key and truck doesn't start

His starter is going out

@@benjohnson4449 LOL!

the 4.3l v6 will outlast the truck

Keyser Soze love the seats of my 05 Sierra. Those armrests thooooo

If you take care of them, the leather ones withstand the test of time. Can’t say the same about the 2006+ models.

They hold up better than the gmt400s leather seats but those not bad seats

My 94 is like sitting on a couch lol

My ‘01 Silverado seats were like sitting in my living room. Way better than my 2016 Silverado seats

I have a 03 GMC 1500HD SLT, only 107k on it. orginal owner. replaced every line(brake, tranny, etc) on it due to rust, but the engine and tranny is strong. I do wish GM would bring back the 1500HDs.

Lol put it in van jk there's 2500 plenty on there second trany being rebuild

You on your 3rd transmission or you made that up.

@@jaymoar3561 most people don’t do transmission maintenance the way they do everything else. If you do its possible to get 150k+ but 300+ I find crazy even with perfect maintenance

Still have that truck?

Ya, she's got 303,000 and some change right now

Congrats young man.. they road armor I have owned 2.

@@Brian-dh9lp what's is AFM MOTORS.

That's what she said

It’s nice but idk about durable🧐

I wouldn't agree in durable but it is nice and simple

My 99 Tahoes dash still looks brand new. Very simple and functional

@@MediocreMedic123 it was, if taken care of.

The 88-98 dashes are reliable, but not sure how I feel about the 99-11. Failing stepper motors

I traded my 02 with 186,000 miles running good. Great truck.

We have the same comment post about lol . I got a 01 Silverado z71 ext cab . Motor is strong but I need some new bushing

I read this while watching the video. I busted out laughing 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Haha I guess either the starter’s dragging or the truck punk’d him 😁

Sounds great too. Lol

@@MrGreatness412 Come on man everyone knows about the job

Ohhhhh yeah yeah yeah the job.

I've owned 2 fords and 2 chevys....I hated both fords loved the chevys lol

Hows that 16 z71?? I'm looking at a 2014 z71 but has 135k miles. Kinda holding me back. Used to have an 05 Sierra miss it so much. What mileage you at?

Wish I had the same luck..had 5 90s Silverados and one 07. All burned oil like mad and fell apart . My f150 on the other hand 327,000 miles and doesn't burn a drop

@@dylanclay2741 Have seen a few comments that Ford engines, especially the 5L burn oil

@@brandonsalazar9128 i have a 2016 Colorado LT extended cab. Bought it used with 40k miles on it. Has 60k now. Truck runs awesome, it's been all over the country already, haven't had any problems yet. Only gripe is that around town that 6 speed transmission sometime can't figure out what gear it wants to be in. but otherwise great truck.

My 2008 Silverado 4.8. I had it since 2009 and no mayor problems, Has 224k miles. Love it.

@@ozielgarcia5437 4.8 is one of the most durable engine its on the same frame as the 5.3 but since its smaller its more solid so more reliable

@@Ds9Defiant1701B total bullshit. The only difference between a 5.3 and 4.8 is stroke. That does not make it any stronger. A stock 327 sbc is no stronger than a 350.

Ds9Defiant1701 they are actually the same engine block it is the crank, heads, cams, and rest of the internals that are different... they are also basically unchanged from the old castings from the old 350 blocks besides some updates for emissions and efi...

229644 and still going.. 4.8 love it!

I like Toyota’s too

@Trevor Lahey What I’m gods name are you smoking that made that sound salty or petty

But fords cannot because you have to change the transmission many times 😂😂😂😂

That Sonoma looked garage kept lol. Who cares about brand loyalty when they all rip us off every year

Unless its a 6.0/6.4 powerstroke

👍

I’m about to buy one with 220,000 miles on it that was well taken care of I’ve had a few of these trucks in the 2000 year is my favorite

I have an 02 Sierra with 828k

@@darkglide24 💯👍

@Slippschitts Hey Tennessee. We get snow a couple times a year so salt isn't a problem.

@@TheNewenglandboys Calm down, no need to get excited. Some of the modular engines were no good sure. Some of them had a lot of problems sure. But overall look at the 4.6 in the crown vic, those things run forever. I'm a Chevy guy, but i also like Fords and generally speaking they're pretty good cars with only a few exceptions like the early ecoboost engines. Now Chrysler on the other hand, those are garbage with no exceptions. Well maybe the Cummins diesel engines but those aren't made by Chrysler.

@@Name-kd5jj well you know what they say about opinions and I've got mine.

The newer chevies r not whst they were

why did you have to put Toyota in the same sentence with chevys and dodge ?

@@johnyhansen1362 the worst thing you could ever buy is a dodge xD what do you mean

Lets just say Americans know how to build a truck and Toyota got lucky and never changed it.

New chevys are garbage stay away from them like the plague

Damn. Nice.

Wow, he probably would have gave your truck a 10.my son got a 06 duramax, it is one smooth running diesel motor, he loves it and so do I. God bless.

Post a video

Kenny Phegley thx man

buzztrucker ya I beat on it a lot still runs smooth

Yep my fuel pump went out right in front of the insurance place luckily I personally know some mechanics and they changed the fuel pump out on the spot

And rear main seals

I’ve never had issues with the transmission on those trucks. Fuel pumps, yes, and those 5.3s always start ticking in the valves around 150k miles. They will go 200k but they will make a bunch of nasty noise. The only transmission I saw have issues was at 300k miles and it didn’t fully fail until 400k. Just slipped a little before that.

@@willdog3 Mine has 465K it only ticks when it's cold and only for about 30 seconds.

You forget about all the intake gaskets and head gaskets

Marco Baraco right on ! Oil changes &. Other Fulid changes & filters

That’s true. But not true. Some motors really sucked. The 5.4 for sucked. The 6.0 for diesel sucked. I could go on. But if you’re OCD about maintenance then there’s a possibility of making it so far.

Amen

YES change that oil, if you don't put the miles on it per year. Then switch to Yearly service. I realize this is a Chevy high mileage Video. Pro and con. I have always owned Ford's. But the new GMC & Dodge with the Cummins Diesel, are really worth looking at. My 2000 F-250 ( V-10) has 64600 miles on it. Just like the guy said with the black one they will STEAL your vehicle. My Cat. Converter was taken off in 40 second in front of my home. The theft people have guns, they don't care if your home.

Sounds like you would have been better off keeping that old 07'. that sucks to hear how the new ones are having so many issues.

rodger sterling yup traded a lbz for a 17 pretty disappointing for sure, I’ve been to the dealer Quite a few time , 3 new sensors and loose front end , and I only have about 40000 miles lame Chevy .

@@kyledeverill451 2017 was the first year for the l5p ...never get the first model

Old truck put 400k on my 4l-60e

Bobby D yeah I have a 4l60e with 286,xxx miles on it

Pre 2008 Chevy will run forever.

Time for a 4l80

@Rob Boss how often you think change the fluid and filter in a 4l60e tranmission

I towed the same weight (Pontiac Bonneville + car hauler) from Detroit to Lamar County Ga.( about a hour southwest of Atlanta) with my 02 Suburban Z71 at the time she had 300k on the Odometer now I'm at 310k.

Brett Norris let’s be real if it had problems would you buy another, yes.....regardless of how many problems , so you see it doesn’t matter...

Let's get to 100,000 miles then 150k if you had problems a at 50k serious ones then I'd advise you to get ride of it. After 100k you know what type of car you have.

How many recalls?

Come back when you have 200k

@@Hernsama Thank you. Any serious contender for a lasting dependable pickup will have little to no issues especially powertrain/tranny up to 200k miles.

That's weird I own 3 and all 3 has let me down.

My Dad's 1995 Chevy S10 5 speed manual that I learned how to drive on left him in the dust numerous occasions, started around 60k with a coolant leak, and then at 120k it decided to call it quits, he was very meticulous with his vehicle and it's maintenance. I guess some people have better luck with their vehicles. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Same with me, owned many Silverado’s can’t complain about any of them never issues.

I’ve only ever owned one that was passed down to me from my grandad. It’s an ‘03 single cab LB Silverado, 4.8L V8 with 358,300+ on it and the only real problem I’ve ever had was a simple oil leak that I fixed.

Zach what did you get a flat tire? I think you are a Toyota turd driver!

Brian McKevitt LOL 2013 was a long time ago in Chevy terms..

Scott I had a 96 Chevy that finally died shortly after buying my 2013. Only had about 150K. But it had multiple problems and sat on/off for about ten years while I served during OIF.

Why you think all chevy have oil pressure problem alot say just sensor bull it crappy pump it's sensor god sakes why chevys start ticking after some what abuse lifters valves tear ing up cuz no lupe

Mine had 250,000 when I sold it

Mine has 255,000 2001 sierra

287k on my 97 c1500. Original motor, trans on its 4th rebuild lmao

Man do I hate those 88-98 chevys especially those with 5.7 vortec I went through 4 different sets of 906 heads 😂 and they always crack my luck with those ones are horrible

Jesus Vasquez how bad is the rot?

I'm with you. 2001 Yukon with 320,000 miles on same engine and tranny. Paint is good and not a lick of body rot.

Eduardo Gutierrez well they’ve had a good year here and there

I watch some of the mechanics,and I would be pleased to have one, if it was completely re-wired !

It’s about time

Grim Reaper set the guy who only buy a Chevy trucks , Regardless of how many problems they have

Scott same goes for Ford fanbois as well!

Poppy Neese I’m from over in Jackson which is Breathitt county!!

What's the mpg on the Sierra?

tony montana normally 19.5 but it can do 24 easy. Best I ever got was 27.1 over 30 mile run. But so much fun to drive and make some sports cars mad with a 0-60 in the mid 5s stock.

@@caseylyon6262 lol you should bring it to GM and see what secret mpg pixy dust got sprinkled on your truck so they can do the rest!!

Mr M 😂

the 6.0L engine's last a very long time

Nice. My college professor has 379,000 miles on her 1999 suburban. She always calls it her tank.

Peter Collins LOL gosh wow my 93 ram only has 520,000 miles on the 5.9 gasket never touched engine and the frame is as good as it was when it came out of the factory, there is a difference you will never know....

Thats what i want see cause i own 1 right now a 2008 trailblazer with a 135k on it

Nice. I got a '00 Silverado z71 ext. cab 4x4 w/ 177k and I swear that vortec takes anything I put it through. Such a solid engine.

..2001 Tahoe LT 5.3 has 247k miles.

Literally have the same truck but a Silverado and I have 245k. Hasn’t done me wrong yet

2009 Silverado 5.3l Lc9 original engine and 6l80e trans 309k miles

2007 Chevy Silverado z71 5.3 251k miles fuel pump went out yesterday

Besides the injector replacement, just a fantastic engine and platform.. Had a 02 till 09 then traded on a new durumax witch also has been a great truck! just rolled 300k on the lmm

really cause i heard duramax engines were known for overheating

@@leadnsteel1428 it's never overheated on me once. Knock on wood.

Shane Vaughan you should turbo it

Harrison Conyers maybe one day lol

Yep. My co-worker came home and found a huge dent in his car. His GF went to back it out of the driveway and hit the garbage dumpster and hoped he wouldn't notice.

Yep. $8000 is a lot cheaper than making car payments.

01 8.1L regular cab 4x4 owner...bought it new...it's a great truck

When I was younger the dealership I work for had a 454 in a Suburban believe it or not. I think it might have been a 92 maybe. It was only rear-wheel drive it wasn't four-wheel drive. But it pulled a race trailer that was pretty much at the weight that the Suburban was built to handle and that's pretty much the only thing that ever did was pull that race trailer and the team members. The owner ended up selling it to a farmer when it had a ridiculous amount of mileage on it. I remember him putting it out for sale and thinking Who the hell's going to buy a truck with 400,000 plus miles on it that worked like a beaten mule its whole life. A farmer scarfed it up in a week and the damn things probably still going.

THE WOFFORDS mom’s had 287k was stolen and they ran from the cops 4 times. Eventually they abandoned it with a flat tire twisted around the axle.

Gas? Which engine.. I have an 04 2500..6.0, 11mpg.. but runs great

@@dirtyharryville my ma's 03 suburban z71 has 260k miles but gets 10 to the gallon

@@AmericanSurvival001 Congratulations on your dodge going over 500k. Is that the original engine on its 5th transmission?

Slippschitts Hey I drive my trucks as long as I can, I catch shit sometimes from people like you “just buy a new one” meanwhile that 600$ truck payment gets invested every month and I’ll be retired by 45 years old with plenty of money to burn and you’ll be stuck in your shitty apartment with a new truck out front

Ya when they came out with active fuel management they started to drink oil and self disassemble! Avoid any vehicle with that!

I have a 2010 with no problems. I guess it’s a hit and miss problem

You can have a technician delete the AFM

@@brandedmcgowan9414 it's the cam and lifters that enable the system that sabotage the engine.

@@ryanmartinage we had a 2010 Tahoe 5.3 with that system, we driven to Tennessee Mississippi Missouri and Texas (which i didn't go to) as well as pull a few cars with it and i never experienced a failure with it, even unladen with cruise control on its never fail us. Only had the truck for only a year and had to take it back because we financially can't keep up with payments when my grandma passed last January

I don't see any C/K's out on the road anymore. Of course living in the rust belt you don't see a lot of 1970's or 80's anything

Bronco Billy makes sense, out west here you still see them chugging along, paint’s faded from the sun but still going.

If they got rid of AFM, their trucks would be some of the most reliable now.

TheCarChannel in other words: they are unreliable turds that leak every substance known to mankind, but they will get you where you need to go if you baby them.

TheCarChannel, You just gave the most accurate review of a Chevy Truck. I owned a 2007 Chevy Avalanche. Just sold it about 9 mos ago. It is a nice looking truck, and had a real regal "status" about it. I put about 100,000+ miles on it, but like you said, you are steady replacing parts because GM uses cheap crap in their trucks. Rear differential, all kinds of Sensors, Brake lights, rust from the crap GM paint job, catalytic converter, TWO transmissions...you name it. After the transmission blew again (Once at 120,000 then at 160,000) I was like screw it and got me a "hold over" vehicle until I can afford to get a me a good truck. Folks think I am crazy for giving up the Avalanche, but it is more cost efficient to just get something else instead of dumping money into it every season.

@@playboy03 i hate to be so harsh with any vehicle but its the truth they use crappy parts. Even out on the street at least here in california its not uncommon to see a late model GM truck with a headlight bulb that is out. Sure bulbs are only a few bucks but if they skimped out on something as cheap as that....you can only imagine the rest. Best truck i've ever owned is a Nissan bought in 08 that's stil in the family and going strong despite me jumping it in the dunes, and thousands and thousands of miles off the beaten path. It hasn't been perfect but it doesn't leak a drop of anything, and has never even been out of alignment.
