Fixing The '93 Chevy Silverado 3500 

New sub here. Love seeing people who value older vehicles and aren’t afraid to work. 👍

When you pulled the dulley up beside patches I had a big Smile on my face,....You Did It.....👍👍👍

You probably know this but flush out the water and fill with antifreeze nice truck definitely keep the patina paint original there is a lot of people that would buy that truck in a heartbeat!

Awesome job!!!

Never mind. How do you get the idle speed down?

That AC compressor won't come on until there is gas in the system. There is a switch that can be jumper out on that big silver tank looking thing to tell if the compressor will run. Good luck.

It was steam from sitting so long all that moisture in the exhaust the heads ect once warmed up wont do it any more untell starting in winter

Exhaust looked good to me after she ran for a bit. A jet wash and she'll look good! Although I wouldn't paint the wheels, I think the surface rust looks pretty cool - the patina look!

That switch as you probably know by now is your cargo light switch...you got a good rig...clean it up...spend some money tweaking it and polishing it up...inside and out. I literally have the same exact truck. If you have the 4l80E transmission, there is an update for it with a newer wiring harness inside the pan. If you have some shifting problems, that is most likely your problem. If it has the 410 rears, you can yank 25000 lbs absolutely no problem, that's including the truck weight. Throw a good Maaco paint job on it and that truck will last a long long time.

I have a '93 GMC 1 ton crew cab dually with 4 doors and a diesel. Even huger than yours!. I love it.

You got a GEM there. That truck here in the midwest with just surface rust would bring some decent coin. Nice score!

Cold motor have some water in the exhaust sistem!! No problem !!

have fun with it, man.I had a 3500 GMC with a 454 in it overhere in Belgium from '94 till 2010 and put 360.000 miles on it but i drove it on LPG mostly and i still regret i sold it, winter freeze or summer hot in de morning the starter klikt and the answer was vroem he never let me down. Have fun and stay healthy.

Gotta love these old GMT400 trucks. That thing is straight and doesnt look like it has alot of rust. And it is hard to kill those old 454s. It looks like you have have put that molded hose on backwards but if it works, it works. Take care of that old truck man, she will run for ages! You just got a sub as well!

I own one of those my self good truck

A lot of people got bad things to say about GMC but they're a great truck and listen how good it's running after sitting all those years. I'm sure it's going to have a few leaky gaskets here and there from sitting but once you get it all dialled in I'm sure you're going to have a great truck...

I bet the a/c isn’t coming on because the system is empty of freon

Nice truck I want one like this

Rusty is going to open up some possibilities for you and make some money hauling stuff for people as well.

i would say to do the transfer case oil. should just take atf since it sat for a long time. have fun

Very cool...instant subscription

Here in the U.K years ago it was common to get a basic Radio player or Radio/Tape player. Equalisers were either an option but normally wired through the vehicle wiring loom. But if you bought an after market one it was quite common to connect the Power Wire direct to the Battery (Normally Red with a ring that fitted on the Battery clamp securing bolt) like the one you pointed out just before the end.

I have 2 a 93 and a 90 3500 crew cab long beds with 454's they both run great, but my 7.3L powerstroke pulls more weight and definitely is easier on my wallet. But I will say I still love my Chevy's

Best you get some Rust kill for that battery tray, before there is NOTHING LEFT!

Man rusty is going to need the ultimate car warsh lol

It's real hard to keep a GMT400 down.

That switch runs the cab light that you pointed at also called a cargo lamp

Order you a nice grill online.... And a set of headlamps there cheap. Are a wrecking yard they're full of them back lights 2

Still watchin' the rest of it but looks like you left your belt on wrong side of idler pulley, the diagram showed it on outside but pulley isn't grooved meaning should be on inside so it doesn't wear out the ribbing I also really recommend that you get a timing gear replacement for the timing chain delete, you'd never need to worry about a wore chain and fucked timing

It's the cargo lamp switch..

I've had my Chevy Silverado 1500 for 12 years. It's a 1993 too That dually will make you a good truck, keep an eye on the oil, they like to leak out of the front and rear mains after 150k miles on average. The 350 TBI's go down at around 250k too, so start looking for an extra spare motor to keep around for a swap lol, i've put in 3 Also make sure you ziptie up the upper radiator hose and keep it away from the alternator, (don't ask me how I know lul)

You might wanna replace the idle air control valve. It's idling at around 1500 rpm.

Let air conditionier work for about 20 minutes !!!

Da da da..duh da da da da ....Rusty Lives!~Great job. Get that ownership transferred. Enjoy.

Ah les américains , ils sont moins compliqués Au moins avec quelques papiers il aura le droit de rouler !! En France l administration +préfecture + Un gouvernement qui n aime pas les voitures....

Uma caminhonete dessa aqui no Brasil e muito caro.

Did you change the tbi gasket above the intake?

Love your video, more showing than talking. A okay ok👍

Nice!

Super proud of you getting every thing done I'd put the blower hose on this and fix it Quick as well as the speakers and the bath is well needed for this for sure I'll be watching for sure

She is also a clean truck, I mean by rust

I have the same truck it’s just a 91 but it’s doesn’t want to run right

You earned a sub my man. I love this type of centent!

Also the actual radio is down next to the gas pedal, that’s called a control head on the dash. Usually it’s the amp/receiver unit by the pedal that goes bad you can still buy them.

You need to get new membership badges for Ol' Rusty

I will donate my left ball to charity for a truck like that

That is amazing.. not even a leak.

Pressure wash the dually pickup please

J'adore 😍😍😍 il sont trop beau cela

Why don’t you drive these trucks

The old girl still starts up. Good work !!!

The switch is the dome light over ride so it will or will not come on when you open the door.i have a 94 two door blazer has the same switch

Is that horse trailer for sale?

Head gasket leak. Fog out the exhaust?

Would you consider selling it

Wd40 finally burned off

FYI As an owner of a 98 chev there are somethings to be aware of with these 90s chevy truck doors: The plastic interior door handles are prone to break easily so be careful. Even "new" replacements are usually brittle. Never lean your arm on the window glass unless it is fully opened. These doors can be a nightmare to repair the guts.

Hey Nate when you are replacing drive belts on a Chevy and most jeeps simply Put a socket and a breaker bar on that bolt on the tensioner. The bolt is made Into the tensioner and won't come loose. And I KNOW ya got a breaker bar! On most Ford's there is a square Hole 1/2 inch for a breaker bar.

Blown head gasket?

GM Good Wrench Service.

How many miles does Rusty have on her but it looks like she’s starting to come out of it run good wow stay safe and have fun my friend.

You'd think the car companies would've been smart enough to make the BATTERY TRAYS out of plastic instead of steel! That's the only steel part on the truck that SHOULD be plastic! Sheesh.

You got a nice truck bro

Gets some POR 15 and clean and paint with this product. Cleans and neuratralizes rust, then paint it with their top coat. It's lasted me for ten years without rusting again. I think its a Eastwood product.

Great Video, check the vacuum lines because it’s running a little fast, it really runs good to have sitting that long. Check the brake light switch, that will make the brake light stay on. Good Luck with Rusty and happy motoring and Stay Safe ✌🏽

Sueco the child

sounds like its running good!! I'm pretty sure all that smoke and crap at the tailpipe was old grime burning off. if it was something ealse goin on it wouldn't have cleared up. rusty lives !!!

Qual e o ano dela

good job mate

Give it a real good clean , and polish it I bet it will look awesome , the paint looks pretty good really , it’s a good truck

Paint it navy blue and voila....you have a replica of Martin Riggs' truck from Lethal Weapon 2

Looks great! Nice work!! Congratulations!!

That switch is for the cargo light, also I’d bet the farm the issue with the lights is a bad ground at the back of the frame.

Now remember kids safety glasses are optional LOL

AC won't come on unless you have the blower fan on

Don't make em like that anymore. Love to have one. Great fine buddy

23:29

Looks like your brights are stuck on @22:14

She cooked out the condensation in the crankcase finally

Chevy The Heartbeat Of America !

How does one left something sit for 12 years

16:51 look to the right side in that car is that a human leg

Epic bud 💪 I would be well chuffed with that truck.

Give it a good clean it will look nice and put some paint on the rims

Look lights too! Brakes ! and wash !!

Great video, fair play on getting her going.

I love old chevys and other gms.

So awesome. Great job!!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!

Nice job!

Is that 4wd? If Rwd, smaller engines offer better traction, as well as mileage. Even with 4wd, if you have a lighter engine, you don't have to use the 4wd as often, but they aren't worth switching out. The paint looks fine to me, just wash and wax at a self serve car wash, and while there, hit the underside and battery box with the spray wax.

Hermoso tu trabajo 👍👍👍

White smoke would be rings and valve seals. Blue smoke is head gasket. But might as well replace them all!

Test your fan clutch. Lots of overheat problems caused by weak fan clutch... It should not spin "freely" but rather have resistance. Sounds like a tap or knock on this side of the camera. Put some b-12 chemtool or sea foam or like to engine oil it may quite that.

Carb might be running a little rich

is that white smoke??? head gasket possibly

I generally hate American vehicles, but this truck looks to be easy as hell to work on. Looks like a strong runner!

My AC didn't work in my 96 Silverado at first they will not kick on if they are low there's a low safety switch on them I guarantee you if you probably put a can or two in there with some sealer and some oil Arctic seal that AC will probably work
