Giving this old 2007 GMC Sierra a second chance 

Yes! Finally, someone bringing attention to auction tampering. It’s a real thing, it’s a real problem.

"paid for the sunroof", I did that with a convertible when I was younger... top down, heat blasting, snow blowing!

"Over the river and through the woods to the junction box we go..." Love it.

I've been fixing cars for 30+ years and I've never seen a brake hammer before, technology these days!! What a time to be alive :)

This is my favorite gen of GM truck (maybe just because I'm familiar with it?). I love the plain wheels and the cloth interior - I find the seats very comfortable. Changing headlights without tools? Awesome. So many things to like. I'm also okay with this engine - it's a work truck after all. Nice transformation.

Knowing you don't earn a living with video content, thank you for taking the time to share. It's great being able watch an experienced guy doing work. You're like a teacher.

As a 4.3 owner I can confirm the back two plugs were a pain to change. The 4.3 is a pretty good engine though, plenty of power for my 2012 Silverado SWB

The scream while you backdown the ramps has become great entertainment!

That truck is in mint condition to us in Canada. Laughed at the frame rack on a stick, perfect. The clean freaks must have lost their minds looking at this one. Great video.

You removed the door panels and didn’t use cavity wax. Had to double check which channel I was watching. Nice job

The camera angles, lighting, and commentary on your videos are top notch! I’m learning a lot.

Oh lord its a 4.3 v6! Gotta say one of my favorite parts of every new project is you screaming while driving/coasting the vehicle off of the trailer lol!

Even old work trucks can use a little love occasionally. Thanks for share.

What a difference basic maintenance and a damn good cleaning make! Cheers for another excellent video, Scott, and here's to many more.

@vehcor I love it when we go on field-trips on this channel!

Yeah! 4.3v6, the old version ,had a few of those.Solid engine and truck, this definitely is not your ordinary "Boring Build Friday".

This was a great video, just like all the rest. This is more practical for the majority of us, hope you can find more trucks in this generation.

I still laugh every time I hear 'The Scream'! Frame rack on a stick: Priceless!

Your videos are Always worth while . Love the use of the air ratchet . Work smarter not harder . 👍🏻👍🏻

The frame rack on a stick comment made me laugh hysterically!!!😂🤣

Well damn...I guess I know what I'm doing for the next hour. Bring it on!

I really like that you take the time to be so thorough with the work that you do. Not often is it seen where people take pride in what they do. You do great work keep doing what you do and thanks for taking pride in your work.

Brought that one back to life! Good save. Amazing how people neglect the basics but it sure makes for good content putting them right! Have a great weekend and best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧 😀

A full build in one video? Awesome! 🙌🏽

Yay, Mr Spotty took his time to appear, loving the mobile frame adjustment tool

Scott, you've built a great channel and community here with people who appreciate your skills as an excellent mechanic and bodyman. You've also proven you can master the video editing skills to tell compelling stories. I appreciate your videos a lot.

Those windows work better than 90% of the other GM trucks out there now a days of the same year, I had to google 710 cap. never heard of that one before lol

Your assistant reminds me of my buddy LW I used to work with. The resemblance is striking.

🤦🏽‍♂️never a dull moment with you and your work legs feel asleep seating in the bathroom watching this 😂😂 Good job better then NEW 👍🏽

''Frame rack on a stick'' this guy never quits, gotta love it. Thanks for sharing.

Projects like this are very satisfying to watch (and do). I called the misfire before you did--you could see it in the exhaust backing it off the trailer. I'm also glad, in a way, that this truck went back down South. As a fellow Rust Belt resident (Cleveland), I too didn't know that rockers were an option on these trucks. Cab corners are rare enough.

The tire is one of the best engine carrying devices I have found. I was first acquainted with it when I bought a used engine for my fairlane. The old engine then sat on that tire pallet for 12 years with no signs of stress on the old tire.

@vehcor I hope you have a great weekend!

Great job getting this truck back into shape! To fix the holes in the seats, I got similar cloth from salvage yard and stitch in patches by hand. Make the patch larger than the hole, then put the patch cloth on inside of hole and sew it with nylon thread.

I love how this guy strives to piss off the haters! 😁

I thought the shovel was one of your jokes until I saw the amount of dirt you shoveled out. Great job!!!

Me watching as he repairs everything that I have spent the last 8 years replacing on my 05 but all in one video. Came out great guys nice work!

“710 cap missing “ 🤣🤣 I got it

I like this generation, and I like the WT package. It's weird how this used to be plenty of truck for most people, but now everyone feels they need a 4500HD DuraCummins Crew Cab MegaBed King Denali Platinum Ranch with ostrich covered massage seats and suede carpet to get to the job site, or the Starbucks.

Unfortunately I've seen many dishonest thieves pull that trick of disabling vehicles over the years...even on stuff I was selling myself that I knew ran well. Luckily, both times it happened to me was on tractors I was auctioning, and I was able to get them running before the bidding started. I view it as nothing but theft, just like stealing money out of the owner's pocket. Just discovered your channel today and subscribed. Great content.

This truck was in a flood. Super job Scott very impressive work.

A simple truck. What a wonderful idea.

I actually miss CARQUEST! Was best where we live anyway. Now I just have to find someone who wants every DIECAST I bought starting with the WRECKER! Good video and thank you!

Macgyver wood be proud of your hack fix of that 3rd door latch

Great use of the eyecromiter, and a diversified application of the bumper installation tool.

You are a hero. I watch the video from beginning to end. I tip my hat to you for your mighty deeds. God willing, when I enter America, I will visit you because I respect you a lot. I just wait for the approval of the American delegation to enter me.

Youre good mechanic and you are honest you really change those broken once.

Its crazy when you do such an awesome job and it's still people out there hating. I told one person on my channel if you don't like it's easy don't watch..lol

Ahhh...the venerable GMT800 chassis trucks. Some of the best GM ever made.

Playdoughnium (PlyD) is in the periodic table in the metalloids section along with Chinesium (Xi) across from that in the nonmetal section you will find blinker fluid (Bf).

Man, again, you're doing my evenings better, making me laugh! Have a great day!

I have a 2007.5 (GMT 900) Sierra. The only options above this are 4x4, 4.8 v8 and HD suspension. It's nice having a somewhat simple truck in a day of tons of electronics. I do have to envy the ease of the headlights on this one though, mine are WAY more annoying. I also had to replace the hitch on mine due to rust and it uses that exact same model. Mine was a bit more challenging though using only hand tools on a gravel driveway 4 months after knee reconstruction surgery. I was a bit shocked when I discovered they don't really have real bumpers, but those chrome pieces are more like a hard bumper cover and it's really just a bunch of brackets holding things together. This truck while not a big pricey, high-level truck, will make someone a good reliable daily driver that will last quite a while. It won't be fast or tow a huge trailer, but it'll work hard for many years. Taken care of, that thing has a lot of years and miles left in it.

Everytime I wait for the yell when backing off trailer. Makes me laugh everytime

This is 1 of the best channels on youtube

Oooohhhhh.. this is gonna be a good ole Scott special. Wow... we have a full length feature too. Stay safe and be well. Have a great weekend if your not too snowed in.

You know why I love your videos, because you make everything looks so easy

I watched this because I have an 03 just like it and going to drive it till it drops, thought I might learn something, and not only learned some stuff I might actually need to know later but enjoyed your sterling comments, guess I will suscribe because I’m retired and enjoy watching stuff instead of sweating my nuts off in the un-air conditioned machine shop. keep em coming

No complaints, just enjoyed the hard work to bring the truck back to life.🇨🇦

ALWAYS a good market for a truck...smart flip every time....

Hey Scott, I’m really enjoying these repair/maintenance videos. The headliner how-to was excellent!

That truck gets to live an almost rust-free life! YAAAH!

Love the sarcasm and dry humor. Also, damn good mech

Hello Scott , GMC is always worth saving !

Hey, hang on I've got one of those 'frame racks on a stick'...wheeee I'm a bodyshop! Had a good chuckle at that, awesome sense of humour! Your detailing gnome should have a 'dirtiest pick-up detail' video lined up!

When I was working as a mechanic, I😅 learned why mechanics aren’t usually gear heads. The last thing you want to do on is work on cars on weekends . I changed occupations and because a gearhead. 😎

Just when I thought it couldn't get more boring you hit new highs...err...lows. Keep up the good work! 😂

Workin on my fathers truck truck. Gotta say thanks for this video 🙌🏽

Love the "FIX"! Lucky new owner! Well done Scott! Be well! Rich

Loving this delightful Ford Free content! Thanks!

“Frame rack on a stick”, hahaha gotta love it!

Ewww, distributors and timing lights! Brings back memories of working on my 350 with the HEI set up. I love these GMT 800 trucks. I still drive an '06 with the big bad 6.6 TD/Allison combo. Fully loaded, heated leather, sunroof. Wouldn't trade that thing for any newer truck! Nice resurrection, the previous owner was definitely a dirt freak!

Love these builds. I'm cheap and broke so this is the kind of stuff I drive. I always pick up at least a good tip or two. Thanks!

Lol 😆 when you mention those inexperienced critics as RU-vid experts! Love it.

I believe I have that very same "frame rack on a stick" great video, I've been working my way through your older vids watching all the Chevy/gmc content. Lots of useful info.

that Sierra Classic (any GMT800s built in 2007 are considered Classic to differentiate from the GMT900s) cleaned up a treat! I bet we have some G8 content coming soon as referenced by the arrowhead you pulled out of the console!

I always found the problem with LED bulb replacements is that the cutoff at the top edge is not as abrupt as a regular bulb - it's not about led versus halogen, and it's not about brightness. I think it's to do with the size of the element versus filament, and how the reflector/refractor is designed for the smaller light origin. The center of the light can be the same height but the more gradual cutoff can still cast enough light above the "cutoff" line to dazzle oncoming cars. I tried 3 different brands in my Bronco and eventually gave up. If you can find an LED bulb where the element is the same size and position as the original bulb then it would be fine.

Your Multi-Function Installation tool is quite versatile indeed. The Headliner Gnome probably might want to watch his back, one never knows when Mr. Spotty might get annoyed and spring his trap. No more Gnome!!!!

This is the content I was looking for! Both my trucks are mechanically and physically sound so there ain’t much to work on. I like seeing other people do maintenance on vehicles.

This was a good one Scott. Bought almost same one only short bed single cab copart NH. 600 bucks drove it on trailer. 6 hour ride home ( bought a harley also up there) built a SS clown for the kid. Had 212k on it. It now has 350k. 4.3 5 speed stick . Kid works with nascar so the sob is driven all over country. The handle on 3 rd door on my rotted plow truck got my fingers good tonight plowing snow 8 degrees it broke and chopped up the ole fingers🥶🤣. Having a beer 4 o’clock in morning after plowing watching. Thanks for great videos 👍👍👍

What an incredible transformation and as you say shame about the seat burns 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The running commentary is a hoot.

hell of a refresh. thanks for documenting

Once again Scott, you turned a Sow's ear into a silk purse. Well maybe a nylon purse. Great work as always!

Very Smart man checking that Coil

One thing GM did well on these years of trucks was making it easy to change the headlight bulbs by pulling those two pins out.Of course they had to change it.

I have the same 06 Sierra 5.3 engine and let me tell you those clothe Seats are one of the most comfortable seats I’ve owned on a vehicle…I love my truck

Ex dealer flat rate mechanic here - 35 years...I have probably swapped out a thousand spark plugs with an air ratchet. Um, that's what it's for. DUH! I did however always start them with a short piece of hose to avoid the very painful stripped syndrome. Whoever is saying that using the air ratchet is an error is smoking the good stuff or an backyard amateur. I am a little surprised we didn't see or you didn't service the trans. But it's sold so I'm over it! Great episode, thanks.

That bumper installation tool is very versatile, I need to get one!

Sweet!! More trucks! Looking forward to more of these. I have to catch up with the last build, work crazy. But.... now I have time due to fracturing my back in 2 spots.... stupid black ice. (Didn't see it getting out of truck, found it on the way down though)

This was fun to watch, been watching through your videos and just realized you are local. Earned a subscriber!

I found your site by accident, and glad I did. Very professional and look forward to seeing more videos.

Ahhhh I wanted to see Scott's GM Truck Emporium! :)

Old myth of sucking the threads out of the cylinder head using air tools. If the threads come out with the spark plug,then there was a previous problem! Shoveling dirt out of the cab had me laughing! Dirtnali has met its match! 😎

Happy Friday! I like this mixture of body/interior/mechanical work. Great video Scott.

Great job. Amazing what a little TLC and maintenance will do. Love these smaller jobs too. Keep up the good work.

You make every job seems so easy .. I really enjoy watching your videos.

Nice job, looks brand new.

Wow drum brakes and manual windows, I didn’t think that was even possible on an 07

When I was a kid growing up in the rusr belt of NE Ohio, Western Auto sold "Slip on rocker panels" Just slip them on and sheet metal screw them down. You no longer snagged you pant leg on the jagged rocker panel.

that was funny about the vent filter. there are people who really have strong opinions about those relocation kits.
