I found this 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500hd Duramax diesel for sale on craigslist for just $3000! So I head down to pick it up as fast as i can and drive it back home. Is it junk? Let's find out!
Guys Vermont does not title cars that are over 15 years old. No car that i have bought on this channel had a title if it was over 15. Thats just how we do it here. No title required to own or register
I think car titles like state safety inspections are totally unnecessary hindrances created by bureaucrats that burden ordinary folks from owning affordable used cars.
Keep the duramax!! fix the rockers and shes minty! also, the latch on the door handle itself may be broken. If thats the case buy a replacement for 15$ and ur back door will work
Definitely my favorite generation of these truck's. I just absolutely love the look of these. I'm a Ford guy but I appreciate these older Chevy's and GMC's.
If we are talking the smart money choice, it would be fix and sell the duramax since it has great profit, and diesel is only worth it if you tow for a living since it can get expensive when something breaks. Although the cat eye is my favorite generation
Definitely keep the Deramax because of the reliability and fuel efficiency. Thanks for all the amazing content you produce and I can’t wait to see more👍
Checkout flying wheels, he does some cool shit and hes from hampstead Im in salem and i always drive past his shop those are good roads for the motorcycles
@@jamesrainville6226 right but it's not like they both can't stick around and see how the duramax proves itself. Vehicles sold cheap usually are sold for a reason
the diesel far outweighs the gas though in the long run, this duramax gets better fuel mileage than an S10 and has way more capabilities. and as an owner of a diesel for almost 5 years now i can tell you they do NOT cost more to fix and maintain once you factor in the fuel savings and how long they last. not to mention 210k on them is literally nothing
I’m at work with my AirPods in and a diesel truck went past around 3:40 in your video and I legit thought it was yours and went dang that turbo does whistle 😂
Honestly, I've watched you for years now. I say keep the Diesel. Sell the Gasser, with the amount of cars you buy and sell, this is better for towing. You never know what you're gonna get next!
The diesel would definitely be a profitable truck to flip and sell, but you would probably save a lot in fuel money if you kept it. We have a 2001 GMC Yukon and we've had some problems with that pushbutton 4WD. The less electronics the better. But honestly I think either truck would be great. If it were me, I would normally go with that 6.0. Especially, considering the fact that it has a long bed (at least it looked like one). But, fuel prices have started going up where we live so I would recommend the diesel. Keep up the great work and God bless - Everett
looks like a decent truck for 3k man nice job i found out last month that vermont doesn't bother you with check engine lights with older than 15 year vehicles now too. I'd sell the gasser TBH better mileage, better towing will last longer.
Nice truck. Might be a good work truck for your summer cutting jobs. You can put a lot of tools, trimmers, gas etc. In that toolbox on the bed instead of on your trailer. Is the duramax truck a 4x4 or 2 wheel drive? Liked the GMC you drove on your 3 month trip.
I saw one in NJ for 2.5k, but it had 375k miles and pretty rusty. Typically the used duramaxes and power strokes loose their value the most. Dodge diesels have high resale values.
Wow VT doesn’t require any title that’s proof that inspection and registration fees here in good ol Cali are a money making machine. I just paid $300 for my car registration
Y'all have it rough. Here in Oklahoma, it costs about $200 to tag a vehicle from out of state, then $90 for the next year (could be less), and it decreases for every year the vehicle ages as long as the tags remain valid
@@thomasmatejka7367 decreases I wish! When I lived in Texas back in 2014 to register a car it was only $60 plus $20 for inspection even my dad’s 2005 Honda Accord is about $200 and its an extra $49 for a personalized plate per year.
@@thomasmatejka7367 crazy.... previously i was in Washington which was a happy medium my county had no emissions and no isspection at all just $80 sticker yearly.
I wasn’t paying too close of attention at the start and when I saw the Chevy emblem on the steering wheel I was so confused. 2:23 cleared it up for me though.
I owned a 2004 Silverado with a Duramax . It honestly was not a bad truck. However when I used it the way I needed to use a truck it didn't meet my requirements. It was also due for the injectors and the top end work and I did not have the money to repair that. You should find out if that is an LBZ or an LBY Duramax. I think what I miss most about that truck was the Allison Transmission. If I were you I would keep the Duramax and get rid of the gaser as you'll do better towing with the diesel than you will the gaser.
The extended cab doors on the 99-07 trucks or at least ones that I’ve dealt with have all back doors which make you think they don’t open but they most likely do but they just get really hard to open if the truck is older
I actually sold my 07 2500hd classic ECLB 6.0 truck and replaced it with a 2005 lly dmax ccsb truck, far happier with the duramax but I had to do the head gaskets right off the bat which sucked but at least that's done now.
I live down in mass and I actually bought a 2002 2500 crew cab lb7 duramax for $1800 but I had to do inner and outer rockers, cab corners bed and fender but so I’m into it about 6k now
I'd do the rockers (as Americans call them) and keep it and sell the gasser. It does better gas mileage and is better for towing, I would sort out the fuel guage though haha!
I believe you should keep the Diesel because it’s the real work Horse that you can always rely on because that the next Second truck that I’m going to buy I always wanted to own a diesel especially a Duramax
It depends the diesel gets better mileage, sounds better, hauls more, but if you repair all the rust spots on the body maybe even throw the badges back on you could make a lot off that thing
The door panel probably just needs a new handle. Mine broke and worked like that until I put in a new one. I just use the inside hande and works better with less stress that itle break
