- This rewind Wednesday we take a dive into the General Motors 6.0L Vortec motor that has been around since 2001. It's always fun to go back in time and take a look at the cars and trucks that are rarely talked about anyjmore. The demo was a 2008 GMC 2500HD with the 6.0 vortec motor! Thanks for stopping by. #gmc #rewindwednesday

I set up this channel as a way to share enthusiasm towards moving forward. I'm here to watch, encourage and motivate anyone who is in the trenches gettin' it done every. single. day. I started daily #vlog on youtube on Aug 20th 2018 with only 130 subscribers and haven't looked back since.

I'll see you tomorrow! Hammer that subscribe button! :)
Please republish with corrected information. 6.0 Vortec was first introduced in 1999. I currently have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 6.0. 425,600 miles and still trucking.
You are right, thanks for keeping me straight. Glad to hear yours has almost a half a mill!!
Im sorry no offence buddy but i feel like sales men don’t know shit (as in knowledge) about what they are selling.
@@Inspector694 I fully agree, which is why several years ago I started doing my own research on vehicles prior to stopping by a dealership.
Do you have any engine mods?
@@danielorozco937 if you are asking about my truck, no mods I've done except if you count a K&N drop in air filter. The previous owner may have, but I don't think so.
I got an 02 2500 HD Sierra and my 6.0 has 612k. The crazy part about it is the truck itself is pretty beat but the motor still runs like it’s new
Thats Awesome do you drive it normal or baby it
Just got mine up to 300,000 as long as you Matience them they run great.
I know this vid is 3 years old (at the time of me writing this), but my '05 2500HD 2WD 6.0L company truck is at 280,000 miles and yet still runs as smooth as any brand new engine made. Amazing.
2003 GMC Yukon Denali, the LQ4. Bought it, can’t remember exactly.. 2012? Previous owner bought it brand new and his teenage daughter learned to drive with it. Currently 197k miles, exactly 0 engine issues, reg maintenance and only replacing worn components that can’t outlive the motor over the years. My dad is old school muscle car guy, and he’s impressed with the tuning of the engine.
Flooring it pushes you back in your seat, and its my daily driver not even joking. Love that thing.
Plan to add a sloppy stage 2 cam kit, TBSS intake and stall converter, but hesitant.. afraid to mess with perfection.
2000 2500 Silverado with almost 250k. Trucks going to fall apart around the motor
I have a 08 2500hd 6.0 and it’s amazing (Except mpg)
Bright side of this... it could be a 8.1 😂😂 glad it’s holding up well!!
The 06 of mine gets a steady 10-11. 11 unloaded and 10 towing 😂
Sean Phillips I have a 2006 2500HD with 4.10s and 33”s and I average about 10-11 as well. I don’t do much HWY driving but I bet on the HWY I wouldn’t get much more than 12 or 13.
Me too homie
I have a 2013 2500hd z71 and get 13.6mpgs whether I'm playing around or driving normal
2015 2500 HD 4x4 crew cab 6.0 176,000 and still going strong. Put plugs and plug wires on it. Brakes. And that’s it. No troubles to date
That’s freaking awesome, stories like these are why I do videos. Glad it has been a beast for you!
Nice i have a 2011 denali hd 6.0 with 235k miles i just got it about 4 months ago and so far just an oil change and a little bit of add ons like audio and a lightbar mounted on the bumper
@@Chuzado_117 2015 2500hd 6.0 208k truck runs/drives/looks new, all but the driver seat.
@@Turbo-wj9qc cool and yes mine too just the normal wear on the seat from whoever had it before
Good to know, might be in the market for one. Information like this is invaluable; peace of mind.
2007 GMC Sierra 2500hd with the 6.0...310,510 miles on it and still running to this date.👍
Currently own a 2013 2500hd Silverado running the 6.0,only mod I’ve done to it is a cold air intake. Love the truck to death,hauls my 33’ camper anywhere I drag it,no issues
Did the 2500 6.0 have the afm in it?? I cant find no info on it
Kind of a while since you posted this comment, but, do you get any better gas mileage with that cold air intake?
@@antoniop5889 no it does not which Is one of the reason why I think it’s a great motor
Mine has 300k and , I was told lifters were bad on it and some guy from Mexico told me that was a lie , he change the exhaust bolts in both sides , exhaust manifold bolts brake and cause a tik tik tik noise. Once he change those bolts my engine sound so healthy and run a lot more efficient. No more noise from the engine , strong engine, extremely reliable.
That is exactly what my mechanic told me last Friday.
Not sure abput the lifters
My 07 has a really bad missfire in cilynder #2 and turns out it was a bad lifter🥴
UPS converts the 6.0L vortecs to natural gas and uses em in their trucks . That's how reliable they are and that says a lot .
Never knew that, that’s very interesting! I’ll check into it, thanks for letting everyone know
What do you mean by natural gas? Are you talking about flex fuel?
@@JVBL1 CNG powerplant reconfiguration
@@JVBL1 compressed natural gas
I got it 06 2500 HD with the 6.0 L it has 230,000 miles on it and I’ve never had to touch the motor been an awesome truck !!
I have actually had 2 trucks with 6.0 engines. The first one was an '09 2500HD that had 365,000 miles on it and ran like a top but was stolen and the front clip was taken and totaled. The second was a '13 2500HD that had 215,000 miles on it and just got rearended and they totaled that too. However I just bought, you guessed it, a '17 2500HD used with 98,000 miles on it.... yzou wanna know why I don't care about the mileage, BECAUSE IT HAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of miles to go !!!!
Did the 2009 2500 6.0 have the afm in it?? I cant find no info on it
@@antoniop5889 Hi there! All HD truck platforms Don’t have ‘Active Fuel Management’ which in return adds to its reliability. 😉
Glad to hear that, just got a 2018 Silverado 6l 3500 hd with 90000. Flushed tranny and changed filter. Changed fluid in both differentials and transfer case. Truck runs great. Going to do the seafoam induction cleaning along with seafoam in the crankcase before oil change. Been adding Lucas to gas every fill up
6.0 vortec 2500HD 2001
380,000 miles and still runing
God damn, you must take care of it like your own child 😂
I have an 06 1500HD with 220,000 on it. The 6.0 is great,still has power drive it everyday
I have 2007.5 NBS VortecMax with the L76 6.0L aluminum block with 175,000 miles and still runs like new. I've owned a lot of trucks in the past 20 years and this is by far the best gasser I've owned
I have an 08 Max. Have you done any tuning to yours?
I drive a shuttle for work, it's a 2014 express with the 6.0 and it's a BEAST! Up and down a mountain all day (1600 feet elevation change in about 5 miles) and the thing rarely breaks 2500 rpm most days! Love it!
working that 6.0! love that.
I had 2014 6.0 which i.pulled alot of weight every day had 385,000 on mobile one oil tune up and oil changes every 8000 miles never touch the enginevr the brakes
I paid $7500 for my 2001 1500hd in 2006 with 120,000. It now has almost 300,000. Only thing major I’ve had to do is replace the transfer case and broken manifold bolts. Awesome truck. Wool wax the rockers, wheel wells, and chassis and it will out last your grand children.
194,000 2008 6.0 2500hd 2wd long bed. 3.73s are a great compromise. 17mpg freeway if speed limit, around 9mpg in town. Averages 12mpg typically for me, but WOMMMMPPP.
I have an 03 GMC 1500 HD 6.0 Liter Vortec heads with 346k miles and runs like new without every having the engine or transmission rebuilt
I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 with a 6.0, packing 300k miles and the only problem I’ve had so far have been noisy lifters and suspension. Overall a great truck!
It's about to go in my 1976 CJ7. Gonna be a beast
2014 gmc sierra 2500.
New to me. 134k miles. Only thing wrong with it was the radio. Previous owner wasn't vehicle savvy. Replaced the fuses and bam blasting out the Bose system like it just rolled off the lot.
It's not a motor it is a engine a motor is electrical
Just got my 2013 2500hd 6L love it
Vortec
I talked to GM owners on the road. The company's that run the 6.0 1999-2006 that use them for escort agency(pilot vehicles) are getting 500K before rebuilding. My 05 just hit 100K averages 8-10 MPG Towing 10,000-20,000 I never thought it would hold up. I was going to get a Duramax but other "wrench heads" I know said that you Under estimated that 6.0 😀 I will do research to find out how to configure a Towing upgrade( cam or something) I plan on keeping this 05 till it is unroad worthy. Square bodies are still Working SO I guess will also. 🇺🇸👍
I've got 2005 2500 Silverado 4x4. Motor started showing age around 120k. Previous owner raw dogged it. Sending it off this winter to have it rebuilt and pro charged. Can't wait to drag mustangs at the stop light!
I pulled the oil cooler lines off it filled it with oil, and drove it around for 45 minutes, it made all these fked up noise started sounding like a diesel.. Also all the oil blew out on the highway and I drove it another 4 miles.. fcking things still working... It's all jacked up but it's working I got like 15 psi on my oil gauge, but I drive it anyway. My oil cooler lines got redneck revamped and they're copper now and the oil pan is completely destroyed. I still drive my silvy.
I have a 2002 denali quadrasteer 1500 . Best truck ever . 6.0 vortec tow and haul like a dream
I got a 2000 2500 with 256K on it,,,just changed the brakes for the first time last week,,,they still were not down to the wear indicators.... As far as the engine,all original, hypertech programmer. k&n drop in, and a set of Banks Headers w/magnaflow exhaust...I think mine having the cast iron heads really has helped with the durability of my truck...
Have had mine since 07', been a good truck. Just routine maintenance performed, only has 157K. The LS platform is just a solid design for longetivity and reliability
My favorite GM motor to date. It's extremely reliable. It will always be relevant.
159 thousand hard pulling miles on my 08 2500 Hd. Plugs wires and a transfer case every 30 k and it's good to go.
I thought this dude was Dave England from jackass at first
haha
Does this motor have the big block in it??
Just bought a 2018 3500LT 6.0.
my Yukon has it and its funny when people try to race me thinking its slow
Right on!!
Only thing it’s fast on is gas. Gets 11 mpg on a good day. It is reliable though. However many half ton engines beat in on power even the 5.0 F-150 .
It is slow
Who tries racing a yukon..idiots
I Gotta 05 Silverado 2500hd, have had no major issues. Oil changes and good gas. 172,000 miles and all I’ve done was upgrade front end suspension. All stock motor. Knock on wood I’ve had very good luck, but then again I take very good care of it. 👍🏻
The key to any vehicle, maintaining higher than what the manufacturer requests! Glad you have a badass truck, you get it!!
6.2s and 5.3s didn’t get lucky enough for the 6.0
I have a 2007 Silverado 2500hd 6.0 and I love it. I had a 2002 Cummins and I miss the pulling power of that but I feel like this chevy will never let me down
Just picked up a 2013 HD 2500 Silverado LT 4x4 w/ 175,000 1 owner truck !!! Runs like new & she’s a tugger 🇺🇸
I was much more impressed with the 6 liter than I was with the duramax
Still have 07’ extended cab 2500 with the 6.0
304,578 miles and still going
My 1999 with 2000 body style, 2500 Silverado HD, was special ordered from the factory with the 6 L Vortech the truck officially as of today has 335,000 miles on it turn the key still fires right up… three years ago I made a move across country pulled 20,000 pound trailer over the Rocky Mountains from Oregon to Alabama not one issue except for maybe it’s a little hot in the cab because the air stop working 10 years ago😊
Oh yeah also it now pulls my 25 foot Crestliner boat
driving my 2000 - 6.0L 2500 since purchased used in 2003 with 70K...now 180K daily driver..once I got past the rusted brake line issues in 2005 it has been trouble free engine...some body rust through but not too bad...
I still have my 2007 GMC 2500 Sierra HD SLE 6.0 4X4 with only 62,000 miles for 14yrs and it has never failed me.
Just got my first 6.0 in a 2003 Yukon Denali XL it runs like a dream possibly the smoothest running engine I've had so far
I’m about to buy one tomorrow if it checks out. $7700.00 + $650 for Ttl. I asked for the vin number and before he gave it to me he said that the truck actually has a new cluster. Said the guy that does his online publishing didn’t know. Listed at 115k miles, but actually 154k miles on Carfax. It was a one owner fleet truck, but it is clean and was serviced regularly. Hopefully I’m not getting screwed. He has a lot of cars, but I wanted to see the hour meter🤞
How do i wire coilpa ck in a 6.0 from a2000. In a 94 gmc sierra 2500 had a 7.4 in it with dist
Somebody help this man!
03 Sierra it has 170k miles with a supercharger how long do you think it’ll last
Depends how many passes you do!
Hey man I have a 2002 Silverado HD with a 6 liter vortec 232000 miles still runs like it just got off the lot
2018 rst tahoes 6.0 with 10 speed
I have an 08 Silverado LTZ 2500 HD that now has 220,000 miles on it and is still runs so incredibly strong you would not believe that Engine has gone that many miles and a lot of hard miles pulling big heavy trailers and this thing still starts up and you could pull a house with it, It’s The best vehicle purchase I’ve ever made. I change the oil every 4/5000 miles I have done the spark plugs and wires three times and the coil packs once . This truck has the six speed automatic transmission with the trailer hauling package so you can really pull a lot with it. I never envisioned that I would still be driving it and still doing the same stuff with it 12 years after I bought it. I feel like this truck has many more years left.
I have a 2006 2500HD with the 6.0L along with 4.10 gears and 33” tires and while it’s not the fastest truck on the road I love my truck. It sounds aggressive, has plenty of power for what I need. My biggest complaint I have is fuel mileage, 10-11 mpg is t all that great. But I kind of expected poor MPG when I bought it. It is a crew cab, long bed 2500 so it’s not exactly a light truck.
i get 10 as well!
I have the same truck, crew cab and long bed. I pull a 10,000 lb. gooseneck horse trailer with it, and it is a towing machine. Very stable at 65 mph and enough power with the 4.10 rear end to climb hills. Yes, I do buy a lot of gas!
Got a gmc 2007 2500hd 4x4 only 115000+ still strong wish it got a little better fuel mileage for road trips
I currently have a 6.0l Vortex Maxx in a 07 Silverado 1500 in a half ton truck with 183xxx miles and still runs like brand new they didn't put very many 6.0l in the half ton trucks if you can find out how many they actually did that'd be cool thanks
I’m sure somewhere deep in google we could find this answer!
Yes I have a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ with a 6.0L. It has 286 KMs. Pulls my 28 foot trailer with easy n the gas isn’t as bad as I would of thought. Been awesome and truly the best motor and truck. The dealer I bought off still bugging me for it back lol
I had a 2001 Sierra C3 for years till a lady took me out texting and driving. Then I went to a 04.5 duramax and I’m now returning to the 6.0 with the purchase of an 09 Sierra 2500hd. I actually can’t wait to get it home.
My first truck was (and still is) an 08 2500 hd and I’ve got 279,00 miles on it still running like a champ had to rebuild the transmission at about 270,00 miles but damn I love that thing hate the mpg tho
I run a 2005 6.0 and a 2005 Ford 5.4 SD for my lawn and home care business. The truck has more rust than I would like but the engine/trans are great. Our day to day load is a 3500lb mowing trailer and we rent a 6,000lb wood chipper several times a year. No crazy weights to move but we work in the mountains and deal with steep grades on almost the daily. The 6.0 is better than the 5.4 but both dinosaurs get it done. Our trucks don’t see thruway speeds, typically 45-55mph zones max. In these conditions we have no need for a diesel, we have only wants for a newer gasser
The 6.0 is a beast.
Currently have a 05 1/2 ton 5.3 227thousand on the dial.. got my eye on a 08 2500 6.0 she's only got 33 thousand on the dial.. sexy well kept truck hopefully it all works out. If not the old 5.3 will keep on keepin on.
my 11 2500hd has 430k miles on it.. runs mint, one trans in it
Beastmode
Got a Chevy express 6.0 440k I'm hoping to see 500
That's awesome..ever rebuilt? Or just good maintnience? What's your secret?
My company has a 2004 chevy express with the 6.0l, 300k miles, I don't think it'll ever stop.
Going from a F250 Powerstroke to Chevy 6.0 in a 3500. One thing for sure TONs more room in engine compartment
Massive.
My first pickup is a 2007 GMC Sierra single cab, 8ft bed with a 6,0l
I just got me a 2004 esv 6.0 with 210k and it’s runs badass fully loaded and doesn’t burn any oil.
Lucky!
‘02 2500HD. 174,000 still strong. I deal with NE salt, and it’s issues, but the driveline is bullet proof. Totally worth keeping it on the road in my opinion.
I just bought a '19 with the Vortec. It was time to replace my truck and I was tempted by the L8T, but I have previously owned two 6.0 Vortec's with zero issues. I chose the known reliability over the 40 hp bump. The huge savings I got with the 2020's filling the lots also helped in the decision.
I just traded my Ram/Cummins for a 2500 4x4
Silverado, it seems to have the NO POWER BLUES.
Well, if you're comparing it to a diesel motor it's going to feel that way. No gas motor can compete powerwise with diesel. But for a gas engine it has plenty of power. @@moms762
My 2002 2500 HD 6.0 has 315,000 and is still pulling a 10,000 lb 5th wheel . like a rock
I have an 04 Silverado HD Stock Work Crew Truck, this things Drinks a lot of gas but its reliable... I'm still trying to control the drinking problem but it works Great!.
Drinking problems are the worst!! 😂😂
I have Chevy Silverado, 2005 2500 HD 6.0 over 200,000 miles still love it want to redo everything in it never wanna let it go
I got a 6l v8 when I start it it makes a noise when it warms up it goes away any suggestions what is is
I have a 2002 Yukon with the 6.0 195k miles and she still rips
Hammer time
I got a 2002 wit a 6.0 in to with 200,000 plus still eating up to road.👌
2011 Chevy 3500 Express van 6.0 vortec. 154,000 mile rock solid. Was looking to obtain some more info on the vortec and that it's just a term GM came up with to mix air and fuel. Does anyone know if it's similar to hemi?
Just picked up a 2003 GMC 2500HD WT with the regular cab long bed for $500 and it’s got the 6.0 in it and it’s got some guts to it.
I have a 2003 1500hd with the crew cab and 4x4. It has 150800 miles on it and it drives beautifully.
I wanna put one in my Caprice so bad, its already built for towing with an NV4500, 14BSF, and 4.10s. The old LT1 still runs pretty good though.
I'm thinking of buying a 2500 with a 6.0 engine. I was just checking to see how reliable they were. Thank you for the information. I'm going Chevy with a 6.0.
Not a powerhouse but most people don't need a diesel but they still want a heavy duty truck. I just bought a 2013 2500hd Ltz gasser with only 8k miles from Texas. Its literally like brand new and if it goes like my 02 2500 did with 300k and running great just rotted out
Have 2016 GMC 2500HD - Reg cab - 4x4 - 6.0 - G80/4.11 - SnowPlowPrep -- TowPgk -- 8' bed - Bought New - shittty 11.8 mpg --- but still like truck .
I have a 2010 2500 HD with the 6.o cool thing is it has under 36000 orig miles the motor kicks ass
Patrick you have a pretty penny sitting in the driveway! Not to many people can say that!
2009...130000 miles, never been serviced and only one thing replaced since 2009... one universal joint, and about to replace the front one .... and this year first sign of rust on the rear fenders. Hauls my 3 horse camper trailer like nobodies business :). Wife keeps telling me to buy a new one and I keep telling her no way.
Despite everyone that had one as a daily driver and put half a million miles on them in a heavy truck i might add the 6.0 is currently considered THE junkyard find for any gearhead to use in a drag car or basically anyone that wants to swap into any muscle car.. this is why people say LS swap everything.. go to a race track or car show these engines are everywhere and so is the older 1st generation 350 small block which is no longer in production but still the most popular engines..the 5.3 and 6.2 are basically a 6.0 different piston size is only differences same design.. even the old big blocks from the 70s are still relevant in the racing world these 6.0s are the newer version of that older stuff..so ofcourse they are relevant.. what makes the LS series 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.0, and 6.2 unique is they have reliability and performance and share many characteristics.. its unbelievable
No one ever talks about the truck I own the 1500hd which also has a 6.0 I don't really know what the difference between it and a 2500hd 6.0 is 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I had n 04 2500 HD… it was a gas hog for sure but it did what it needed to do for me for the most part but struggled on the heaviest loads on interstate speeds. But I wouldn’t hesitate to get a low mileage truck at a good price if I came across one again…
99 sierra 2500 6.0 I’ve put that thing through hell and it’s running. Near 250k needs valve seals and some engine work but worth the money.
Been plowing with trucks that have 6.0 in them for 7 years. Just bought one the other day. They are great engines if you take care of them!
The 6.0 that's in the SSR 1/2 ton SS, Corvette etc isn't the same 6.0 Vortec in the 3/4 ton HD trucks.
was about to say that. Completely different engines basically. Corvettes and the ssr had the ls2 aluminum block 6.0 with different heads, cam, intake etc
@@evansautomotive307 HOW LIKELY ARE THE LQ4/LQ9 TO LAST 400,000 MILES?
@@jayaguilar8253 I would say pretty likely. Keep the oil changed and put lucas oil treatment in at every oil change. Keeping the oil clean is key
Evans Automotive the Lucas, do you just do the oil stabilizer? or just a engine cleaner??
@@jayaguilar8253 5 quarts of 5w-30 and 1 quart of the Stabilizer. Depending on where you live, if its cold you may want to put half a quart of stabilizer.
Looking into 8.1l, 6.0l, and 6.6l diesel.... have a denali truck with a 6.0 in it now. It's awesome I must say, but a 1500 chassis isn't what I need to haul my yacht so it's time to upgrade to a 2500hd...still keeping my Denali truck tho. "Priorities"
A 8.1 if paired with the Allison trans is definitely worth it
2011 GMC 2500 HD L96 6.0. 206,000 miles and looks brand new. Stage 3 TSP truck cam, long tube headers with cat delete. Runs like a scalded dog. Stock muffler right now that sounds really nice but I am waiting on my new Spintech stainless muffler to come in. Dyno tuned. Has 400 HP to the wheels. Opening up the electric dump adds 7 extra horsepower. I don't need anymore horsepower but it's just a toy for me so have been thinking real hard about a supercharger!!! They claim the motor can handle 750 to 800 HP. We shall see!😁
Just bought a New 2019 Chevy 2500 HD w/6 L the last yr. Now it's AFM 8 to 4 cylinders and new diesels. Tow a Bobcat and 3,000 pds. of bricks w/ little effort. No worries about AFM like the 2020 model or regen. We just had 6'' of Heavy wet snow No problem. Took the Snow plow money and tricking it out.
Thats awesome! What model did you buy? The heavy duty's are bad ass man I hope it runs great for years to come, Congrats!
@@Cody_Reed Just the WT, but Iam slowly tricking it out. Running B.s, Head ache rack w/ LEDs, real Leather seat covers, Husky floor mats. Next is aluminum wheels. Thanks
I've got this motor in my 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT stock 330k kms still brand new basically
I have a 2013 regular cap Silverado 6.0 z71 awesome truck
I have a 6.0 vortex in a 2007 Skoolie - 5 window short school bus, with a body by Thomas. I converted it to an RV, so not sure of the weight. I get 13 mpg on the highway and about 10 around town. Currently 130,000 miles, runs well, no issues. But while almost flooring it, I maybe hit 40 mph over the mountains. Perhaps the weight explains the sluggish low power.
I bought a 2007 2500hd 6.0 vortec that had a rebuilt transmission, from a guy whom just wanted it off his property for 500$ it had 210k on it... now after only putting a 50$ solenoid it has 450k the original motor (still got lots of power) is my daily work truck which I put thru hell and only change the oil every 7500 miles.. now I do expect this 'Joe Biden' of a truck will croak over and die at any point now. But I will say these trucks are amazing
Still have a 02 Sierra 2500hd with only 125k on it. Drivetrain and engine are great, welded new rockerpanels and cab corners this year. New headlight housings, brakes and rotors all round. Did the Brake lines and fuel lines and filter.
