My dad was a mechanic and literally could fix anything. He was my hero and best friend. He died a few yrs ago at 73. I started watching Scotty after my father passed away and I’m so grateful to Scotty’s channel. He reminds me so much of my daddy and they don’t make good men like this anymore. Y’all better listen and learn while you can. Scotty is a treasure to us all!! Love you Mr Scotty!!
I have an 07 Silverado with the 4.8 L that I bought brand new. It has 398,000 miles with never a major failure. Just replaced alternator, battery and starter. Has had one spark plug change. Still runs like the day I bought it. Never a transmission problem.
But I already have one with 293k and it has been reliable so far and I want to keep it. I paid that transmission price already and the original lasted 278k. Sure transmissions are expensive but so is buying another vehicle. I would say that 278k on an automatic that towed trailers for a lot of its miles is not bad.
My 95 k1500 went to 335k with all original drivetrain and no fluid changes due to my ignorance but I sometimes wonder if it would of lasted a little longer. Truck has 371k as of right now and if I get it to 400k on the rebuild unit the truck already payed for itself.
@@Tungsten23 they should be stronger than if anything compared to the older 4l60e or 700r4 With the 80 in the 6l80 being a stronger nominal torque capacity Even though the newet engines produce more power.....
Gunz I own a landscaping business as well. I have owned all kinds of trucks, i will swear by the bowtie till i die. Very rugged and dependable work truck
This truck has a four-speed 4L60E trans which is known for these issues. The six-speed 6L80E transmissions rarely have issues. 4L60Es can be great as long as they care maintained. I just sold my 2013 Silverado and it had a 4L60E, I bought it with 159k miles and sold it with 190k miles with zero issues, and I only had it for almost two years. It was a great truck.
Wish i didn't sell my '94. Sold it with 269,000 miles. Original clutch and timing belt. The guy i sold it to drove it for two more years, still same clutch and timing belt when he traded it in.
My friends 2019 Cadillac Escalade is having transmission problems. They told her to run it till it brakes. What a piece of junk. 45000 miles. Dutton Cadillac , Riverside California
Try to break that before the warranty is up. =Probably the reason they (GM) told her to keep driving it. Look into a lemon law lawyer to see if she can get it fixed right away. The dealer only sells you the car so dealer is only doing what GM tells it to do. You must take GM to court in order to get it fixed. =After the purchase the dealer has little to do.
I have a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 W/T, 4.3 liter V6 with a T5 (manual) transmission. Over 300,000 miles now, replaced the distributor because the neoprene gear wore out at 175,000 miles; went ahead and replaced the water pump and timing chain though they weren't broken. Otherwise, just a couple of tune-ups and countless oil changes, runs like a top.
@@damitbobby6677 the old fords were good, I really liked the Ford highboy, but the new fords (96+ ) are pretty meh the 5.4 being complete junk. But it depends on what vehicles you know how to fix.
@@sloughsharkseh3307 The 4.6L 2V F150s from 97 to about 07-08 are pretty bullet proof. I should know I own one and do my own maintenance and repair at the shop I work at.
Same here had a 2011 gmc and and older Chevy caravan and transmission in the gmc went out at 60k and the engine starting smoking at 70k in the Chevy. Both were maintained well too
Now did you beat the transmission up with regular towing etc? I'm just curious. That's always a hidden consideration with buying a truck... like was the transmission beat on & the useful life worn down etc...
@@blakehyslop2605 I was interested in your reply as well so thanks for replying. Did you dump the truck or fix? Was it under warranty still at 60k & 70k?
The manual will always say to change the fluid early, ignore the "life time" section of the manual and read closely. My 94 suburban says change every 15k miles if it's used in severe services (hint: all cars are severe service. Yes that means you). Neglecting tranny oil is a one way stop to catastrophe.
Hey Scotty,.....sad to see you leave TEXAS,....Just to let you and a few of us out there, my 09 Silverado 5.3 6-speed auto with,.....wait for it,.........215,348 and smooth as butter!
Mine is 09 Silverado 4wd 1500 with 214k miles. Only recently has it been making a cranking noise when i shift it to reverse and turn the whole tire. You wouldn’t know what that would be?
Still driving around my 03 Sierra 1500hd. Blew up the oe 6.0. Spent 5k for a new motor. That motor blew a heads casket. Spent $500 for a new water pump, fan and liquid head sealer. Installed in my driveway. Towed the boat a few times. Drove it up to Tahoe. No further problems other than I need a new old truck. I’m in no hurry to spend 30k on a newer used truck. Thanks Scotty.
Mechanic hell, you need to be a rocket scientist to work on today’s crap. One time I had a problem with my Saturn. The Saturn house hooked it up to the factory live. And Detroit couldn’t tell the dealership how to fix it. I’m old school. 68 Chevelle, real gas, no computers and very little smog. My account picture is going into my Chevelle one day. The mother is sitting in my garage, ready to go.
I recently bought a 2013 Tahoe with 160k on the clock last year. Thankfully haven't had any major issues other than general maintenance. Transmission running strong, no engine ticks.
@@catfeline1530 On the transmission? That's just as bad as a flush. You need some friction material in your transmission in order for it to shift properly. All automatic transmissions are built like that. Just drain and fill at every 50-60k and you're good. At some point you'll still need to replace the clutch packs in the transmission. There's nothing you can do to avoid that.
@@blackonblack...9244 what is the friction material and why does the transmission need it? The transmission fluid is to provide lubrication to the gears, if you have metal flaking buildup in the fluid due to gear wear, it should be changed. The less wear on the transmission from good lubrication with clean fluid, the longer it should last.
@@catfeline1530 The reason why the automatic transmission engages gears is because of the friction material from clutch packs. It does this by smooth engagement. All automatic transmissions have them. The friction material on those packs is the first to wear out the most on an automatic transmission. It ends up in the transmission fluid and provides friction and help for the clutch packs to engage. Those clutch packs are submerged in transmission fluid for cooling and prevention of major wear of all components.
My 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 transmission went out at 75000 miles. Never used for towing. Cost $3200 for a rebuilt 4L60e. Three year 100000 mile warranty. 🙁 I figured I just got a bad one. I bought the truck new. It is in like new shape. Still looks new. It is about the only problem I’ve had. Still cheaper then a new Truck.
I have 2009 Silverado. Transmission is act bad. 115000 miles. I will drive till brakes. And I rebuilt transmission is cheaper than go buy new truck for 55 thousand dlrs
Take it to Precision Transmission in Amarillo. They charged me 2 grand to pull, build and install. And they future proof it by using heavy duty party on the areas that take more damage. Best transmission shop ive been to. Took 2 days to get my truck back.
Thanks Scotty! Had my sister find a body shop where she got a fender and bumper pulled straight and headlight assembly installed by the owners kid on a Sunday back when shops were closed Sundays. All for $100 bucks. She went back and gave him a gift certificate for supper, he did a great job and since here truck was paid for, it sure beat the quote she had for nearly $3000 dollars! Great advice.
@@cayman9873 I'm not sure but it's probably the same as this one. But it has an easy life, never towed anything with it, my wife just uses it to transport the kids around town. I'm nearing 100k miles so probably should think about selling although gas prices are on the rise...
Fascinating - bad luck. My electrician has tried Chevy, Ford, and Toyota trucks here in CT. He has found that all three have transmission problems in the mountains of CT after 150,000 miles. He decided his best bet is to buy the truck he likes the most, and then just put in a remanufactured transmission after 150,000 to get another 100,000 out of it before replacing it with a new one. Currently he is back on Ford again after his Toyota failed a second time at 223,000 miles.
I had a sensor problem with the transmission in my Hyundai Sonata. The mechanic changed the sensor and the car works great now. The procedure cost about $700.
Hey Scotty the expression is happy as a clam because clams look like they are smiling. You said happy steamed claim. Keep doing what your doing love your videos.
Yeah i have '04 1500 5.3L vortec Sierra z71 4x4 with 317XXX & an '08 1500 5.3L vortec Sierra z71 4x4 with 160XXX. Change the fluids every year. Dont forget diffs, transfer case, etc! Dont be cheap with maintenenace
@@googleaccount2637 Change fluids every year??? Considering how many different fluids there are in a vehicle, changing them all could run thousands of dollars at a garage. You certainly don't need new coolant every year. Seems a bit extreme to me unless I'm putting a 100K on annually. Maybe you just like changing fluids and babying your vehicle which is fine with me, I would do mine more often if I had a decent garage to do it in.😄
@@paulcoenen7918 i thrash my sierras and work them hard frequently. I do run a lot of mileage per year & i just change everything myself for a couple hundred $. Coolant is every 3 years, brake fluid i just top up if i have to, atf & rear diff i do every year. Transfer case and front diff every couple years. Its funny people change their engine oil multiple times a year but never touch their atf, diffs or trans case.
My 4l80e transmission lasted 225,000 miles pulling campers bumper pull and fifthwheel also plowing in the winter. I did put a gm rebuilt transmission. Because the 4l80e has so many updates it made more sense to replace it with new rebuilt
They really can. Dell or build your own is better. However, I would even saying building your own PC can be a money pit especially when there's some small thing you don't like about it.
Bought a brand new hp laptop and it was quick first time I loaded into it the next day it took 5 mins to turn on and load into my account never buying an hp again
On my 2nd HP. My first lasted over a decade with zero issues. Only updated because it couldn't run Windows 10 and Microsoft stopped updating Windows 7.
@@wesleygarrison6248 I can't really say anything about the transmissions on the trucks. I do know about the 4T65E that was on the Pontiac Grand Prix and the Buick Lucerne. It was made to work with the 3.8/3.9 engines and they did have a lot of problems with the sensors and solenoids. Those parts just weren't well made and had to be replaced fairly often.
I bought a 2015 Silverado 1500 4x4 from an old retired beekeeper who had it since new until 92000 miles. About 1000 miles down the road cylinder 7 dropped a lifter, now another 2500 miles later the torque converter or trans is toast.
My favorite is the Allison 5-speed and 6-speed transmissions that are coupled to Duramax diesels. My ride is a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500, with 332,237 miles and no rebuilds or replacements. The Allison and the engine still perform like new, and fluid is super easy to change, with an external screw on oil filter as well. Wish they were all Allison's on these trucks.
There is a good chance there are updated parts if you buy a reman transmission. From many manufacturers, not just GM. A competent and honest trans shop with a builder may or may not install updated parts, like the drums that crack in that 6L80 in the video. It depends on what was available when the build was done.
I bought a 05 ford taurus from my neighbor for 200 bucks and I've had that car for 5 trouble free years now lol I actually love the thing! A fuckn ford taurus 🤣
@@SilverShadow02 I've put 40k miles on it? Currently at 153k and I've maintained it and drives great. I thought the vulcans were pretty bullet proof? It's the trans I got to worry about torque converter specifically. Didn't shift too bad before the flush but lucas helps ease my mind ;)
Thanks Scotty!...Well I don’t own a Chevy truck but instead an ‘08 Ford F-150 that’s still going strong with 145,000 miles so you need to make a video on my model, lol also stay safe there in Texas and away from that frigid cold!
Hey Scotty what information services are you using? Can u provide a link in your descriptions? Thank you for all your videos and everything you do, huge fan
Both my grandfather and my dad has owned one. Both reached 300k easy with no issues. Only reason they got rid of it was because they just wanted something new. My family has always been chevy, never had a single issue with any of them.
Those 6 speeds go bad all the time. Little tip: just pull the dipstick and if the fluid looks brown/orange, expect the trans to be on its way out. If you change the old fluid out they usually start slipping so if the fluid looks new then you’ll be able to tell if it’s bad.
That's why I like my old school Chevrolet trucks I have an 86 K5 military blazer 6.2 diesel th400 and 3.08s and a 78 K10 350 SM465 NP205 4.10s can't beat the old school mechanical engineering .

Hi Scotty can you please do an episode on counterfeit Toyota parts! Thank you
Laugh as much as you can because there is too much corruption going on.
I'll just stick with my 63 dodge dart with a slant 6 and a 3 speed automatic still has the original transmission shifts smooth still.
Great engine and a GREAT torque flite transmission.
Take it to Precision Transmission in Amarillo. They charged me 2 grand to pull, build and install. And they future proof it by using heavy duty party on the areas that take more damage. Best transmission shop ive been to. Took 2 days to get my truck back.
Hey Scotty your new house is beautiful... congrats!
thank you!
@@scottykilmer you have a new house?
Lives above son’s garage....
My chevy fits this description perfectly. Except its an 03'. Just spent the past couple weekends replacing the trans.
scotty I have one of those and just changing one of the lightbulbs is a pain
I have this generation GMC, 170k miles on the 5.3 and she’s still going strong, it’s a hit or miss on this generation.
A bad day for Chevy. First the car wizards video today and now Scotty's video lol
Thanks Scotty! Had my sister find a body shop where she got a fender and bumper pulled straight and headlight assembly installed by the owners kid on a Sunday back when shops were closed Sundays. All for $100 bucks. She went back and gave him a gift certificate for supper, he did a great job and since here truck was paid for, it sure beat the quote she had for nearly $3000 dollars! Great advice.
I have a 2008 1500 with 200,000 miles on it that I’ve used for plowing snow in Minnesota for the last 5 years
Which transmission the 6L60?
@@fil1329 yes
Same 4.8 engine too.
In 2009 I bought a brand new GMC 4x4 SLT. 6.0 liter. Never any transmission problems.
I'm so glad I got my duramax diesel truck with the Allison 6 speed. Now my suburban on the other hand....
Is the suburban trans bad ?? What years if you know
@@cayman9873 I'm not sure but it's probably the same as this one. But it has an easy life, never towed anything with it, my wife just uses it to transport the kids around town. I'm nearing 100k miles so probably should think about selling although gas prices are on the rise...
@@cayman9873 2010 or so GM used a different trans. Went away from 4L60e and went to 6L80e
Fascinating - bad luck. My electrician has tried Chevy, Ford, and Toyota trucks here in CT. He has found that all three have transmission problems in the mountains of CT after 150,000 miles. He decided his best bet is to buy the truck he likes the most, and then just put in a remanufactured transmission after 150,000 to get another 100,000 out of it before replacing it with a new one. Currently he is back on Ford again after his Toyota failed a second time at 223,000 miles.

My cousin has an 07 Silverado with 250k miles on the original transmission and it still works fine.
I know someone with an 06 going in again for the 3rd time with transmission issues - all under warranty thank goodness!
Have an 02 Silverado 1500 with 227k and still runs like a champ
I wonder if Scottys new Neighbor's are happy with the influx of new traffic LOL
I'd welcome the traffic and even advertise for him if he was my neighbor
I had a sensor problem with the transmission in my Hyundai Sonata. The mechanic changed the sensor and the car works great now. The procedure cost about $700.
Laughing is the only thing keeping me sane! Same here Scotty! Same here!
When a clam is not steemed it is usually clammed shut, but when it is steamed, it partially opens up and it resembles a smile.
Will you have the same problem without 4x4?
Hey Scotty the expression is happy as a clam because clams look like they are smiling. You said happy steamed claim. Keep doing what your doing love your videos.
2004 siverado 235000 so far so good. Been serviced every 50000.
Good to hear, I just bought a 2010 with 100,000 for 15,000 grand.

Change the fluids every year. Dont forget diffs, transfer case, etc! Dont be cheap with maintenenace
Should have bought a ford f150 😄

Change fluids every year???
Considering how many different fluids there are in a vehicle, changing them all could run thousands of dollars at a garage. You certainly don't need new coolant every year. Seems a bit extreme to me unless I'm putting a 100K on annually.
Maybe you just like changing fluids and babying your vehicle which is fine with me, I would do mine more often if I had a decent garage to do it in.😄
@@paulcoenen7918 i thrash my sierras and work them hard frequently. I do run a lot of mileage per year & i just change everything myself for a couple hundred $.
Coolant is every 3 years, brake fluid i just top up if i have to, atf & rear diff i do every year. Transfer case and front diff every couple years. Its funny people change their engine oil multiple times a year but never touch their atf, diffs or trans case.
My 4l80e transmission lasted 225,000 miles pulling campers bumper pull and fifthwheel also plowing in the winter. I did put a gm rebuilt transmission. Because the 4l80e has so many updates it made more sense to replace it with new rebuilt
2:39 scotty showing us behind the curtains
I felt an internal problem, and fixed it sitting on the shiter! Now my motor feels pretty good!!!
2:41 Scotty you don’t have an HP computer right ? They can be endless money-pits
They really can. Dell or build your own is better. However, I would even saying building your own PC can be a money pit especially when there's some small thing you don't like about it.
Bought a brand new hp laptop and it was quick first time I loaded into it the next day it took 5 mins to turn on and load into my account never buying an hp again
On my 2nd HP. My first lasted over a decade with zero issues. Only updated because it couldn't run Windows 10 and Microsoft stopped updating Windows 7.
Code purple Windows XP🤬
Dell sucks ugly designs and lack of exciting products. I pretty much exclusively buy hp computers and never have issues with them.
My dad has the same truck after 10 yrs and now it’s at 200k miles it has a stabilitrak and abs light (both yellow)
Those GM transmissions are notorious for having speed sensor and solenoid problems.
Haven’t heard much bad out of the 07 to 13 transmissions. My dad has a 2013 with 100k with zero issues.
@@wesleygarrison6248 I can't really say anything about the transmissions on the trucks. I do know about the 4T65E that was on the Pontiac Grand Prix and the Buick Lucerne. It was made to work with the 3.8/3.9 engines and they did have a lot of problems with the sensors and solenoids. Those parts just weren't well made and had to be replaced fairly often.
So glad that you made this video, I was just looking into purchasing this truck.
Texas just hasn't been the same since Scotty left us 🥶🥶🥶

I bought a 2015 Silverado 1500 4x4 from an old retired beekeeper who had it since new until 92000 miles. About 1000 miles down the road cylinder 7 dropped a lifter, now another 2500 miles later the torque converter or trans is toast.
Scotty, Is the Mars rover AWD? Worth buying?
NASA? Gotta be... (wait for it...) a money pit..
@@danadowning2065 lol
My favorite is the Allison 5-speed and 6-speed transmissions that are coupled to Duramax diesels. My ride is a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500, with 332,237 miles and no rebuilds or replacements. The Allison and the engine still perform like new, and fluid is super easy to change, with an external screw on oil filter as well. Wish they were all Allison's on these trucks.
I'm so glad I have a 2008 Allison. Scotty, are you referring to the 6L80E transmission?
Thats what I'm wondering since it's a 1500.....it could be a 6L60.....
@@fil1329 More likely a 4L60E, I haven't seen it in 6 speed.
Did you check the transmission fluid?
Neighbors - Who's that crazy old guy talking to himself?
1978 280Z, the only car I regret selling
Mine was a '69 Dodge Dart Swinger, 340 4-barrel with factory Hurst 4 speed and linkage. Great muscle car..
I'm here early keep them coming scotty !
thank you will do!
There is a good chance there are updated parts if you buy a reman transmission. From many manufacturers, not just GM. A competent and honest trans shop with a builder may or may not install updated parts, like the drums that crack in that 6L80 in the video. It depends on what was available when the build was done.
Now I am going to have to buy a Fiat to make Scotty laugh out loud.
He already laughs at fiat cars.
OMG, you are a blast. Like listening to the Rosanne Rosannadanna of auto mechanics! I subscribed just for the chuckles.
First 👽 Chevy Silverado 💜👀
My 05’ 1500 went for 240k with no trans issues. It run and drove just fine when I finally got rid of it.
I bought a 05 ford taurus from my neighbor for 200 bucks and I've had that car for 5 trouble free years now lol I actually love the thing! A fuckn ford taurus 🤣
@@IJoeAceJRI by not driving it lol
@@SilverShadow02 I've put 40k miles on it? Currently at 153k and I've maintained it and drives great. I thought the vulcans were pretty bullet proof? It's the trans I got to worry about torque converter specifically. Didn't shift too bad before the flush but lucas helps ease my mind ;)
@@IJoeAceJRI a good neighbor is a good friend. I helped him when he needs it and vice versa.
Thanks Scotty!...Well I don’t own a Chevy truck but instead an ‘08 Ford F-150 that’s still going strong with 145,000 miles so you need to make a video on my model, lol also stay safe there in Texas and away from that frigid cold!
Dont buy turbo charged engines. TA DA !!
My 1971 ford truck needed new points ,tripped a trouble code ,hard starting !
Hey Scotty what information services are you using? Can u provide a link in your descriptions? Thank you for all your videos and everything you do, huge fan
I drive a 97 5.7 K1500 Regular cab Stepside with 140,000 miles on it and they sell for more than a 2007.
The best final Year of the GM Trucks was 2006!
Both my grandfather and my dad has owned one. Both reached 300k easy with no issues. Only reason they got rid of it was because they just wanted something new. My family has always been chevy, never had a single issue with any of them.
I'd like to see Scotty show up at Hoovies and just laugh and laugh and laugh...
Best comment 😂😂😂😂
Those 6 speeds go bad all the time. Little tip: just pull the dipstick and if the fluid looks brown/orange, expect the trans to be on its way out. If you change the old fluid out they usually start slipping so if the fluid looks new then you’ll be able to tell if it’s bad.
150k miles doesn't sound like a lot of miles. Holy hell, buy a Ford.
That's why I like my old school Chevrolet trucks I have an 86 K5 military blazer 6.2 diesel th400 and 3.08s and a 78 K10 350 SM465 NP205 4.10s can't beat the old school mechanical engineering .
Wow! What a shame! To spend that kind of money for repairs! I know I can’t afford it!
Good day be something on the sensor inside the transmission. I have had that happen on speed sensors on Caterpillar skid steer loaders.
I mean could they be something on the sensor tip. Lol
First. Thanks Scotty! We cannot thank you enough!
I love buying these type of trucks on the cheap. Like you said most people don’t want to spend 4g’s repairing older trucks
