how do you like the 5.7 compared to the 5.3 or 6.0?
Are there any newer chevy cars that are safe to buy, honest question. Im looking to buy a good used work car and you know how people price Honda and Toyotas.
I had a '92 that lasted fourteen years without much fuss at all. Best longest lasting vehicle I ever had.
Had?? 😕😢
Wish you still had it.
Had 93 Ford 5.0 in that Jon lasted 20 years by the time I had it lasted for another 5 then I beat her up one summer an blew the head gasket 🤣🤣🤣
How many gearboxes it had to go through?
@@RohanSanjith The only thing that doomed it was the cast iron exhaust manifolds rotted off. The quote to replace them was more than the truck was worth. No issues with the tranny or anything else. No rust, nothing.
@@mrvoyagerm Headers? anyone?... anyone?...
14 years is nothing. how many miles did it have?
That's a sharp Old Chevy Silverado... Chevy like a Rock!!!😂😂😂 Those are amazing pickup trucks heartbeat of America
Bought a 2003 Silverado this year from a retired widow. Paid 10k but it only had 64 thousand miles. Babied, garage kept, 8 ft bed, paint still excellent.
That's a steal if you bought it where it doesn't get salt on the roads!
Those old vortecs are good trucks no cylinder deactivation
I have a 02 we brought in 02 I’m driving now still running a oil leak getting it fix it’s a beauty , I get offers and flag downs all the time 😂😂😂😂
I agree. I have 247 thousand miles on my 97 Silverado. Everything still works, even the transfercase drops into 4 wheel drive with 1 touch of a button.
Are these the 5.7?
@madebydade305ify yah I have the 1st year of the Vortec 5.7 with the spider injection.
I put the upgraded spider in it about 7 years ago. It made a huge difference in power and how smoothly it runs. Other than normal service, that's the only thing that's been done to the engine.
Officially, the 1rst model year of the Silverado was 1999. Before that "Silverado" was a name for a trim package for ck's, surburbans, etc...
I still have my 92' ext cab 5.7l v8 that i bought as my first vehicle in 2001 at the age of 16. It was my only vehicle until 2013 when i picked up a 2004 Honda Accord 4cyl to commute with. It's a 31yr old truck now and in the 22 years I've owned it the only parts i replaced were the...starter, fuel filter, water pump, wiper motors (damn trees dropping sap), radiator hose/cap and shocks. That's it! Other than routine maintenance like oil changes every 5-8k miles and brake pads here and there. Upgraded my exhaust and cat early on and it still passes smog today lol. Beat the hell out of it as a youngster and it took the abuse and kept on going. Best truck ever. It was also the perfect vehicle to learn how to work on yourself. Had offers to sell it when i really needed the money but always found a way to keep it. I'll have this truck forever.
you go guy! that is smart thinking, when you need a truck you got one! and the Accord is a great choice too.
that's beautiful
I have a 92 4.3 has 417000 mi on it and still runs great
Silverado?
@@BaptistJoshuaI thought Silverado & Sierra are the same? 🤔 Same engine size,same looks 🤷🏼 I'm 28 (soon to be 29)
That 97 looks way better than most Chevy pick ups on the road today! It’s soo clean I want it
want to buy mine
All trucks today are ugly looking! Nothing beats the classics
Because the company want you get a problem with too much computer and luxury interior....
My 98 has 375k miles. It's my daily. Best truck ever made
The 5.7?
@@madebydade305ify yessir, the immortal 350.
@@Moondog66602 would you recommend the 5.7 or the 4.3 or 5.3? Love these engines
@@madebydade305ify the 5.7 and 5.3. friend of mine just gave me a 2000 Chevy truck with the 5.3 so I'm getting familiar with it as I get it back up and running.
I meant 4.8/5.3
350k miles on my 99 Escalade 5.7! Been my daily work truck. Transmission just quit on her, But these engines will run forever if maintained!
I have a 94. Bought it in 96 and am the 2nd owner. Is my daily driver. A few years ago, I took it to my buddies body shop and he did a frame off restoratian. Has 249,000 miles on the original engine. And still runs like a clock.
I have a '97 Tahoe LS, bought it in '99. It has 180k miles and I've only ever had to replace the AC system twice and something is going out in it again. Never been much of Chevy fan but absolutely no complaints with the Tahoe mechanically. One of the best generations of any truck built.
Absolutely agree with you Scotty. Today’s Chevy’s have more problems overtime.
My Parents have a 1999 GMC Sonoma. My Mom won't get rid of it because it has hand crank Windows. It has a V6 Engine.
I hate crank windows 😅
I sold my 2001 Sonoma with 252,000 miles on it and it ran like new!
It just used a little oil...
Those 4.3L are bulletproof
@@FrankC-lt7px yes they are!!
Dodge, Ford and Chevrolet with good maintenance were good trucks and cars. Today over compensated upper management hurts these companies.
TRUTH
The UAW forcing over payment for labor is what destroyed the big 3
@@jeremyjeremy8795😂
@@jeremyjeremy8795Well, it didn't help. The main culprit was mismanagement. But yeah, combined with expensive pension plans, there was the one-two punch combination that knocked out the big 3.
@jeremyjeremy8795 Union contracts renegotiated years ago. Gone are the days of $48 dollars a hour with medical insurance figured in. Pensions gone forever. Today measly 401Ks. Try again. Honda, Toyota, Nissan etc are all comparably priced to American automobiles. Bad inefficient overpaid upper management is to blame. Auto workers are making a average of $17 HR to $26Hr. Far less than 37 years ago.
I had that same truck 97 K1500 z71. I loved that thing. Didn’t have to do anything except change the belt and change the oil.
I sold my newer truck and went back to a 1998 K3500. Ditched the 454 and swapped in a 12 valve Cummins. Best, most dependable truck I've ever owned. Plan to keep it forever.
Just bought a 98 chev for my first vehicle ever. It’s been sooooo good to me
Yep have 2 1992 chevys and still running.
My old 95 c1500 was my first truck and I miss it. Ram like a dream
Got me a ‘85 suburban 3 months ago and paid $1400 for it. I was super hesitant but it’s been my daily and I have no complaints on it. Got the carbureted 350ci and I already put 5k miles on it. Holding up like it’s not even 38 years old
A square body suburban is one of my dream cars. For some reason I just love suburbans. I have a cammed 2005 suburban Z71 that I absolutely love.
Suburban is a cool motor! I have a quadrajet 350 in front if a 700r4 in my 69 longbed. Simple, powerful and bullet proof! 💪
Mine’s a ‘90. Still ticks like the fine timepiece she is!
That thing is clean as hail! Props to the owner.
My grandfather bought an 04 silverado wit the 4.8 v8 and I was able to get it after he passed away a few years ago and boy tht truck still runs like a champ. I put a cold air intake and replaced the power steering pump since it went out and has had no problems since.
That truck looks pretty clean. Owner took great care of it.
I’ve had my ‘97 for 24 year. It is bullet proof😃
I love my 94 Sierra C1500 Stepside, I got it from the original owner and she has 93k original miles on it. TBI 350 and she runs strong with no problems at all.
Had a 05’ Silverado 2500HD thing was bulletproof and pulled when I needed it! It was no slouch either 😮💨
'93 454 ex cab k2500 cold beast. Timing chain went, got replaced after bending all short push rods, push rods got replaced and she started right up. Runs like a top 300,000 miles.
I still have my 66 C-20 and 77 Silverado
I've got a '00 Silverado k2500 (6.0) with 380k miles and a '99 GMC k2500 (7.4l) suburban with 180k.
I plan on having them for the next 20 years as well
Second owner on both
I just bought a 96 suburban with 138k on it had to spend 1200 bucks to replace plenum gaskets ..but it really is a great running motor and the transmission is velvet smooth .that's why rolls Royce and Bentley used the same transmission..
If you got the 4L60 and the fluid looks dirty leave it alone, learned one the hard way.
Why not do it yourself..
@@richsweeney1115 had no place to do it and it's my sole vehicle at the moment I needed it fixed now....
I have a 2017 Silverado 5.3 1500. 230,000 kilometers on. Change oil every 5000k, changed all fluids including brakes and coolant. Still drives well. Two issues. Starter and pulse wipers
My 96 turned me into a mechanic. Fuel pump, rear main seal, brake booster, power steering pump, water pump and radiator. And about 2 dozen other things in the year i owned it.
I don't have an OBS but my NBS has over 400k on it and i drive it every single day and back and forth to Houston on the weekends.
I have a 92 stepside short bed 2wd with 64k original miles and no rust at all I live in the rust belt. My brother has a 96 SB 2wd with 64k miles , was a clean truck too but we are doing a frame off restore now. Almost done. Great generation of trucks.
I’ve got a 03 Silverado with 300,000 on original engine and second transmission. I’ve replaced the alternator,fuel pump. Still runs like a champ.
You’re absolutely right with the saying they don’t make them like they used to. My first car was a 1978 Dodge diplomat with the three 18 in.³ engine before I finally got rid of it. 10 years later it had over 2,000,000 miles on it. of course the normal we tear stuff had to be replaced starters alternators, etc. etc. have the transmission rebuilt twice rear end new gears but other than that ran like a charm. And it’s always I enjoy your videos.

Lol
I like the intro. Flip down that tailgate and there is Scotty
😅😅😅❤❤❤
I know this is about Chevy. But when I was 10, my dad bought a 68 F 100 new. I'm still driving it. Drove it today.
I have a 2004 Silverado LS 2500HD. I'll never get rid of it. I bought it in Sept. of 2004. It was brand new. It listed for 32,000.00. I bought it for 28,000.00.
you could probably get 28K for it today LOL
I think the 1990’s to the early 2000’s were a good year for trucks because there was just enough electronics to make them reliable and effective
My dad and I still own a ‘68 Chevy c10 and he just sold his ‘97 Chevy. Love Chevy.
Got a 95 Tahoe and it just rolled over to 200k still going strong 💪
My 99 with the 5.3, four speed automatic has over 240,000 and runs like a top.
Haven't even replaced the alternator, or fuel pump.
I have a 2001 2500 heavy duty Silverado, 190,000 miles. I too had to replace the fuel pump and the power steering pump. It runs as good as it did when I bought it...
My '92, 350 with a Venture 5 speed manual was bullet proof
Make Chevy Trucks good again 🇺🇸
Hopefully 2024 will bring that change 🇺🇲
Good luck with that, guys!!!
Damn right 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@starastronomer*2015
Not American! It’s French Swiss!
My grandfather's brother has a 86 or 87 chevy Silverado efi with a 305 great truck and workhorse he hauled a lot of scrap metal with his truck over the years
06 was the last year they made anything good and I love chevy
I have a 1992 Chevrolet Silverado Z71
short bed regular cab with 435,000 miles the same transmission same engine same power steering pump many original parts many replaced parts of course
Dad had a 94. Sold it at 417,000 miles on odometer. Still passed smog. Transmission started to slip.
I got a 2004 Chevy Silverado, great truck. Only needed to replace the starter. Got 205K miles and going.
2002 Silverado still my daily driver! I've replaced,fuel pump. Battery & one alternator.
Yup I have a 2000 GMC with almost 300,000 miles and the only reason it didn't pass the inspection was because the mechanic tech said I needed a new gas cap, 😒 a licence plate light (he didn't see it behind the back plate) and because my tail light had tape covering a crack. This is the 1st time EVER that it didn't pass & Ive had it for 12 yrs, I'm the 3rd owner 😁
I got a 2000 tahoe and ive had it for 18 years and still running strong with 250k miles
My stepdad had an 88 C2500 with the 350 and 700R4 4 speed automatic that when he sold it had over a million miles. He currently has a 97 C1500 with a 350 and whatever 4speed automatic they came with with around 150,000 miles or so which for those trucks its just being broken in. My mom has a 99 Passat with a 1.8T 4 cylinder and automatic that has the option to manually shift. Its quick, has decent mpg, and is somewhat reliable with only around 67,000 miles. I just got a 1996-2000 AWD RAV4 with a 4 cylinder and automatic that I am trying to currently get back on the road. I dont know exactly how many miles are on the odometer but the previous owner put a new transmission and motor in it. So from what i know it is on its second motor and second transmission
Love my 94 GMC stepside sierra GT
My 2018 Silverado 1500 4x4 is actually a really good truck, I change the oil every 5000 miles, I’m almost at 50000 miles, soon I’ll be doing the Coolant fluid flush on it, then it’ll be good to go for several thousands of miles before needing any other major maintenance done on it.
Absolutely. I love the GMT400’s. I can’t leave them. That’s what I still run.
My 1996 GMC Sierra is still going
My 03 has 190,000 miles. Only had to replace the water pump, fuel pump and upstream 02 sensors so far.
My family has a 95 with a 454. Still rolling on!
ohhh the fuel sucking monster, all 10 mpg, must be worth it.
Use to have one. She was a beast no problem what so ever. Just like scotty said fuel pump and power steering. ❤
I agree ! I drive a 97 C2500 with 220,000 miles
I own a 2002 and it still runs great after over 300,000 miles.
You sure know how to make an entrance Scotty !
Also. Keep the oil to the frame and body. If you want keep the rust away. That's the case here in Atlanta canada for sure
Old Chevy truck like a rock
i’m about to pick up a 99 gmc C1500 with the same engine, it’s got 242,000 but it sounds and runs good
Yep I'm hanging on to my 95. K1500 5.7L I use it all the time and when I replace Parts I try to put the best I can find on it cuz I just wanted to last
96 Tahoe pushing 400,000 miles still going strong
I drive a 1995 Chevy C1500 1/2 ton extended cab with a manual transmission. I drive this truck by choice I don't drive it because I'm forced to. I could drive a brand new Dodge Cummins mega ram if I choose to I choose this truck because it's cheap to work on has all the power I need and if I choose to I could drive to Barstow California or Nome Alaska from Texas and not even worried about taking pliers cuz I know it's not going to break down! I believe from 1987 to 1998 was the height of Chevys engineering and manufacturing. It is all going downhill since then I wouldn't have brand new Chevy pickup if he gave the damn thing to me!
I got a 95 , 350 , love that truck !
Scotty the comical mechanic .... He takes various car parts on stage , tells customer, dealership and manufacturing stories ... It's educational and gives wrinkles of laughter 😅
Mine was a 1988 with a V6 5 speed manual transmission and I got 300k miles out of the truck I only replaced the bed cause I crashed on those frozen dfw bridges 😢…and I ended up selling it due to a deadly stroke…I sure do know what señor Scotty is talking bout that’s a shame that such beautiful trucks are not reliable anymore I don’t know what GM is thinking about 😡🤬
*REMINDER* :
Turn off overdrive when towing
Had a 98 with a 350. Over 300k miles and ran perfect when I traded in.
How about the small Blazer? I had a 96 LT with all the toys. Love that Vortex V6 never had a problem. Change the oil every 6,000 miles with GM oil filter and Mobil 1 oil. Change the trans filter and fluid ever 30,000 . I sold that Blazer with 350,000 miles. Because of some minor rust issues and the y-pipe bolts rusted and pipe split at the y part could not replace it. I missed that truck. I personally believe Chevy trucks from 92-99 where the best. The news ones today are all computers and sensors and built quality control issues. They look great and that's it. Thanks Scotty!!! 🇺🇸🐻🇺🇸
Those dont sound like real reasons to sell it....you cut the bolts..cut the pipe id tku have to...and put a new one in..
Know several people that have over 300k mike's they are still running strong.
Thank you Scotty for all the info you provided...
My 94 chevy silverado 1500 5.7 runs very well even after over 130,000 miles 😊
Actual model called "Silverado" didn't come out till model year 99. Prior to that,,"Silverado" was just a trim package name. Your pickup is C/K..
I put a half a million miles on my 97 Chevy. The 350 engine was the best engine Chevrolet ever made.o
My grandmother had a 1999 Chevy Tahoe and it was mine for a years I wish I would have kept it now but I like the look those old trucks I'm going to try to buy another one
Note just Chevy pickups, all cars even Japanese cars have gone down in quality while increasing in costs.
It’s government regulations
I own a 2001 tahoe with 200,567mi no problems just maintaining like you should.
My 02 sierra with the 4.8 l has 247k on it and still runs great.
Got a 90 2500 only new car i ever bought still rocking in 2023 with 215000 rock with the best forget the rest
Dodge also used to make a much better truck than nowadays. I still have my 1984 Dodge W100 4x4 with a 318 motor and that thing is bulletproof.
I have '02 burb no repairs ever, runs perfect.
1981 c10 with original straight six with 564,354 miles replaced starter once and few other cheap parts
1985 Chevrolet Silverado was my favorite, I loved that truck.
My 1981 Carbed Silverado still starts faster then everything in the yard just needs a clean out lol
I love my 2019 Impala Premier with the 3.6L V-6. I can get over 30mpg on the highway, despite having a V-6 and a full-size car.
I've got a 96 and it is still going strong. It doesn't use any oil and runs cool on the hottest days,which where i live can be over 110. Mine sounds better than that one,but it could use paint and a new grill,that grill is shiny.
The exact same truck 😂 is exactly what I have , still runs like a champ
I have a 95 with the 5.7l. Wouldn't get rid of it for nothing.
Best full size trucks ever
I have the 04 GMC extended cab long box 8.1 Allison combo. Its been my hauler for about 10 years, and so far I have replaced the ignition switch.
I have a 2000 Silverado with 4.8 v8 twin turbo cam valves valve seats guy deck resurfaced forged crank and rods
Definitely love my 1998 454 2500 suburban, all my other gmt400 rusted in half
That is nice and clean. It is all about how you maintain and take care of them and of course the state you live in Im right in the middle of the “rust belt” if that was in my are it would be a nice old rust box
