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
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
@@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
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!
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👍
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
@@Govt_cheese903 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.
@@Govt_cheese903 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 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.
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 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
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.
with a clean frame do the rockers right, buy a used drivers side back door. Not the cover up that you usually do for rust. the steel kits cheap and I am sure you can find a local welder to weld them in right then undercoat them and bedline the bottom of the doors and rocker. at that point decide to keep or sell it. Those hold value well .
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’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 😂
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
Keep both of them for some time to see which one will be the most reliable and will be the most economical to use and maintain. Furthermore, a used vehicle may have some issues that will only show themselves after using it for some time.
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.
Kinda bragging, but I've been driving since 1975. I have never run out of gas and I even had a couple of cars the gas gauges didn't work. I've always heard it's not a good idea to run on less than 1/8 tank. Also, being a woman, I didn't like the idea of being stranded somewhere.
lol women do think ahead better! I run out of gas on a monthly basis it seems.....just tryin to save a few buck by going to a cheaper pump or zoning out. and you are right, running a car low on gas strains the fuel pump
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
Im slightly biased towards gas, id personally keep the gas and flip one of your diesels. If you were to keep this one, im assuming its a 5 speed auto and there is a tune kit you can get to turn it into a 6 speed auto
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 could have told you what was wrong when it stopped. You need to change out the fuel assembly under the hood on the passenger side. It's the fuel body that the fuel filter sits on.
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.
The latch on the 3rd door is a problem area. The attach point for the handle is plastic and breaks alot. You should beable to pick up a new door handle at autozone or Amazon . Ive been looking for a metal one myself to fix the problem.
For what you paid for that truck, I'd keep it and sell the gasser. That truck will probably get at least 15 mpg if you drive it right, and it'll probably run forever. It'll also be good to have around if you need to tow something fairly heavy
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
I'd keep the Duramax. This is a pre-2007 diesel, so it does not have to deal with the DPF/DEF issues that the 2007+ diesel trucks do. That has inflated the value of the pre-2007 diesels. About the only issues with these HD GM 4WD's is front suspension problems with the IFS--ball joints, etc.
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
KEEP the diesel (if it makes sense) i just got one myself. these things run great and have proven to hold up good. also, $3000 for a duramax with 200k is great
I gotta tell ya. I have a 6.5 i do my own work on it and i love my dino diesel. I looked into buying a dirtymax but i couldnt sell the 8.1 gasser and get one. (Yet)
Thats a 8,000$ truck at least in MD, We have i think the toughest MVA stuff you must have a title any year, we have a inspection when you buy a vehicle its a whole page that check everything single thing!!!! Ive paid 5,000$ for a truck and needed 3,000$ worth of work for inspection. I just paid 600$ for two year tags,title, taxes getting my new truck tagged then its 210$ every two years for new registration
First rule when you buy a vehicle even after you drive off in that you take it to the gas station and fill all the way up just to be safe And I mean the very first gas station you're going to pass if it has gas or diesel you pull in there and you fill it up LOL

is it the same as new york where you get a bonded title?
Just a bill of sale then? That’s how it is in Alberta but I don’t know how old the vehicle has to be to only need a bill of sale
So you can’t sell it out of VT? I would have checked if it had a lien on it , probably does
I think car titles like state safety inspections are totally unnecessary hindrances created by bureaucrats that burden ordinary folks from owning affordable used cars.
@@jamespn well if there were no titles then anyone can take claim to your car . Doesn’t make sense
You do a lot of towing and complain about your Detroit being too slow. Keep the Duramax. You have the S-10 for more light duty stuff.
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 keep and build up the diesel love them trucks great find
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.
The car wizard just did a video on which diesel truck to buy and which to avoid... the one he said to buy was the one you got!!!
I didn’t even notice you were in a different 2500. Cool
yeah, sold the road trip truck. wanted a lil $$$ and that thing was worth a lot
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 are you going to make a video about it?
can't believe you got rid rid of the GMC pickup truck
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 you keeping the diesel??
Awesome score. A $6k payday is tempting, but I would run it for awhile and see how well it fits into your lifestyle.
Let’s go the Vermont videos are back 🔥
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
3k is great deal! With all the important stuff done.Here in Michigan they are asking 8-10k with 350k on them and far worse rust.
I know people are dumb in the Midwest. I gotta head down south to find a nice cat eye.
I would keep the duramax, it’s a literal tank haha and would make for some good content!!
A great deal for sure. Make it pretty and send it down the road, diesels are expensive to fix and maintain especially with that kind of milage.
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
My Malibu with the 2.4 has 234xxx miles on it it’s a Chevrolet over 200,000 miles is nothing for a diesel that’s just being broke in
Sell the gasser! The diesel is so sick!!
Fuck that, not everything has to constantly be diesel. Diesel can be expensive to repair and put fuel in, there is room for both
Well yeah... it’s just that a 3000 duramax is not something you find every day
@@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
@Jack Hoffman $6000 is still a cheap diesel
@Jack Hoffman 3k is cheap as hell for a diesel, i wouldnt be suprised if theres more wrong
$3k damn keep it that’s a really good beater even then! I did not know you sold your road trip 2500. Sell the gasser! Shit again $3000!
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!
My vote is definitely keep the diesel. It’s practical power-wise as well as fiscally with the better gas mileage.
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👍
Priming those engines is really easy. Especially if you have done it about 15 times in one day.
yeah i appreciate how easy gm made it
I'm not a big Chevy fan but that's a great deal.
What’s wrong with Chevrolet?
@@wesleygarrison6248 because I like Powerstroke
@@harrisonmcgill2307 Ok? That’s doesn’t mean there’s a problem with Chevy, it’s just your personal preference.
That’s not the cheapest. I bought an 2003 lb7, no start, $1500, replaced one injector, runs perfect. But nice truck, $3000 is awesome.
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
I know the struggle California hurts bad. $40 smogs 150-400 for reg, back fees it’s stupid

Still a good deal for a diesel duramax cheapest I've seen for one is $8000
Yeah, but sometimes they have like 400k miles lol and are listed for 6000
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.
I bought my 09 duramax 2500 for 8k
I am more of a Ford guy. But I would keep the Duramax. For the price, is worth it. And a little work and it would be a great truck for years to come.

That is an awesome Truck!
I also recognize that Road at 4:30 as Route 122 In Oakham, MA! Out in my neck of the woods!
Sell it! A Diesel is a rich man's truck. EVERYTHING about it is more expensive.
Then why are diesel Toyota Hilux’s the king of the developing world?
@@Marklin15 Them are a completely different animal your talking simplicity vs complexity LoL
The best years of the duramax. Keep this bad boy!
I bought a 01 chevy 3500 4x4 duramax cclb dually once for 700 bucks. Ran and drove too, just need fuel lines. That was a deal of a lifetime
I know how it feels to run out of diesel in these trucks. I did injectors and an FPR on my uncle's lb7 and we ran out of diesel on the test drive.
it sucks lol. but luckily they are easy to prime
You might NEED to sell the 2500 to keep your duramax running...
Just picked one up for 4 grand. 03 123k km, little more on motor. 6” lift on 37s Needs the rockers as well
I love the GMT 800 platform
No title explains the price I think. Probably would be worth keeping unless you get a new title printed before reselling it.
Dont need a title in vermont
True.
Need a cummins lol. Btw you should maybe do a 5 inch diamond eye exhaust and maybe intake, and something else light....
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.
Keep the diesel sell the gasser
Jeb vs Jeff. There can only be one.
I bought a 2003 ext cab short box 6.6 lb7 duramax for 3k talked the guy way down put 2k into it and now she's a great truck
All those door latches end up going bad eventually on those trucks. Keep the duramax, love the way they cruise down the highway
I just wanted to say that you are one of the few TH-cam channels that always keep me entertained, thanks a lot for uploading!
with a clean frame do the rockers right, buy a used drivers side back door. Not the cover up that you usually do for rust. the steel kits cheap and I am sure you can find a local welder to weld them in right then undercoat them and bedline the bottom of the doors and rocker. at that point decide to keep or sell it. Those hold value well .
Honestly, I’d suggest holding on to the Duramax. You may not need it now, but it’s a great powerful truck to hold on to for later.
big rails duramax.. thats a keeper. I drove a home a heavy 3/4 with 6 liter iron not long ago, that diesel is the model above it. Great price.
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
Since you have the S10, I would definitely keep the Duramax for work and messier situations. Plus a great deal on it.
It's a great work truck and tow rig I think you should keep the duramax
Keep that Duramax man! You'll never complain about not having enough truck again.
I say keep it and sell the gasser. Such a good deal and decent miles on er
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 😂
I bought one with a bale bed for $2,500 had to rebuild the entire front end but it’s been awesome with 260,000 miles

I just bought a 4x4 duramax yesterday for $4,700 runs perfect with 180k miles. I just put new tires on it
I'd keep the Duramax. This is a pre-2007 diesel, so it does not have to deal with the DPF/DEF issues that the 2007+ diesel trucks do. That has inflated the value of the pre-2007 diesels. About the only issues with these HD GM 4WD's is front suspension problems with the IFS--ball joints, etc.
Hi Jeff, not Jebb hahah. Nuce truck, its a keeper, a diesel with tons of torque...oh yeahhh
don't forget the allison trans. that goes with the duramax.
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
Keep it and use it for your long trip towing adventures. Could always reuse the toolbox camper for another project.😊
I have a gmt800 chevy gasser and its been a pretty good truck! I love the look of cateye chevys!
this chevy silverado reminds me of the white chevy silverado you had long ago.
new england repping! from maine my self, im always driving to and from NH for cars only been to vt a couple times i liked it though
Im a Ford guy but the cats eye Chevies wete the last of the good looking Chev.
Dude, you are the best at twist beginnings I was genuinely really anxious of what would happen to you in the truck on the highway! 😂
Keep the duramax for sure, that’s a way better truck than a gasser and $3000 is a steal
It may be a DuraMax but still needs fuel, hey? LOL
I say sell the gasser...diesel will probably yield better mpg long term and since you're towing a lot it makes sense. Can't wait till the next vid!
KEEP the diesel (if it makes sense) i just got one myself. these things run great and have proven to hold up good. also, $3000 for a duramax with 200k is great
Man now I want a Duramax... lol. Love those cat eye pickups. Don't know how you find these trucks so cheap all the time!
I gotta tell ya. I have a 6.5 i do my own work on it and i love my dino diesel. I looked into buying a dirtymax but i couldnt sell the 8.1 gasser and get one. (Yet)
It has a bad tire on it. You can hear it when driving. Seems like a great truck for the money. Resale!
Thats a 8,000$ truck at least in MD, We have i think the toughest MVA stuff you must have a title any year, we have a inspection when you buy a vehicle its a whole page that check everything single thing!!!!

Yeesh thats tough
It a beautiful truck . I just got an 05 dmax for 4000 so you can find them cheap if you keep a sharp eye
That is like no rust compared to a Michigan truck if u could find one with that little rust in Michigan it would go for 10k all day
Can you do a video on repairing the rockers? Maybe some tips and tricks too?
Nice work truck! That's not the 2500 gas from your trip

fix the get rid of all the rust give it some new lights and tail lights and probably get rid of that box on the bed
Can't go wrong with a nice duramax
I think you should keep it and see if you can catch up with my Chevy Tahoe with 328,000 miles! Awesome buy!
Haha i dont think i can beat your tahoe taylor!
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 oh it’s easy you just gotta drive 1,000 miles a month like I do and you will!! LOL
