Best truck Chevy. Built so far .. capable of 300,000 plus miles ..can tow a house and smoke the tread off brand new tires.. only 10-16mpg but guaranteed to get your job done and take you home safely... getting harder to find these second generation Chevy's ..buy them and hold on to them for as long as you can.. PS. You can also take the wife. Out to dinner in comfort ...
How do you get this thing to do a burnout? My 01 2500hd 6.0 won't because of the torque management in the 4l80e. I can spin them from a stop. And I could get my brother's jeep liberty to do a burnout.
@Red-b1r8i get a shop to check your computer.. it may need to be tweaked .. you can change the throttle response significantly with a quick computer adjustment..
@lanceladue2818 yeah I put some 265/75/r16s on it and now it's about 10% slower than what it was with the 245s that were on it. I want to maybe do a cam and tune. Maybe heads. I was looking at doing a 8.1 swap as well, or maybe a small turbo. I don't want to get rid of the truck and it's my daily so I want to still use 87 and not have reliability issues. So maybe 50 or so more hp and more that that with torque. Edit, will a tune really change the throttle response if it's drive by cable and not drive by wire?
I’ve got an 04 GMC 2500HD 6.0. You’re right, most people think you need a diesel and 800 hp with 9,000 lb ft of torque to tow 2,500 lbs. I’ve towed 10,000 lbs with mine on an 800 mile trip through the Sierra nevadas. It kept up with traffic just fine. I was very impressed. I have no idea why people say these are dogs when towing. Maybe they just have very high, unreasonable expectations.
I read once that people think engines are being hurt if they rev over like 2000rpm, and wanting to just putting the cruise control on while towing a decent load , that never slows down, no matter what terrain comes their way. I mean, sure must be nice to have something that tows that effortlessly, but the COST! good lord the cost of diesel, all of them are brutal for parts, some of the designs are ludicrously bad, not to mention the cost upfront, and this covid pricing for Diesel trucks, guys with rusted out ancient Cummins Rams think they're holding onto a 1 of 20 Hemi Cuda or something, what a joke. 10,000lbs on a trip that long through the mountains is impressive. I have a friend with a higher mileage 04 2500hd Duramax, he just spent crazy money on simple repairs, injectors, pumps, things that on the 6.0 Ls would have cost a few hundred. Thanks for watching and keep on trucking safe!
Pandemic is nuts! a guy sold his 2014 or so Frontier for 2.5k (or so) MORE then he was asking on Kijiji to a dealer, showed up not long after to buy this thing, used car prices are ludicrous!
Just got one of those trucks extended cab 2500hd 6.0 4x4 188,000 miles for two grand so far I like it's going to replace a 1990 f150 two wheel drive regular cab

Man this review makes me want to buy this truck on kijiji
Pandemic is nuts! a guy sold his 2014 or so Frontier for 2.5k (or so) MORE then he was asking on Kijiji to a dealer, showed up not long after to buy this thing, used car prices are ludicrous!
Love these tucks, I drive an 04 lt for work and it tows perfect
Niceeeeee i have a 04 2500 with 258k runs sweet. Good video 👍🏿
Awesome! good value with high mileage like that, thanks for watching and happy truckin!
I have a 2006 Silverado 2500HD 200,000 MILES and running strong
What your gas mileage I have a single cab same truck almost 400 miles in a full tank 26 gallons at $2.70 in Texas
Its 4.20 a gallon here in Calgary, it makes I think 13mpg highway and probably 10 in the city, they're not the best on fuel thats for sure!
Just got one of those trucks extended cab 2500hd 6.0 4x4 188,000 miles for two grand so far I like it's going to replace a 1990 f150 two wheel drive regular cab
@@SuperHddeuce Thats nice!!! I like you had a 90 F150 2wd though, good looking classic there! enjoy the new rig!
I get 12-14 mpg in my 04 6.0 2500 HD
400 miles on a fill up??
Best trucks ever made next to old Toyotas…
What size exhaust do the new body style of that year come in
Can it tow 15000??
Get them small tires off their
