The Mercedes 0m647
REGULARLY GOES 1MILLION
GOES 500K BEFORE IT EVEN BREAKS IN!
PTPSUV Thx for an informative video Brook sure has some time/miles in those trucks. He sure hit the nail on the head about knowing your equipments capabilities (owners manaul) and driving within those while constantly monitoring and adapting driving to road and weather conditions.
Bill Dennis thanks!
When they showed the coolant overflow res it was all black. That truck(big red) has either a bad head gasket or a problem with egr cooler. So, I wouldn't say it hasn't had any serious problems. Then again... million plus miles, can't complain there! Also idk how he's getting that kind of fuel efficiency from that dually... I have the same truck only not a dually and it's a three quarter ton not a one ton and I get fifteen to sixteen mpg empty. Oh and mine is the lly not lbz or whichever he said. This is interesting stuff indeed!
Scotty Kilmer just had a system error.
LMAO.
Scotty is plotting to off this guy as we speak. He’s a overly biased nut job lol.
What do called Japanese car lovers have to say about this?
Scotty Kilmer wants people to buy Fords because he's a mechanic and Fords keep mechanics in business.
arent these HDs?? he said theyll last. BUT Tundra and Taco has alrdy had the 1mil++ miles back then. little late
when he said "read the owners manual, the engineers put a lot of time and effort into that" all the engineers just stood up and celebrated being recognized once
Damn straight!
My dad was an electrical engineer for tva. ALOT of the things he said we're above my Alabama brain however my shop is wired to perfection!
Some manuals are so thoughtful
These are the kind of people who should should have input on new truck development. Great job
Thanks. And trust me GM engineers are watching this video and taking notes.
Kayvan Claudio - absolutely agree...
@@Pickuptrucktalk Yeah, to figure out what to change so this Doesn't happen very often lol.
Why doesn't GM just hire him? Maybe for once hire somebody who knows product.
Craigslist one month later: 39,000 mile one owner with minimal rust!
😂
And it would pass off for that too unless they saw this video
$25,000 firm
Lol
@@brandonrides8953 in 2022 after Corona virus 40k firm on price
I wouldn’t care about rust if the truck drove me 1,000,000 miles
Good point!
Just move to place you don’t have to worry about rust
Frank Latin rust can come from anything
Boyyy Atreus I can tell you iv never had a car rust on me before
When a truck is only 5 years old with 1million miles on it rust would be the least of the problems.
GM needs to give this man a brand new truck. I've seen where Toyota has done it. So they can tear down the truck to check wear items
I'd like to see them do that as well.
@@Pickuptrucktalk Well sorry to say but General Motors is General motors might cancel that engine platform
@@jorgesalinas128 that's one of their best selling features for the working world and they just did a bigger upgrade to the Duramax in 2017 than they did in all the previous versions from 01-16 put together. I highly doubt it's going away anytime soon.
Gm doesnt care
Jay Wiebe GM was the first to come out saying they are doing away with diesels. Obama had that lady become head of GM and she’s a big earth person.
I personally know Brook. I think it is hilarious to see people comment about his driving style being like "grandpa." Folks thinking that won't know that he pushed his '76 Malibu, '88 Beretta GT, '93 ZX 11 and BMW race driver harder than any of those vehicles have EVER been pushed in any setting. You are interviewing a professional driver, backed by being a professional driving instructor, who could make many of the doubters cry if he got them behind the wheel. He also just happens to be the smartest guy I know who has cracked the code for his business. Great interview - you should talk to him again.
This video is the best commercial GM could ever hope for.
LOL. I hadn't thought of it that way. You are right! Thanks for watching.
That gentleman seems very knowledgeable and intelligent. I personally enjoyed the video!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Didnt he say he had the valves adjusted? Its at 3:10 so Im not sure what thats about.
@@chriswalker5729 Yea, rather have them looked at
@@chriswalker5729 duramax have adjustable solid valve lifters.
People are crapping on him for driving “like there’s an egg on the gas pedal.” That’s how I got my truck to do 3 MPG more than the highway rating, without making other road users angry
Am I the only one who thinks that it’d be cool to own a million mile truck. I love Big Red!
That's exactly what I was thinking!
I like big red too a baby seeing some Road ain't it
My mom is from Missouri and hauls campers also. Her 2009 GMC will hit 1,000,000 in the next couple months. Basically same story except I replaced her trans at 799k, but hers still has the OEM injectors.
When he said “we’ll get to the front of the frame” I thought it was rotted lol not some minor surface rust. Awesome vehicles and very intelligent
My first car was a 04 cavalier and lemme tell ya. That shit was rotted past the point of being rotted. It literally sagged in the middle but hey. A extra few hundred in a mechanics pockets will pass the inspection.
A lanolin based product will do just fine
It's a adult owned and driven truck he used it what a diesel was intended to do pull not show off and roll coal...
Cory Begay that’s exactly right we have got lots of miles out of our powerstrokes by treating your truck with respect, you can work them hard but treat them with respect and servicing them regularly and not rolling coal everywhere you can get a lot of miles out of your rigs!
@no candy we get t an exhaust probe on our 02 Cummins so pre emissions before they added all the EGR stuff. Runs at around 700-900 cruising 75mph with no load. May swap out the turbo this summer with a bigger 5 inch down pipe for even lower egts. But I'd say that's pretty hot but these 02 Cummins I think have an issue with the rear most cylinder also getting really hot without a coolant crossover though it's usually when your pushing a lot of power or towing a lot of weight.
HERPY DERPEDY just be careful you can’t get to large of a turbo in the dodge trucks. the power band will be way to high in the rpm’s for the turbo to spool up and it will be horrific when you tow a load
Diesels were made to roll coal and run high🤙🏿🤙🏿 if u ain’t rolling high then u ain’t livin
@@lilgusftt567 till you cake your valves and turbo in so much soot
This man knows how to squeeze every drop of efficiency, and longevity, from his equipment. My hero.
He bought big red brand new. I guarantee, after a million miles, that truck has paid for itself 500 times over.
Yeah it ain't just like he just driving with nothing behind him he's pulling camper by half the time and it can't drive 50 miles an hour to do it
Absolutely loved this video ! Im actually a GM technician and we have a local guy with a 15 Silverado that runs campers like this guy, and I've personally done all his maintenance on it ,it's currently at 390k roughly and it just keeps me interested in the longevity of these trucks
Let me know when he hits a million!
May I ask the model and I assume that's miles not km?
Man and I thought I was cool with my all original 01 duramax with 430k on it. Runs great and my daily driver. Pulls everything I need and gets decent fuel milage. You sir are a legend ! Great video !
Thanks for commenting!
haha same mine has 380k, then i saw this vid
My 08 GMC Sierra 1500 has 605k currently and engine and transmission are still going strong
03 1500HD, 365k
Keep it stock gentleman.....that's the key to high mileage long living diesel truck's
My 1995 GMC C2500 with the 454 TBI has 367,450.. on synthetic since day 1, no engine problems, usual wear items. It's my classic truck, have been a Chevy and GMC truck guy my whole life. Maintenance is the key, and don't abuse. Replaced tranny with OEM from GM at 250,000. Great red truck and silver as well...
I've got a 2002 GMC Sierra 4.8 v8 and it runs like a dream. The key is maintenance... I change the oil regularly, and stuff that alot of people dont: transmission fluid every year, coolant every 2 years, and differential fluids.
Hats off to you my friend. An American that’s likely traveled more of Canada than most Canadians. Most Americans refer to Canada as a City or Province - you’ve actually been here. Fantastic.
Thanks! Nice to hear from our northern friends!
Dude.... you are GM’s number one ambassador! The fact that you have two recent GM HD Trucks with combined 1.6M miles is absolutely incredible.
For the GM naysayers that are Ford and Dodge zealots should See this clip. GM should give you a new 2020 as a token of their appreciation.
Agreed, the government is kill manufacturers with emissions. The GM AFM motors are junk
Russ S Cummins ? Junk ? LoL,,,
@Russ S I agree on some points !! Have a good day enjoy your ford,,,,
Just riding Chevys junk arent ya bud?
Give me a new GM or Chevy pickup and I'll sell it I could use the money
"This vehicles never been waxed" My kind of guy!
Yeah, he was pretty proud when he said that.
These machines all have the capability of a long life. Its all on the owner and maintenance
I'm not a GM fan but damn that's impressive! It goes to show what a properly maintained vehicle can do.
And a vehicle that goes 15 under 100% of the time.
@@thehavok4258 and you are a troll
You can hit 1,000,000 in a GM/Chevy if you change the motor, transmission and rear end every 175k miles. Any GM product I've owned wouldn't make it to 200k miles. I take care of my vehicles. Synthetic oil and changed every 3k to 5k miles, fluids changed at regular intervals. GM is garbage. I've spent more $ in repairs on my Chevy truck than all my Fords combined.
ME lol, thats unbelievable. So unbelievable, that you more than certainly made it up. Newer GM vehicles are certainly not the best, but when it comes to the pre 2010s GMs that arent built in Mexico, you cant go wrong and easily last to 300,000+. Thats not even an argument its just a fact lol.
@@Khan-wz4kp lol if you say so. Every GM I've owned never made it past 225k without an engine change and that's a fact so keep trying. Only engine that made it past 300k was the 80's 3.1L MFI V6. Ain't no one around here I know that's had a GM last 250k miles without needing the engine replaced. My made in Lansing, Michigan 99 Blazer 4.3L Vortec V6 didn't even make it to 173k miles without spinning rod bearings. I keep regular maintenance faithfully and oil changed. I use synthetic oil that's supposed to last 20k miles and change it every 5k. 1 Chevy I had cost more in repairs to keep going than all my Fords combined. GM is garbage and that's a non argumentative fact. Lol and almost everyone I know has switched to Ford and some to Dodge. Government Motors - Garbage Motors.
Every time this guy throws out another number, my eyes get bigger. Excellent statistics on what seems to be an excellently maintained truck. I'm beyond impressed
It's shocking how much this mirrors my experience with my 07 OBS LBZ Duramax. First set of injectors just short of 500,000 miles, entire fuel delivery system from sending unit to injectors at just over 600,000. Then at 940,000 it needed injectors again, so I bought my 17.
A million miles..and here I was impressed by my truck hitting 150k and still running like new
I know right? I have the same damn thoughts! LOL.
roxbery25 i call that a win
Had a 2010 Tundra with 220k Miles that ran; and took off like New lol
Hell I have a Honda Accord 2013 brought brand new and put close to that on it 130k and never had a issue or repair! Hell truck should easily reach that well maintained I got Chevy Silverado 2011 with 150k runs like I brought yesterday too!
@@supfoo9221 that's nothing for a yota that's just getting broke in lol
first guy that prob knows nothing about tires but knows from experience about tires... you get most ppl saying heat wears tires, or think highway wears tires... they're wrong.... he's bang on... tires wear when you accelerate, stop, turn etc... "really put work to it" he says... hes absolutely right.
10:32 Everyone with this generation GM is incredibly jealous how your seat fabric/bolster is in immaculate shape after that many miles.
I’ve had mine 13 years with little to no maintenance. This is why I’ll be getting me another Chevy product
When u bought my 2016 Silverado from my 2008 from my 1999 from my 1993 people always ask me why I don't buy Ford or ram.. why? Because Chevy has been good to me,. Same could be said I'm sure about other brands but Chevy did it for me. Why would I chance it with something else?
Bryan E same here bro lol glad u didn’t wanna switch over cuz of bigger screen or softer leather or better trim lol .... your one of the last real men out
So what you are saying is if one takes care of their pickup it will last a long time? Haha. De can be said for anything mechanical. Of course design failures, wear and tear and poor manufacturing can affect any vehicle on the road. I'm curious if you'd get the same result of you had bought a Ram or Toyota. But good for you! Bottom line is people don't take care of their vehicles anymore. The leasing market has instilled poor values.
@@soapbox187 You sound like an angry Ford fan. Don't cry, it will be okay.
Big Mo any veichle u buy and u take care of will last a long time no matter the make and model ... but he got lucky too as well cuz parts will wear and tear and he didn’t have much break down
That's why I got a chevrolet tahoe instead of crossover..
These gm trucks lasts for ever.
Here in saudi Arabia we still see late 70's suburbans and CK working just fine
Wait. You drive a Chevy Tahoe in Saudi Arabia? That’s awesome!
@@Pickuptrucktalk it's very popular truck here alongside gmc Yukon.
The funny part is that gmc sierra out sales the ford f150 in saudi Arabia
Hani Alrefaei GMC= Gay Mans Chevy
John Pierre GM and Ford each sells almost a million a year between their mid-size, fleet, HD and half ton trucks, Ram sells almost 700K with their half ton, HD and work trucks, that may change once they bring back the Dakota.
Lbz with an allison, best gm engine and tranny. Anything else gm won't last that long
A couple of takeaways from this. Dude needs to spend more time at home...and GM isn’t junk. Who would have thought? These are well designed vehicles despite the bad wrap they get from cheap plastic interiors, the occasional clunk in the steering column and the infamous dash cluter. All understandable gripes but given the mileage I’d say who cares. Basic maintenance and proper use will usually get you decades of use and hundreds of thousands of miles from any vehicle. The GMT800 platform was truly GM’s best truck design. They were easy to maintain and they used the same off the shelf parts on every truck an SUV for about 10 years making them very inexpensive to work on. I have a few examples in my fleet well into 200k still going strong.
I actually watched the whole video. Great video. Excellent content. Can't wait to watch Part 2. Do more of these. Congrats to the owner....he is well spoken and essentially used common sense to make his vehicles reach these milestones. GM should take note here and put something together like this online.
Thanks for watching this whole thing! I know it’s long and that’s why I broke it up. I have like an hour and a half of footage. Trying to make it manageable to watch! Part 2 tomorrow. Again, thanks for watching!
Whistlin Diesel Buys this truck “ I swear I’m gonna keep this one nice” 😂
So damn true I hope he keeps that Cummins clean but I doubt it and I felt bad for that last red D max 😂
Yea but I figure it’s just the TH-cam views and the adds is where he makes the money and I believe he made a promise to his dad to keep that one Cummins nice 😂
@whistlindiesel
Only some will get it lmaooo
WD is why I'm buying a Duramax. Dude is the best truck advertiser.
How do you know if someone is an engineer, they’ll tell you!
Alvaro Rangel I dropped out in 11th grade and people ask me all the time what college I attended
Or a doctor
Yet, he drives for a living...
Brady Clark you obviously didn’t watch the entire video.
I can say this because I’m an engineer. (Ironic?) I just think it’s funny how a lot of us engineers always say “I’m an engineer” to justify an action taken. It’s like saying “I’m smart.”
2003 Silverado 4.3 v6 225,000 mile on mine , still going strong . 17 year going going on owning mine , got it used with 11,000 in 2003 .
Got almost 400,000 on my 02 2500HD with 6.0L gas and still going.
This just sold me on buying a Duramax equipped Chevy GMC truck.
Christian O'Brien the biggest thing is when someone is wrong with the truck get it fixed don’t wait till it breaks other things
Look up million mile Cummins...one guy does similar work has multiple Cummins powered from different generations with over 1.5 million...get a dodge
👍🏼Great choice. You won’t be disappointed
There like 500. million mile 7.3 and a ton other ford trucks at a million miles but you dont talk about a brand that does it all the time
@@dannyfast8876 to bad the bodys and trans goes out before a million
I like stories like this. You here how great a vehicle is when they review it right off the lot, but rarely get to see what happens down the road. By the way, my last 3 trucks were all GMC and Chevy with I think 5 total over the last 33 years or so.
These trucks will go the distance for sure. Ive seen multiple duramax engines get checked out at 400k miles and the cross hatch on the cylinder walls looks brand new. GM used good iron
griffin pierce not gm, isuzu used good iron
Gm owns izuzu so it is GM iron
@@joebond2099 like dodge owned Cummins and ford owned international and John Deere! lol
Great segment. Nice to see some good news today. Tundra guy got in and drove but this guy knows his stuff instead and got a million by being smart.
Thanks!
What is Impressive to me is how stock the Lbz is. No cat delete or EGR delete. I’m personally not fan of emissions but like how he said engineers did spend alot of time to make these rigs last . I also like how he said he reads the owners manual.
My 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser is at 410,000. Original transmission and engine and now rebuilds. This guy did a good job taking care of his truck.
That is incredible. I have seen this truck on the chevy truck legends website before. Such an interesting interview you did with the owner Tim! He seems way more knowledgable about trucks than the average owner is. The amount of life he gets out of tires is insane. GM should really put that truck in a museum lol. Great video Tim, really looking forward to part 2!
Thanks!
My 2004.5 LLY crew cab dually I just got a few months ago has 996,764 miles on it. I'm going to start making TH-cam videos on it once it's figured out I'm having trouble with number seven injector I believe it needs replaced at this point
Great. Good luck!
New Fords have the 5.0 oil consumption problem, new rams have the terrible hemi tick, and 90s to early 2000 GM trucks are still on the road!
Congratulations on a great truck you have there!👍 I've never owned a diesel but if I ever do, it will be a Duramax or an old GM Detriot 8.2L. Getting to one million miles with original powertrain has always been my goal with my 2002 GMC 3500 4wd Vortec 8100/Allison. This truck has been the best for my use and with right under 700k miles, it still feels like new. I really wish GM still made this old Big Block. Thanks for the great video and you guys have another great year!
Love chevy’s for this exact reason!! Hold value and keeps going, as long as you take care of it!!
Hold what value maybe a z71 but 2wds don't
Austin Howze lmao who buys a 2wd truck 😂
@@MattMohsOutdoors just saying I see a lot of v8s for 1500
There are actually quite a few Duramax Diesels with about this many, even some with more miles. Seen teardowns on Million Mile Duramaxes and you would think they maybe had 50,000 miles based on the cylinder bores and the bearings.
I just bought a 2006 Silverado 3500 LT DRW EXT Cab 4x4 with 87K miles to full time tow a 14K 5th wheel so this is very encouraging.
Congrats on the new truck!
Can’t beet that LBZ duramax 👍🏻
5.9 cummins sir
Under dog Wrong video...
Yeah you can, but you can't beat that allison though. That's more true
Warren No; I think you are the one that misunderstood. You don’t pick up on sarcasm too easily, do you?
Warren Duramax’s are the best
Great commercial for GM. They ought to give this guy a new truck
Should! He probably bought that new gmc before he hit the million mile mark on the lbz. I'm sure in the future he will and the truck will be adored. Not many duramaxes hit a million.
My 2016 Colorado with the baby Duramax has 50k....not even broke it lol
This video definitely shows with regular maintenance any vehicle will last.
Dam that was a cool video. The guy really knows his stuff. Amazing how he only ajusted the valve once at 500k and drive off the original transmission.
Thanks!
My truck just hit 180,000, hopefully it will make it that far!😂
This is why I love gm, over 1,000,000 miles and original drievetrain!
More impressed with the transmission than the engine. No other transmission can do that.
@Swampy Talking about the transmission, hence why I'm not impressed about the engine.
@Swampy Yeah dude. I don't think you get me. I own a 2001 f250 7.3 that has been rolled back. The actual mileage is 452k adding the 15k I drove the past 3 months. It was oil changed right before I bought it and its seen 3 more since then. The drivetrain is all original I should make a video detailing it a bit more. Before it I drove a 1995 dodge ram 12v cummins for about a year. The auto transmission was swapped out for an nv4500. I'm using lucas oil on it because they no longer make the recommended trans fluid. The synchros are wearing out because of it. I'm fixing to sell it right now. Might buy me an lbz just like this one if my f250 starts having problems, which I doubt it will I'm babying that thing better than my parents babied me. But yeah I'll look up these supposed million mile vehicles you're talking about.
This man is very smart when it comes to taking care of his truck. I on the other hand would probably never see that many miles considering i am into lifting my truck's with oversized tires, however i have a 2004 2500hd 6.0 gas with 300k + on my odometer now granted it's not a diesel but i would not trade for a newer truck, the 2003 / 2006 and 2007 classic body styles are by far my favorites. Kudos to this man and Chevy for i have not heard Dodge or Ford guys ever make this statement. He also bought a newer Chevy.
You know you hear him sometimes like about the Chevy chick I've heard brand new Ford trucks ticking and Dodge
I had a '79 Chevy 4x4 with over 500,000 when I sold it. A Ford 2006 Ford Expedition with 300,000 and a 2008 Ford Expedition with 330,000. Take care of something and it will be there for you.
These are the kind ppl who need to review Any pickup, it doesn’t matter the brand. Talk with these guys who actually use there trucks. I solute you brother, God bless💪💪
Amen!
I'd like to see a high mileage def running diesel
His 2015 has 500k+ miles on it. Tomorrow's episode will be a lot of discussion between the two trucks especially with the Def system. Check back for that one.
His LML is a def using truck and has over 500k
Surely not trouble free tho.. those def systems are a nightmare for cost effective operation and longevity
extremerc76 that’s what I’m curious about. Most people can’t get 200k without something failing.
Brandon Keithley 200k! Hell I couldn’t get 100k out of mine, and dodge wouldn’t honor the warranty on the dpf. I was told there was some sort of def dosing error that never tripped a light and burnt out my dpf, they wanted $3800 for a new one at 65k miles. I deleted and never looked back.
Finally... someone making vids of dudes with high mileage Big 3 trucks! I have seen so many in real life... yet they are never on the internet.
This dude took care of his vehicle. Used it to tow heavy loads all the time. Never replaced the engine or transmission either nor had major work performed (unlike the other recent million mile trucks that didn't tow to get there). Awesome.
Most trucks will do this if you take care of them. No matter the brand. Just have to keep the rust off.
Yeah, I was beginning to think they were just myths about million mile Chevy, Ford, Dodge/Ram trucks as well. Searching on TH-cam, they are no real good videos on them. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. I'll be doing a Ford later this month. Personally, I really like these kinds of stories.
@@Pickuptrucktalk
Well... Thank you. I love these kinds of stories as well. I would have hearted the video if I could have. lol
@@great0789 I'll heart your comment! More to come. Tomorrow's video should be pretty interesting. I took like an hour and a half of footage. Working through it to put it into sizable chunks.
@@Pickuptrucktalk I look forward to it. Thanks!
They have more million mile trucks than Toyota ever thought about. Even back into 90s models tbi engines.
Just come across this video because I just purchased the exact red dually but its an 06 model. It currently has 110,000 miles and im very happy to hear it could have a long life left.
Hatts off to the OWNER OF “CLIFFORD” BIG RED. Great Job Sir
I love the way you did the interview. You did really great!! I felt like you were just asking questions and kinda steering the conversation but the guy had freedom to talk about what he wanted and you were not trying to get him to say this or that.
Thanks!
Ive had 2 duramax drove them up to 200k miles, one had injector issues at 140k but nothing other than that. Had a few powerstokes and nothing but problems, left me stranded multiple times half way across the country
I know where a few Power Stroke all part tell somebody can bring them back alive
This is awesome, I live in Yukon Territory, neighbouring Alaska and I’ve seen -35 to -50 Celsius (same in Fahrenheit past -30 I think) with no windchill each day the last two weeks. And lots every winter. I run an 05 duramax 2500 that’s at 180,000 miles (290,000 km) that has cold air intake and a 5 inch turbo back, just to synthetic rotella and filters at 8k miles and fuel filters at 20k and it’s been great, had to rebuild the diff this year but no issues otherwise. Maintenance is key, especially in extreme conditions like we see a lot here. Really great to see a man that knows the value of maintaining a vehicle and responsible driving. Cool video!
Btw, you might want to edit your comment to remove the EGR delete part. It is against Federal law to modify diesel exhaust emissions.
Not up here in my part of Canada. Different country. But point taken. Shouldn’t attract attention to that fact.
Incredible story and appreciate the technical aspects Brook shared. I would guess that being on the open highway really helps with the longevity of the vehicle and the tires, but his results are just phenomenal! Thanks for sharing this.
Does he have a website or have written any articles? He's an interesting guy and has good technical insights. I have not watched all your videos, but this is the best.
Not that I'm aware of. Pretty knowledgable guy for sure.
This is incredible!! Very inspiring! Great stuff!
Thanks!
Good video, thank you. Also thank you for letting the man use his own words and tell his story.
My father had a 1999 Chevy Silverado 4.6 v6 and it had 368k miles before we sent it to Mexico. Thing had original engine and original transmission. Used to haul wayyy over its limit and still run strong.
Erm 4.3 262 CID (L35)
absolutely amazing and inspirational. if that isnt a commercial for diesel i dont know what is
Can’t beat a DURAMAX💪🏽! Great Video!
Thanks for watching!
@@Pickuptrucktalk LBZ best Duramax ever built in my opinion I still love the 6.0 Powerstroke as well don't blame me the sound is amazing with a side of Stockholm syndrome. I currently have a Titan but I want a 2005-2007 F350 Powerstroke with the King Ranch trim.
Yes you can power stroke was built and is better than duramax without your tax dollars
@@g20xwarx46 don't kid yourself buddy Ford and Dodge had the government Bail them out just as well .I drove a car carrier I was in Michigan when It happened and it was on the news. people representing Ford and representing Dodge flew in on private jets and I think The story goes they was questioned about well if you can afford a private jet what do you need to government to bail you out for? Yes it is sad but about the company I drove for was one of the companies Ford used when they had their drivers going strike or Ford just decided to contract the delivery out. And I've have seen people with powerstrokes and Cummins and talk about the money it cost to own a diesel they're very expensive and they've even put it down if you can't afford to drive a diesel get a gasser and I drove a portable parking lot for 18yrs and trust me the Volvo Peterbilt Freightliner and the Kenworth they're all very expensive when they break they're just a little bit bigger diesel engines. And I know someone personally who has the power stroke I would say he is probably put at least 20,000 into it this year alone.
My '03 CCSB LB7 has been amazing for 20 years. I changed the injectors last year at 153k and that's about it. The LBZ and 6 speed Allison took the Dmax to its pinnacle. Thankfully my truck has been in central Florida since I bought it new. Not a speck of rust anywhere. Being from St. Louis originally, I saw all my dad's trucks rot beyond use in 6 years. None of these stories about GM trucks and especially their diesels surprise me in the least.
Big Red’s front seat looks great.
Should get a small green sticker of a 1 and put it on the odometer.
Hyundai did that for one of their 1 million mile cars, but it was a gold little plaque 1 in front of the odometer
I got a 2005 tahoe Z71 same motor/Trans 300,000.
1. I Don't drive like its a race truck
2. I change every one of my fluids on its required time.
That’s cool, it’s cool to see the trucks being used as long as they do
I love when trucks come on this show that have been all over Canada. From Ontario now living in Nova Scotia so it’s super cool to see
Got a new subscriber, I love hearing trucking stories
Thanks! I really like doing these stories as well. Look for more of them in the future.
Man I just know my next truck is going to a duramax/alison.

Im thinking the same thing
Tony Tunnell you won’t regret buying one. They r great trucks
They’re amazing trucks
Great video, I too have 2007 LBZ Duramax, not quite from new as I didn't want the DPF, now with over 220,000 miles, oil and filer every 10,000 to 15,000 miles with oil sampling, without any issues, starts and drives like a new truck, one of the best trucks your money can buy, just my experience of my Chevy Silverado 2500HD.
Those truck years models built before 2007 were the best that GM built to last ! However the rust is what kills them before their engine dies ⚠️
The duramax doesn’t have a timing chain. The camshaft is gear driven
Connor Travis good move, noisy, but good move
@@xBADNEWS88x its silent
Most Diesels have timing gear drives
Do you have the right truck? Does your truck have duramax diesel? Does it have an Allison transmission? Silverado it’s the right truck from Chevy .The most dependable longest lasting trucks on the road. Ohh like a rock
I’ve got a 2003 Sierra Crew can Duramax with 250,000 miles. It’s been rock solid but cosmetically it’s wearing quite a bit. I also have a 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser 4.7 V8 with 280,000 miles. Hope to get both of them to at least 500k!
Had my lbz for years. Other than general maintenance I had to replace the alternator, batteries and now have to replace the return transmission cooler line (plastic connector). Love my truck!!
Scotty Kilmer punching the air right now
I’ve about decided Scotty Kilmer is full of shit. I’m not even convinced he’s an actual mechanic to be honest.
We need a follow up on this guy every year or so!
I text him here and there.
Thank you, Tim! This was very informative and entertaining!
Thanks for watching!
Just found this channel.
Love this owner operator!
Great video!
Thanks!
I live in Edmonton he is absolutely right about the cold even worse than what he says
I can't even imagine. Holy cow! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Its the damn wind. I'll take the -33c any day over that NW 50kmh and -20c.
GM should give you a new truck and put that one in a museum!!!!!!!! perfect example of maintaining a vehicle
Always enjoy your video's Tim. As a Canadian living in Oshawa I've always leaned towards GMC buy your review of the F150 has me leaning in that direction.
I was absolutely captivated listening to Brooke talk about his experiences driving Bug Red.
Love part 1 & 2 video's .
Think I just met my soul brother. His lifestyle and insights are amazing !
I can't believe they made you pay for a new instrument panel shame on Chevy dealer they should have just given you one
He should sell the old 1
Damn! Half of a million on a 2015, I have my 2015 Sierra HD and I just hit 66k on the same amount of time :)
I've got an 04 1500, I love it, I love these chevys
