No 3k dollar lift kit, no 4k dollar rims, no 1000 dollar monthly payment, no trips to the mall...just a 2500 dollar chevy doing its thing, doing what 4x4 trucks are suppose to do
I probably have commented on this video before, every time I have a few too many beers and get sentimental about Chev trucks I have to watch it again. GM really should use a little of this footage in a commercial. I get misty eyed when I watch it.
Even though I'm a ford guy, that Chevy can do what many other trucks can't. Not saying a ford couldn't match it, but it'd take a pretty good driver to do it. Props to the driver.
Going up a steep incline with several inches of snow over sagebrush on top of loose sand . Some people would call this difficult off-road conditions. In East Idaho, we just call it Saturday.
I used to carry chains for my 2WD. I quit carrying them after I got my 4x4 and haven't needed them yet. I think I will be investing in a set of chains and carry them after watching this. I probably won't need them, but they don't take up that much space, and I'd rather have them and not need them, than need them and not have them.
Chains or Z-Cables are like money in the bank. If you ever need em, you'll be glad you had em. Most people never have house fires, but we all carry fire insurance.
I don't care what your driving, chevy, ford, dodge, that was brutal 4 wheeling and no truck could have made it up that hill side without chains. Bad ass video
Aired down on beadlocks. Limited slip rear lockable front or lockable front and rear your choice. Tsl boggers 12.50/14.50 wide yeah she would of climbed better less throttling and rpm
Take it from another Idaho boy...you damn well better know how to drive and be packing things like tire chains and what not, and have a damn solid 4x4 truck before you go playing around in the Idaho big woods or they may find your remains someday when spring gets around.
I love it I'm the original owner of a 1994 K 1500 Silverado Z71 I've never done anything to the engine or transmission and I now have four hundred forty Thousand Miles and she's running strong I love it
I have a 1993 3/4 ton xtra heavy duty Chevy with a 1968, 327 in it. (300hp) I run 18" tires with chains in the mountains, I only get stuck if I'm bottomed out, and that's not very often. I pull out my winch drive a stake and off I go. It has never left me stranded in 20 years. Love my Chevy.
Who makes the transfer case for this truck? What's the model number? Is the same tcase in another other brand truck? If so do you think their 4x4 will work differently?
@@andrewmorgan5541 new process makes it. Nothing special. What made these trucks do pretty well in snow and mud was the independent front end that doesn’t get hung up like a regular straight axle front end. Also has skid plates that helped it not get hung up. A Limited slip rear end that does pretty good when they are working correctly. Which is a 50/50 shot for the g80 rear end. It would be fun to see another stock full size 4x4 pick up made in 1993-94 trying to do this.
@@seancarraherI've got a 88 GMC K2500 extended cab and I haven't checked to see what rearend it has but I also have a 94 Dodge RAM 2500 with Dana 44s under it and that old GMC rearend housing looks almost twice the size as that Dana 44 is. If you happen to get this and sounds like you have a lot of knowledge do you think this 88 K2500 might have 80s rear-end also?
Omg! Love seeing a Silverado doing its job!! And what's funny is, I also have a Jimmy! Great job guys! My truck is old, but I've had many an offer to sell it. But don't think I ever will. Too much sentimental value. My dad left it to me when he died.
Your truck is as good as the driver, you take care of it and it takes care of you. 03 dodge ram 1500 2wd @220k and still kicking. Had the worst snow/ice storm this past winter and old ram stayed sttaigjt and true.
That's the LAST truck I would want to be in stuck in that weather, Those 90's Chevys had so many early Fuel pump failures, electrical issues, premature alternator failure, Dances gauges in the cluster not reading properly.....350 was a decent engine but the rest of the truck wasn't built well.
Still the most badass off-road video on the lube tube!! You don't need a lift, big tires, or a new truck with all the different traction and crawl control options. Get yourself a 90s z71 4wd and some chains. And also a good driver of course!!
Dont be encouraged to try this. As far as I know there is no Z71 package for the tahoe until 2000 and that came with the 4 door. Yours is a 4WD which is a bit mild version of a Z71@zuruthewolf1184
Mark Melendez The stock LS motor has proven to be capable of 1000 HP something you couldn't do with the old shortblock, about 700 tops. LS is here to stay.
Robert Polkamp Yeah because everyone totally needs their truck to have 1000 hp. I'd take a stock 5.7 Vtec over a stock 5.3 Ls anytime. The Ls is here to stay because it provides better fuel economy, not because of its actual performance.
I owned 3/4 ton Ford, 1/2 ton Ford, 3/4 ton Chevy, 1/2 ton Chevy, 3/4 ton International, International Scout all 4x4. The two best pickups i had for mud and snow was a 66 Bronco with 7.50 16 inch tires and a 59 GMC 1/2 ton with locking front and back differentials and 17 inch tires. I was a full time logger for 36 yrs, where this guy was driving would be a walk in the park compared to some of my logging roads. I always had chains for all four just in case the going got tough. The guy in this video is a good 4x4 driver. Most guys would have kept spinning and hung it up. I also did a lot of 4x4ing on weekends with friends. Nobody could follow my Bronco when i put the spoons on, thats what we called chains.

DOING US PROUD BROTHER! DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT! THEM TRUCKS LIKE IT... #GMT400-FOR LIFE...
the reality is its wasn't the chevy that Made it go up there . it's totally the chains. put them chain s on a dirty Dodge or ford or anything 4x4 with weight in the box it's gonna go. the driver does know what he's doing and knows his truck. good set of chains and a driver is the key
@@justinbrewer2087 yea but pretty much every truck and real SUV of the era had a center lock when in 4lo and LSD in the rear. i'd wager all the LSD's are fully worn out by now anyway and are much closer to open. to support Ernie's theory i have a story. i had a 91 turbo Volvo wagon with a summer and winter set of tires. i thought the summer would be easier to drift in the snow because of the lack of grip. what actually happened is i'd one-tire-fire in a straight line and it wouldn't break loose. i put on the aggressive snow tires and the added grip sent power to both sides and it would instantly break loose like i was locked. what was happening was the inside tire would lose traction (for a fraction of a second) then grab and send power to the outside breaking the whole back end loose and the tires themselves were acting like traction control/electronic LSD. i also experienced this with chains on my tractor. in the Volvo example the snow tires are the chains.
I'm casting a doc about pick-up truck owners ... it's about Americana and how people use their trucks ... their connection with their trucks ... or even how a truck saved their life. I'd love to chat with you and hear more about this story! Please send email to smcnyla at gmail dot com by March 21st, 2018
Very nice work, both by truck and driver! My 01 Z71 hasn't needed chains, yet. But, seeing this, and the freak winter lake effect storms we've had this year, I think I may need to get a set just in case. Where do you get a set of good made chains that are gonna hold up like that anymore?
nicholas neri what do you mean worst comment? If he broke through crust frozen over mud he woulda been fucked. So there for he does not have a stupid comment, you do tho.
90s Chevy Silverados are honestly one of the most reliable pickups ever made! if you have one take care of it and enjoy them because they disappear more and more every year sadly! 1994 wt 280,000 and still going reasonably strong mostly original too!
They don't make em like they used to. Good ole truck doing what they used to do and still hold up. Love to see a modern Chevy do this. It would probably break in half. Or a bunch of sensors would go off and shut it down.
The z71 is a rear 1/4 turn automatic locker, thats why he made it as far as he did, thats what makes it a z71. He actually needs a rebuild on that 1993 rear end thats all.
Chris Conway Not true man if it was a z71 it got gas shocks, scrape plates and a rear G80 lockers. Where you are correct is some non z71 did get lockers
+sammy duran G80's trigger off of tire speed differential. I'm pretty sure that's not an open dif, but if he has a G80, he better pull the cover off and check it because is looks broken to me. It shouldn't release like it is. The ones I've used lock up pretty tight, and I know when they go kaboom! you usually aren't going anywhere after that.
as soon as i saw that road, i knew exactly where this is! my bro got stuck under the same circumstances very near that location. that steep spot in the road is horrible when it is dry
Kevin Velez maybe that should be your testimony to not buy a Ford lol. I've been up worse shit than that in my Dodge without chains and had half the problems. shoulda boughta dodge.
All you guys talking shit and not one of you was there. Videos never do justice. That was not a nice groomed trail, the Chevy did what it was supposed to do and got both vehicles out. Sounds like a win to me.
92clintonr thanks for the comment. this video doesn't do justice at all. most people won't drive that Jeep trail without snow. yet alone go off the trail with several inches of snow over rocks and sage brush. we only did it because we had too.
I used to drive a pickup truck just like that. I miss driving that thing!!! But, our winters (salty roads) took its toll on the frame and I couldn't drive it anymore :( I have a Chevy Tahoe now which I like alot!! Also 4X4.
That Chevy with the change on the tires that was bad ass that truck did not give up and that was some really bad snow glad that everybody made it out okay to

+sammy duran G80's trigger off of tire speed differential. I'm pretty sure that's not an open dif, but if he has a G80, he better pull the cover off and check it because is looks broken to me. It shouldn't release like it is. The ones I've used lock up pretty tight, and I know when they go kaboom! you usually aren't going anywhere after that.
as soon as i saw that road, i knew exactly where this is! my bro got stuck under the same circumstances very near that location. that steep spot in the road is horrible when it is dry
Now that’s s good friend. Good driving
Need a Square Body with a grandma gear 😉
Fishman Fishman actually no because he’s goin up a steep mountain needs way more momentum rather crawl
hell yeah, thats why i bought a chevy!
Snow chains work, used them on two wheel drive cars, amazing.
Heartbeat of America
email your link to Chevy... nice testominal
Testimonial to what, that even with chains a Chevy truck can barely make it through fresh powder to save another shitty GM vehicle?
Jim Garrison wym? it made up there. Even my friend ford 150 92 coundlt make like his does lol.
Kevin Velez
maybe that should be your testimony to not buy a Ford lol. I've been up worse shit than that in my Dodge without chains and had half the problems. shoulda boughta dodge.
All you guys talking shit and not one of you was there. Videos never do justice. That was not a nice groomed trail, the Chevy did what it was supposed to do and got both vehicles out. Sounds like a win to me.
92clintonr thanks for the comment. this video doesn't do justice at all. most people won't drive that Jeep trail without snow. yet alone go off the trail with several inches of snow over rocks and sage brush. we only did it because we had too.
Ahh chains they turn a truck into a little tractor
Chevy makes a great truck, impressive real video. I have chains for my old Power Wagon and wouldn't go on the deep snow without them.
beautiful truck!!
"LIKE A ROCK!!"
Chevy power
That quad probably helped a good bit but man that's a badass truck.
watched this like 30 times, my kind of offroading
Chevrolet better be tossing this guy some coin or I’d be pulling this video down stat lol
good chevy
I used to drive a pickup truck just like that. I miss driving that thing!!! But, our winters (salty roads) took its toll on the frame and I couldn't drive it anymore :(
I have a Chevy Tahoe now which I like alot!! Also 4X4.
That Chevy with the change on the tires that was bad ass that truck did not give up and that was some really bad snow glad that everybody made it out okay to
