Very impressive! Is that on the original engine and transmission? What brand of oil do you like?

@Fabius Maximus best way is to run it stock, I've got 220K on my 05, nothing but preventative maintenance. Oil changes, fluids etc.. I'm sitting on a salvage rebuilt title, original motor and transmission, runs strong, amazing trucks.

@Fabius Maximus I should have included this in my original reply. You can reliably make around 4-450 HP with an iron block 5.3, but the 4l60e doesn't respond well to too much horsepower, it starts to crap out around 600, but the motor is one of the most well built, best engineered engines I've ever had to work on, tons of room in the engine bay, super simple, and super reliable

Darksoul_57 my 06 is at 298k but a while back i got a new engine

I have a 2000 extended with 230k

This killed me haha that oil pressure sensor is impossible to get to

funktron4 someone bought the extra and not the crew. Sheesh

dam thats small tho.

@@hemir0y369 unless your 6’4 and weigh 280 plus it does the job fine, it’s no luxury reclining front seat but that’s not the point as your trying to have a usable rear seat while not losing bed length or increasing wheel base. The 6 foot 6 bed makes a huge difference in what you can put in the bed and how

Very nice, low mileage!!

What shocks did you go with?

agree...most cant figure that out.

Kevin Jaskowick what kind of oil?

2nd What kind of oil?

thats hard to believe. im in ashtabula. its a rust hell hole

No rush and you live in Ohio wow. Ohio loves to use extra salt on the roads, everything is rusty here

i just did this...melling 292hv pump. it increased my pressure....thats all...and it was $120 pump.

Oil pick up tube o ring is a common problem also

Thanks buddy! Man that sounds like quite a build, you need to make a KZfaq!

lifter knock on startup is a healthy GM thing. if your engine doesnt do it and its a GM engine then you better sell that vehhicle cuz numerous people who had no ticking resulted in a blown engine soon after

Now that’s a low mileage truck! Really these are overall solid trucks, this was just a fun video to make! I didn’t know that about the speakers on these models... does yours have the Bose speakers?

Dustin T no they are an aftermarket from walmart i believe. They came with the truck when I bought it about 5 yrs ago.

My 99 Sierra has 122000 miles. Still runs strong. Only has the 3rd door on passage side.

Hi, the thing that I read about the speakers is that sometimes water can run down the inside of the door and corrode the connection. I didn't have that problem, my stock speakers just fell apart and I replaced them with some Pioneers.

I’ve heard of this as well, good advice!

David Dinsmore it’s the window seals

Good info, thanks for the tip buddy!

or a quart of atf.

I’ve heard about this before! It’s amazing how that can sound like it’s coming from the engine

imgur.com/a/eHYU6 Also, get a new double dinn LCD replacement screen. Cuz we ain't barbarians.

VERY slick truck man! I like the headlights. I probably would have eventually swapped the unit, but I have sold this truck since and got a 2014 High Country. Be sure to check it out buddy!

Hey buddy! It was an FM Transmitter. Honestly if I could do it again I would get the Roav by Anker. Much better quality, you would be much happier with it.

Hmmm, mine was consistent. I did have this issue on an s10, turned out to be a ground connection. The blinker would blink too fast

Sounds like a great deal buddy!

My friends 04 2500hd had a little over 4,700 lbs in the bed. Dead serious

You said it was pretty bullet proof ? Is it a Armor bank truck ? Or a military service truck ? Or a Law and Orders police officers truck ?

Original transmission?

Same.. 2003 with 202k miles . I've replaced the alternator, battery, and starter... original motor and still going strong

For the year(s) they did do a decent job. Growing up that’s what I always rode in was the extended cab, and I never had much complaint

That is a SWEET sounding truck! Man I really like the wood steering wheel, good mod 👍

That’s a good pickup!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check this stuff out

Nice! That’s the reason I got this truck, I loved the color

Haha I know the feeling man! I wish I would have kept this truck, I ended up with a ‘14 High Country. I wish I would have kept this for my secondary rig, it was a solid clean truck for the year.

It's not the same engine. 2007 classic5.3 have the L33 engine

Yeah, rust is cancer on these chevys. I didn’t realize it was cheap to replace nowadays, I need to check this out

Dustin T I meant at the time it is not to bad yet to fix it. But for a full set of rockers and cab corners are about 3 grand.

Unfortunately, the rocker panels on these rust from the inside out so replacing the metal is the only option to fix them permanently

What version is it? What did you pay?

Congrats man! That’s really low mileage for one, and I thought mine was low miles! I do have a leveling kit, and a video on it I made awhile back (please excuse the quality, it’s not the best. Still learning KZfaq)

The color is what did it for me. Beautiful green, but mine is a 2005. Sadly, GM doesn't offer that color on its current models.

I bought a crew cab o6 sliverado 1500 lt for 2500 and runs great 118,000 miles only had to change oil pressure sensor

found an '06 man. tranny w/ 67k miles for $6k. Says excellent condition. May be a bit too much $.

it's the heater resistor that causes the problem. Amazon sells the correct one or ask GMC.

Yeah man nothing wrong with that if it’s just you. The passengers can suffer for a short while! 😂

All Chevy small blocks have timing chains. Plugs are pretty accessible.

Yes ! And any Chevy , Ford, And Dodge and Toyota , and Nissan full- size truck with a V-8 engine is expensive and just too high to load up in the back bed , from 2012 to now 2021 and I been driving 1986 Chevy Silverado Non- 4 by 4 to my 1985 Chevy Silverado Blazer V-8 to 1984 POWER Ram 50 small 4 cylinder automatic small truck with a 6 foot half inches bed 4 by 4 automatic , and my Bad automatic transmission of a Dodge Dakota 4 by 4 automatic club cab V-6 automatic truck is my best truck with a 6 foot by half inch bed so I bought a used 2006 Chevy Silverado 4 by 4 automatic squad doors 1500 dark green 5.3 Vortex V8 has more room than my Dodge Dakota Truck and more power . I been searching for a 8 foot long bed and regular 4 doors Truck with a right height bed , and a automatic 4 by 4 .But there is no truck cost below $ 10.000 for me to buy so I went with a used Chevy truck for $ 11.000 . 178.000 miles on it.

Oh yeah I have a 6 foot long half inch bed truck , no luck finding a 8 foot long bed for that price below $ 10.000 .

I have a 2003 with 200k miles ... don't experience that

Wish I could do the same!

Just bought 04 Silverado and have that lifter tick as well . Kinda annoying but oh well , only paid $3900 and 230,000 kms , needs some tlc and some tires but it make great truck for hunting and fishing , what do ya do when living on pension and have limited income , box is mint and undercoated , once I do over the front end with some new Ball Joints , tie rods and pitman and idler arms to tighten it up , Damm thing is smooth ridding and comfortable , so I'll deal with it's quirks and live with it

Crew cab is more room to carry more junk!

THAT TICK COMES FROM A STOPPED UP OIL GALLEY ON THE PCV VALVE SIDE AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY RUIN THE ENGINE! QUICK FIX IS TO CHANGE THE VALVE COVERS!!!!

X2 on the o ring

Thanks! Appreciate the comment. I work hard to take care of it

Azeem Ali TV thanks!

Holy cow, all the more reason to get rid of it early!

cant you find junkyard silverados and swap em out? its body rust not frame rust so its not as serious

4k for rocker replacement , was the guy High or what , Rock Auto has them in stock and someone with good welding skills to put them on , I did mine and coated them with Real Truck Bed Liner , not rocker guard that will rot them out again , sprayed two coats of primer , after sanding down the fill and welds , then 4-6 coats of Bed Liner , nice and solid , plus the crap gets washed off after day out fishing , it's about looking after your shitt ! ! !

Someone in my area charges $60 a cab corner not including the parts. 2 cab corners were under $50 online. 4k is moronic to ever even give as a quote

he's a time traveler

Marshall Law you don’t buy a truck for mpg unless your buying a diesel

How's the motor and transmission? Any major problems

@@Jaystonishing sorry it took so long to see this. The truck now has 232k miles on it. The motor has the classic Chevy tick but other than that still runs strong, the transmission shifts smoothly and I’ve never had a problem out of it as of yet. I’m not gentle with her but I do keep up with maintenance. The only problems the truck has is a bipolar air conditioning and the interior needs to be redone but that’s pretty common.

Rough country leveling kit

That’s crazy! Makes me wonder if it’s the same truck... I sold this one to a guy in Harrison AR

Dustin T nah it isn’t I got it from my dads buddy and he owned it since it was brand new but that would be crazy

Hey I just bought a 2006 Chevy Silverado 5.3 V-8 Vortex 1500 4 doors Squad doors , Dark Green , 6' half inch bed truck , with a 4 by 4 automatic , with a Automatic Transmission , 178.000 miles on it from Andy Yeager in Harrison Arkansas in May maybe 2017 . Could that be you ? It had 2 Camouflage Deers stickers on the back window of my truck .

The only thing that is different is that I don't have a covered up front hump plastic storage space , all I have is just a 2 cups holders mounts attached to the front bench seat , nothing else is in front of the cups holders just a half carpet hump and the seats are gray fabrics original , floors are black carpet , only 1 CD loading , and Am/ Fm Bose Automatic Stereo and RDS and XM , Automatic Equalization sounds . Automatic temperature control Equalization . Automatic headlights night and day off and on . Including manual non- auto lights button , automatic Trac 4 by 4 buttons , boosters trailers power button on the automatic shifter stick to speed up power when pulling trailer .
