Yes sir! 2004 Tahoe with 572,000 and still kicking ass! 💪🏿💯🔥

Got me a 99 2 door tahoe 5.7 398k still running.

Verified! My '03 4.8 Chevy Tahoe 337k miles and she's still kickin! American muscle!💪🏼

Facts so many of them still on the road. Dash Cluster might be shot, windows and locks don’t work, and it might be rusted to hell but when you turn that key that engine will start everytime

GMT800 platform is the best platform GM has ever made and will ever make, period.

I got a Tahoe recently. SAME COLOR 😂😂😂😂😂. These things are the GOAT’s of the truck world to me 🤷🏾‍♂️

03 Silverado 4.8L, approaching 300k with original motor and transmission. The best vehicle ever, has only needed maintenance and minor repairs. 🙏🏿

Changing fluid and people also tear up autos because they never turn off overdrive when towing and hauling

I've had my GMC Sierra going on 6yrs and just changed my spark plugs and coil packs last year for the first time since purchasing it. A beautiful, dependable, DIY vehicle!

2004 Yukon Denali FTW, got 270k miles on it and the engine still run and sound great. Looking forward to see your SS Express up and running. Really peak my interest that you decide to go with the LS engine for it. Keep the video coming brother.

With proper maintenance, these chevys are tanks when it comes to the engine. My pops had a 01 Tahoe with the 5.3 and it had k&n intake with axle back mag flows on it and a Diablo tune. He hit red line daily on that sucker and the only parts that eventually went bad was the water pump and the alternator. Tranny started slipping a bit so pops added some oijd of anti slip fix fluid and transmission stoped slipping.

Got an '01 Silverado 4.8L 5 speed. Original engine, original transmission

Delete Dod or buy you a range. I did that to my 2018 gmc sierra and I have 160k miles on it no major issues just basic maintenance 🤞🏽

Bro got a new GMC and the 1st thing I did was. Got the DoD deleted I hate that shit.

This man is saying the truth you still see them on the road running strong till this day ...mine 2004 tahoe LS 5.3 NO PROBLEMS AT 180,000 MILES

Alex is right, my tahoe is at 349k miles, and its still gliding, OEM 95% Of parts, minus a New alternator & belt....Thats all though...The truck is, check your fluids, and with your 1st daily startup, let it run and let it warm up for 10 mins, EVEN DURING THE SUMMER & SPRING time of year.....Keep Trucking

These are My favorite generation GM ever created. I still want a Z71 Tahoe.

I prefer the OBS and wish they would reproduce and sell them again, they are awesome trucks!

Yessirrr I agree I have me a 2003 tahoe 4x4 with about 289,000

My aunt has a 06 I think 5.3 right around 300k miles best year for the Tahoe with that engine

My '04 suburban Z71 was one of the best vehicles I've ever owned out of the 30 plus vehicles I have had. One of the best road trip vehicles ever. I now have a 2001 GMC Sierra with the 8.1 litre gas engine and the Allison transmission as my tow rig and my long distance vehicle is a 2007 Lincoln Town Car.

My 05 suburban has 230k on it, original trans. I did a 20 quart flush and went from Dex 3 to Honda DW-1, shifts flawless. Most people don't know they're compatible and the DW-1 seems to do better. I do a drain and fill every 30k. Pulling trailers et cetera no problem, take care of it and it'll take care of you.

I bought a 99 Silverado soon it didnt shift right . Changed the fluid filter and all the solenoids now she shift perfect . The 4l60 was known for solinoid trouble. Especially the a and b ones .

Happy 4th of July 🎆 Alex!! Work safe and stay cool. You the Man!!!

I had the 2000 Escalade 5.7l. Similar color too! Luv'd that ride, I gave it too my son for his first car and he crashed it and was a total loss!😡

There are 2007 - 2009 GMT900 trucks that did not come with AFM / DOD activated from the factory. If the 8th digit of the VIN is a 2 (L9H) or an 8 (L92) those trucks do not have AFM but still have VVT. After 2009 all GMT900 trucks and following generations have active AFM / DOD. Funny that the vans that used the 5.3s from that generation also do not have active AFM. We have a 2009 Denali with the L9H and it’s a very strong truck. But the GMT800s are legendary vehicles for sure 💪🏻

I have an 02 Tahoe and it has 372,thousand miles and the only thing I changed was the water pump alternator and radiator. And I installed the 2016 Chevy truck rims.

2005 suburban 280 and running strong still😎

Great trucks but had issues with Castech heads for multiple years that would crack and you would mysteriously loose coolant.

99 z71 with 351k burning qt of oil but runs smooth

If only the new Cadillac Escalade were this reliable because they are so nice.

My dad has an 03 Silverado with 360k miles and still going, although she’s starting to have a little bit of lifter tick but still runs and drives no problem with 37-39 psi of oil pressure

Man I had a 96 gmc suburban I miss it so mich wish I still had it . Love the body style

CORRECT BROTHER HAD A 2002 GMC YUKON XL. BOUGHT WITH 161K. SOLD WITH 243K. ONLY HAD ONE SENSOR CHANGED AND MY COMPRESSOR PULLEY WENT OUT ONCE...!

Best platform in America, GMT800.

💯 Agreed from personal experience.

I got my 2001 Yukon, still running quiet and strong after 215k miles and multiple trips across state and a few big moves from house to house. Love this truck. Bullet proof.

I was happy when i found out my 01 Suburban LS doesn't have afm. I'm hoping to keep it on the road as long as possible. Regular oil changes and tuneups go a long way.

One the best trucks ever

I love my 03 Silverado 2500HD. She has been mine for 11 years and has 177k

I have 2012 5.3 with DOD.. And have 350k on it with no problems... At all.. Still factory starter, alternator, and everything in between. I keep the oil fresh wilh only mobil 1.. And it's a champ.. 5.3 gm is the best engine ever made

I 100% approved this message.

Which fluid are you referring to? Engine oil, or transmission fluid? Should I change my transmission fluid before 300k miles? Oh I heard 4L60, so yes you are referring to the transmission fluid.

I have one 2002 Denali and I love it.... I got one with a 226 on it. Lq4 should I change my fluid? It's shifts great. I'm just scared we'll slip after... Once in a very blue moon, after you leave a stop sign it'll rev up and for like a split second and then grab. I don't know if that's the torque converter wearing out or it just needs a fluid change. The fluid is full but it's dark. The guy before me definitely took care of this rig... And I've done a few things to it. Let's just say and I save all the old parts cuz they have potential

Working on 400k on my ‘03 Yukon SLT and I’ve been coast to coast with taters and toast in that thing on 24 inch wheels just rebuilt the transmission last month after damn near 20 years so the transmission isn’t the problem

02 gmc yukon 1500 xl 189,897 my first GM vehicle and I love it

Yes sir had a few 5.3l spin cam bearings but they hardly paid attention to the oil .

I have an 08 Yukon (newer than this one) I’d love to have the previous generation but they’ve all rusted away to nothing where I live. Mine’s pretty crusty but it’s at 330k. These are maybe the best American vehicles (other than the DOD issue)

I had an 03 Yukon, me and wife loved that truck

The trans filters get clogged and cause issues with the shift solenoids. Depending on the situation. It either that or the fluid breaks down leaving limited or no lubrication.

328k on 2002 Tahoe. Got 302k out first transmission. Still has original cold a/c. Factory axles, transfer case. 40 psi idling and 60psi going down the road.

My o5 tahoe hasn’t skipped a beat yet and all engine and transmission is the same as when we bought it years back

Love my 04 Denali.

👍👍👍 right on brother very true and well said

I have a friend who had a 2001 Suburban 2wd. He followed the maintenance schedule in the owners manual, and it was closing in on 500,000 miles with no major repairs or breakdowns. He was in Dallas for a convention and sadly, it was stolen from the hotel parking lot, and I’m sure wound up in a chop shop. He’s pretty sure hotel staff was in on it, too.

My family had a forest green 1998 tahoe. Took the transmission to about 230k, rebuilt engine my mother put off fixing something around 160k. Did a fuel pump, u joint, moved to colorado it didnt like the mountains. Sold it. Moved back to the midwest and have regretted it in the back of my mind ever since

AFM only became available on the silverados/tahoes second half of 2007. Anything before and you’re golden. 02 Yukon XL with the 8.1 with a break in of 200,000 miles. I think I’ll be ok haha.

2007 and up have really gone downhill with these. They look good and drive great for maybe 100k miles or so, but won’t last nearly as long and it’s not uncommon for the newer ones to have complete transmission failure very early in. 06 and older are the only ones I’d go with. Same goes for GM 1/2 ton trucks.

SilverBirch is the color like my 04 chevy avalanche.

3 years ago, my son crashed my 02 yukon I had since 04 ...god I loved that truck! Then I got a 2012 Denali with 72k miles. It's a nice truck, but I still missed my Yukon. 6 months later, I saw a posting in FBM of an 05 blue/greenish suburban z71 with 225k for $2500 in amazing shape....had to get it and glad I did. I parked the Denali, and the suburban is all I drive now lol. Whoever had that suburban took really good care of it cause when I changed the valve cover gaskets, I was amazed by how clean everything inside the engine was!! Body and interior were also taken good care of. Oh yeah.. how much time left do I have to do the dod delete on the Denali before it blows up? Lol it has 88k miles now.

I have a 15 Silverado with the 5.3, just ticked over 220k. The newer cars/trucks can go that far with good maintenance. She is still going strong, am I worried about the AFM? Not really as good maintenance is key. My local mechanic who does my work agrees that I should easily see another 60-70k before I may need to refresh the engine some.

These are the only gm cars I would consider buying. Question how hot is it where you are at? It’s so hot in tx rn.

02 Silverado 5.3ltr with 373k and still purring

PURE GEMS 🎉🎉

Man i need a mechanic like you in Orlando.

Yes sir I have a 1999 1500 Yukon also have a 2002 Yukon LX

Facto.....220000 on a 2001 still smooth!

I love them ❤

99-02 GMT800 Trucks (i believe) truly are Tanks. Pre-AFM (Gen 3 & 4 LS), Simplistic enough not 26 different on board modules, Port Injection, No start-red light-stop nonsense. Did i mention Port Injection already?😉

I tell my customers ALL THE TIME that you will not find a more reliable, easy to repair truck/SUV than the 2000-2006 GM full size trucks. I LOVE them. Easy to work on, easy to maintain, cheap to fix, etc.

I have a 2001 chevrolet suburban and I LOVE IT

Love this guy

Always wanted a GMT800 truck. They look so comfy and classic. Can't swing it with these gas prices tho 🤣

Im with you brother, on everything you daid on this short. Great channel!

That pewter was IT back then, even though my mother had a Yukon in that color.

Vortec gang 😮‍💨😮‍💨every budget LS start art as a vortec engine I assure you.

In 2006, I bought my first new car, which was a 2006 yukon with the 4.8 had it up until 2014 when I traded it in for my new truck, and to this day, I regret trading it in🥺 got it with 7 miles and had 135k and other than 3 batteries and a water pump it was the most reliable car I've ever owned all dealer maintained all fluids changed regularly oil,trans,diff and recommended services

Shoot I love my 2001 GMC Sierra C3 and it's a rare truck 😎😎😎😎

The suburban is long but it's better with the third row. The Tahoe you got no space in the back. Technically it is on the short bed regular cab chassis

08 Silverado 5.3 with 340 thousand miles and still going strong

Still the Real OG's up till this day.

imma buy one soon, 04 z71 5.3. bye bye to my 09 5.3

My 98 Tahoe just laid down on me ! 345,000 miles on it ! They were hard miles !

The diesels too no death.. I mean def fluid

4l60 aren’t bad transmission 4l60e are horrible but with the older 5.3 just about every one I’ve seen with internal problems it miss fires on cylinder 3 and worn out piston rings causes it

I got an 06 z71 and of course it's got a collapsed lifter I had over 330 thousand on my 01 and never had a single problem

What's your advice on a 2012 Chevy Silverado

My 07 1500 crew cab came with the Displacement on demand and it ruined my engine. I baby that truck for the 2 two years I’ve owned it and then my lifters collapsed and I had to replace the engine . It cost me 5800 with a DOD delete so I won’t have the same issues .

So should I change my fluid on my 2004 Yukon with 237,000 miles? Fluid is still red.

Love it THANKS FOR ALL YA DO

I have a an 04 z71 suburban. It’s my work truck and daily. Has a wall of subs in it too. Kind of dumb but whatever. 3rd 4l60. This one’s built. Hope it makes me another 40000

I got a 07 and no problems. Over 200,000 miles. Just regular maintenace.

My Pontiac G8 GT had DoD. I turned it off with a tuner.

Solid vehicles before fuel management came along

90s early 2000 suv were the best

Big bodies on big bodies. Hell yeah!

I have a 2012 Nissan Altima do you have any videos or suggestions on that car?

@Alexthecardoctor I have a question for you. I'm looking into buying a 2010 Cadillac Escalade what is your opinion on those trucks?

Peak car manufacturing era

How often does alex recommend we change the fluid and filters? Should we flush the fluid everytime? Someone told me to change fluid and filters on trans every 4 oil changes. Im sitting at 10k miles since my last trans oil flush and filters on a 08 6.0l
