Its amazing, so far i also got the quadrunner to run I got from them

Boomers had it good. Yet they call other generations the wasteful ones

Yeah, there's a video of a 1978 F250 4x4 on here being detailed that the old man that bought it drove like 2 times and stuck it in a garage and never touched it again just because he never needed to drive it. Had like 140 miles on it. Unless you're very well off or borderline rich today you don't even think like that. Obviously the ratio between income and truck prices were even more extreme back in the 70s than the 2000s.

Thats a 40k truck new tho lol not cheap better but not cheap

What year is your chevy

I agree with you I helped my mom bought a use jeep liberty from a use care dealership it sits behind her house engine blow up

That sounds like some commie BS Thankfully we live in a free market where if you do your own search for a good truck you might stumble upon a good deal and can make some money if one wants to resell

@@nezarl8374 he got lucky extremely lucky but your not wrong but then again

I appreciate that been testing her, what make is your 95

We're u live that bed rotted out ,i have one just like this one, it was just as clean as this one till some f..k thief stole it an smashed the right side an removed parts of it was able to get it back ,replaced missing parts except the bed there's not that many, all i need is the right side of bed but i can get the hold bed complete i would buy it. Good luck to the gentlemen with his great find.

i bought an 8.1 with 87k on it last year, got it up to 112k now. Finally went and plugged it into a scanner, no stored DTCs nor active ones at 110k on the original spark plugs. By god does it drink fuel but I love it.

@@kevindittoe5820 They're definitely thirsty but she'll pull anything you can reasonably put behind it without much fuss and won't let you down for another 200k miles easy. Those 8.1's were originally marine engines and there was a test where they ran it at 300 hours WOT with only 5 minutes idling every hour for a rest.

@@kevindittoe5820 I'd kill for a low mile pickup with the 5 speed. I've got the 8.1 in my avalanche. I LOVE this truck lol

@@marvnation924 I've got 240k on mine and she runs like a top. Trans is a little weird sometimes but once in a blue moon. Love the 8.1

What a beautiful story it's hard for not to get sentimental about my trucks

Now even I can afford one lol just took me 20 years

@@DannysCam Enjoy it,you deserve it. 🤠🇺🇸

Imagine replacing it with a Tundra twin turbo v6

@@RohanSanjithI don’t get it ?

pre vvt and dod are the best

I can notice the power difference then my 6.0 more tork I drove a dump truck once that had the 8.1 I was impressed ever since I also drove a dump truck with a duramax I was not impressed

I've got 240k on my avalanche 8.1. After a fresh oil change she doesn't use a drop for about 2kish miles. But once it starts getting dirty she starts using it fast. Like a quart a week lol

I like them to I wish my quality was better it's filmed in 1080 but my old computer only let me save it in 720 gonna have to step up my game if I want to be like low buck garage

Thanks brother

I agree

That's awesome

@DannysCam it makes sense over buying what's out there for $20k or a new truck. It's not a daily, but it's definitely useful

I'm trying I ordered a gopro

That action figure is not rarer than a crew cab 8.1 the figure is like 20 bucks on eBay.

Sounds like a good idea

So far I like the power do you to withyours

​@@DannysCamyes, especially the one that is now an 8.8 and has 700 horsepower.

That's exactly what I said.

Thank you brother it's funny I feel rich driving a 21 year old truck

I been looking ever since I drove my buddy's 8.1 02 dump truck it had 6 tons on it and it pulled a trailer with 16k on it with ease made me want one

Id add changing coolant and transmission fluid to that list, coolant becomes corrosive, and oil degrades after time, sitting ten years every fluid actually should be changed diff gear oil and all

I appreciate that

Everyone I've owned I had to replace that handle lol

I like it so far got plans to fix her up more stay tuned

For sure

It's my favorite so far gonna mortgage my house and buy tires

@@DannysCam I just put tires on my truck I know what you mean lol out of the ones in your video I’d definitely keep that of all I almost had one for 3k but ladies son stepped in said now lol it had like 90k miles and not a single imperfection in it

Right now thinking about building a bumper, id like to make it a camping rigg putting a slide in camper maybe

@@DannysCam that'd be a great idea. Would definitely watch

I appreciate it I'm not a good mechanic but some times I get lucky

Tires got Flat spots from sitting you notice it at above 30 mph also tire date codes all say 2010

That's what I was thinking about how much do they run

@@DannysCami got a set for my truck, after powdercoat and doing all the welding it’s probably 2200$

I like the 8.1 better then a duramax I've had a duramax in a work truck nothing but problems

​@DannysCam the 8.1 will be cheaper to run for sure.

30 gallons to fill up lol

He'll yeah

I'll try todo more videos on my chevy trucks currently have 5 in different states of repair haha

@@DannysCam I’m not going to say you have a problem 😂😂 that’s pretty awesome

I've also got an 8.1. Broke that passenger side motor mount cuz of all that torque (just tell yourself that)

Hell yeah

@@DannysCam kzfaq.infoXpAZOdyJviE?feature=share3

Had the Allison . I swear these trucks will take anything on 60-100 roll

How God intended it makes me cry thinking about it

Thanks for a info a avalanche with an 8.1 would be sweet

@@DannysCam yeah it has no problem getting out of its own way.

I appreciate that

@@DannysCam your welcome

Want to buy it haha 8k and it's yours

My daily is a 06 6.0 2500

Your right about that

Helps on gravel

I'm trying I do like them ranch hand style bumpers

Definitely makes some noise when it first starts I love the 8.1 and my truck with 6.0 but I like the 8.1 more

Look at uhaul truck sells there selling off all there 8.1 5500 trucks some are pretty cheap

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you

I put a little Marvin's in it but I'll try lucas

I agree think modern trucks peak with the gmt800

What kind of oil you recommend I run most 15w 40 in all my trucks over 200k miles

@@DannysCam I run 5w30 full synthetic. My brother in law runs the rotella diesel oil in his 8.1. He has 2001 with about 300k on it never been out of the truck another friend also has 04 8.1 he runs the rotella 5 40 also his has almost 370k plus miles never been out of truck either. We all use and tow with them but do regular maintenance. Just check your oil regular to keep up with usage. All of ours use between changes but not excessively. I don’t mind a quart or so max between changes a little at a time. Keeps fresh oil in engine constantly. Doesn’t matter towing or empty just sometimes uses some . Sometimes go 2000 plus miles doesn’t use a drop. Might drive 3 or 4 hrs and use a 1/4 to half a quart. Just check every other fill up.

Image what id do for 20 bucks and half a pack of red 100s

@@DannysCam 😂😂😂 damn bro. Yo i need to see an update to this truck.

This was the whole reason I subbed too!

I have one like that I put a junk yard cluster in it fixed it for about 6 months now my fuel gauge is bad again

I think your right I need to use better editing soft wear it took me 6 days to edit it on windows movie maker

@@DannysCam😮 that’s doesn’t sound like much fun 🤣

@@yourenzyme oh damn it is im blind

I'm keeping her I've put about 50 gallons through hee so far she didn't have much old gas
