$7500 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 4X4 - NON-RUNNER / AUCTION BUY

Bought a 2015 chevy Silverado 2500 they didn't know anything at all about this truck even down to how many miles it had on it. So we took a risk on because the price was right.

[@bcjdwbiernfjherwfbowfib]

Dang, a guy that likes trucks on KZbin that actually knows how to work on trucks. Good video man

[@bud212002]

AMEN!!

[@ufold2slow]

I second that! Very entertaining.

[@dilonwilliams1849]

Like for real

[@adamcosta4610]

LOL great comment. We all know who you are talking about

[@DG-ss1gc]

Ha so many channels just spend daddy’s money and host illegal raffles .

[@CavanalK5]

Nice haul. $7500 and it has two grand worth of bumper and step bars. Looking forward to the finished product.

[@Nawaf6820]

Check the if there is any oil in the engine if it's not that's why that noise came

[@markash6514]

Cant wait to see the follow up 😀

[@TheBrady101010]

When your mechanicly inclined you can do anything

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

That is a hell of a deal for that truck no question, even if you had to buy a motor you'd still be getting a hell of a deal. Good job Man.

[@powderriver2424]

It’s hard for me to finally come around to money in the 21st century my first new truck cost me 16K my first used truck cost me 9K. New trucks are now 30K plus, on the cheap side, you purchased this for 7500 not running. I’ve looked for decent used trucks 20K for a 100,000 mile truck 5 years old I cannot lay that kind of cash out knowing that I’m buy a pile of depreciation you however are very smart and now you’ve got a decent truck for a price that is really great.

[@Kholzar]

Westen, I've been wanting a truck for like 4 years now. I found your channel about a week ago and I've watched most of your videos already. By watching them you've made me want a truck even more just wish I had the knowledge on fixing them that you do so I could buy and auction truck!

[@jonguyton1]

2:30 the guy mumbling "At least something works on it" cracked me up.

[@Manlopsan2]

I have discovered your YT channel and it got`s me hooked up! Love your content.

[@fern8974]

Pretty sure the previous owner never took care of it, the 6.0 is a really good engine

[@WestenChamplin]

that was kind of my thought as well.

[@jacknabstedt3222]

That is a beautiful truck in your profile. Chevy is my favorite truck (even though I drive a Honda Accord Lmao)

[@nathanu.2061]

Duck of Death I drive a 96 250 with no 4x4 and a 460 gas hog all the way.

[@jacknabstedt3222]

Nate RhyZ What?

[@nathanu.2061]

Duck of Death nvm lmao I met to say I drive a 1996 f250 with a 460 and no 4 wheel drive and it’s a gas hog

[@javaman2883]

Did it even run long enough to get the oil pumped through the engine? You said it sat for a year or more, so all the oil drained out of everything in that time. I'd pull the oil pan and clean it out, put fresh oil in it, and run it for 30 seconds before calling the engine bad.

[@kwb200]

These lsd based truck engines well any vortec for that matter ticks bad when they sit from the lifters being dry

[@dabofiron.itzsimplicity]

yeah wtf ? that is not a knock

[@XRP2Arkansas]

What the FUDGE?!?! You are like some kind of broke down truck savant. Love the channel and hope you get huge subs soon

[@manleybrittain1296]

Weston, I Have a 2004 Chevy Avalanche 6 liter with 134,000 miles with the same problem and that 2015 Chevy truck you have, seam to be a trend. I was going through your old videos when I found this vid! I love what you do! PS I change my oil like clock work!

[@ThomasJBurke]

Enjoy your tapes, you are very enjoyable to watch and learn!

[@xxxdropdead246]

Really want to see this truck get back on the road great deal man

[@WestenChamplin]

hopefully this weekend. :)

[@michaellodge5456]

How's that truck doing Westen

[@Robert-xp4ii]

Very sweet deal, especially having a good engine to put in it. Maybe have the front seats reupholstered (due to the tear) and you'll be set. That would be sweet to own.

[@bendanise3815]

Nice truck I love your Chanel and can't wait too see more on this truck

[@WestenChamplin]

Appreciate it! Glad you enjoy the channel.

[@bronzechicken4437]

Modern trucks in general aren't strong, the 2018 RAM we have already has a ding in the side and the 2017 it replaced, the tail gate on it was messed up a bit from lumber. I'd motor flush that one before I pulled it though, just for video content.

[@dylanosonitsch563]

I like your channel a-lot i think u do a great job i learn a-lot from your videos you inspire me to make my own channel

[@Brycereigle2000]

New viewer to the channel here and i love the videos man. The 2015 f250 was a great buy and the 7.3 was an even crazier deal. Excited to see the vid of the 2011 chevy too. Keep up the awesome content!

[@kickit59]

Westen it worked out great that you have the motor you need! It will be a nice truck when you get the motor swapped! Looking forward to the next video!

[@kennithjaramillo6408]

Great video man! Love your channel I subbed!

[@mikewhite3123]

One thing about the Chevies, they use actual springs on the hood, so it doesn't give you a concussion when the little struts go out

[@jamesearlcash7725]

Great channel bro. I have a 2011 Silverado 2500 6.0 2wd. I paid 500 cash from my former employer. I needs a front bumper and right side fender and the bed has. Big dent on the right side. Under 150,000 miles. I’m very proud of my truck.

[@mkucera1919]

This was a fleet truck for a gas compressor company

[@michaelpereira2888]

That mileage thingy you did with the tires. 💪🏾

[@mohammad6002]

Maybe alotta wheelspin while offroading that caused the extra thousand miles?

[@howardkunzman6085]

My name is Howard I come across your videos and and you do one heck of a job. I'm an old dog in the grease. Just want to say keep it up.

[@ryan11199]

looks like a oil fields truck. they are all white with that same black grill.

[@mkucera1919]

Judging by the 2 tags on the tailgate, I believe it belonged to CDM which is now USA Conpression. And the there is a bag in the bed of that truck that read "ariel", the manufacturer of gas compressors. So definitely oil field/natural gas.

[@Malakie]

Around here we have many to and no oil fields even close to this area.. We call them bull bars ... great for hitting deer... and cows.

[@jamesrichardson559]

Too good of shape, body, tailgate and drivers seat to be regular oil field. Probably a hot shot parts highway runner.

[@zacharymunoz9638]

mkucera1919 yea use to work with them in west Texas when you’d actually get the chance to buy it before they started coming with service beds

[@RusticShine]

Check the flywheel! I've seen 6 of those 6.0 2500hds have the flywheel explode on them. I thought it was a rod knock but it was the center of the flywheel blowing out

[@brucephelps678]

Sweet video! Love your channel! Keep um comin'...

[@arrealhandymanservice4459]

Does it have the 4cylinder mode? I hear it fails and the lifters get stuck one the mode u have disable it

[@codypro3255]

It's been sitting it might be the top end isn't receiving oil yet you have to wait it out same thing happened to me when I bought a junkyard motor same noise too

[@the_langss]

Thanks for the Video..... I think I am sort of caught up with your 2015 project truck. I sure wish I had the acreage you have at your disposal. I would love to do what your doing.... I know the outcome, but not even have 10k in that truck is just Awesome. I'm really looking forward to your next project.

[@lowbuckpc2940]

I'm guessing a bent rod from the sound of it, But $7500, What a steal! I'd buy that in a NY minute.

[@Anonymous..VQ3.5Lg35]

Didn’t sound like a knock, sounds like a ticking loud noise, but atleast you got the electric system working in truck!

[@ProducerLare]

Nice lookin’ rig!👍 That knock is surprising from a 6.0L 🤔🤔 ...I’d bet it wasn’t very well maintained by the previous owner.. ppl like that are just sad 😢. Good luck with it tho!! Looking forward to more content!! 👍👍

[@WestenChamplin]

Ya I know I was Pretty shocked too I have run across some that have not been taken care of and they still run perfectly the 6.0L Vortec is a tank of a motor

[@liamfisk8420]

Yeah, and it has over 100,000 miles on it, so that doesn’t help.

[@7natcho]

@@WestenChamplin it is a GM problem Sir . Do your homework ! Yes abuse and lack of maintenance is never good but Gm is having major issues with the valvetrane ( LIFTERS ) and oil pumps .

[@jeffscott3160]

@@madbear3512 Isuzu, who makes the Duramax has been building diesel engines for almost as long as Cummins has and is every bit as good as a Cummins. The biggest problem with the Cummins is that it comes wrapped in a piece of shit. Just look at truck sales. Ford and GM outsell Dodge 10 to 1!

[@javierg3671]

6.0 liter had issue with the oil pump , I bought one with oil pressure low took it the dealer an they replaced the oil pump for 1100.00 works great 6 yrs now , this was a great deal

[@AllAboutVehicles]

@Western Champlin Its a lifter, my neighbours six liter lost lifer #2 at 50k miles 2016. Check the lifters the 6.0L, 5.3L, 6.2L all have lifter problems

[@UBBERTANKER]

that is odd the 6.0 usually is problem free and immune to the typical gm v8 issues like the afm lifters beacause it doesnt have afm

[@WestenChamplin]

Yes the 6.0 is, in my opinion, the best gas engine in a truck today its really surprising to me as well

[@jonsmith919]

Westen Champlin Ford Just announced the new 7.3 gas motor for 2020. No joke

Hey, it's Stephen from TFL TRUCKS.

[@GoodOlBoy1976]

Dad had a dodge with a Cummins motor and it spent most of its life in the shop till dad traded it in on a new ford truck. He has had it for 3 years now and now its got a check engine light on it. I told him to buy Chevy but he did not care about my opinion now he is looking to trade it in now. I have a 1995 Chevy and it still runs strong. Yes it has its days and could use some new parts but It gets me were I need to go. I guess everyone has their own favorite kind of trucks. I will always back Chevy because I love them.

[@scottyfixit]

That doesn't sound like bottom end knock..... not sure what exactly though - maybe valve train, timing chain, or something rubbing. Usually bottom end is more of a slower thump at idle. That noise was too fast.... almost like a baseball card in a bicycle spoke sound. Curious what you find out.

[@connorbunch3577]

Maybe all it needs is a new head or something

[@jamesl5010]

Hard to tell on video. But sounds like missing spark plug or broken propeller in water pump

[@robertfinney1810]

Collapsed lifter maybe??

[@t3hm4zn]

I came here to make this comment. That's definitely not a "knock." More of a "tick," like a lifter or other valvetrain issue.

[@FMChimera]

Sounds like lifters. Got two 5.3's doing the same thing right now.

[@mikewhite3123]

My vortec has had a lifter tap since a year old and always clears out when it warms up, and still runs hard...

[@Mr.Beastforpresident]

Please keep us updated!

[@jaredchampagne2752]

How did someone destroy a 2015 pickup especially with a bulletproof 6.0, most of the late 90s and early 2000s 6.0s are still on the road and in good condition running mint, I wanna know what happened to that fuckin thing, maybe flooded?

[@lucab69]

Had same noise happen on a cop car I bought. Just as fast and car still drove, didn’t shake or anything Found out I’d bent a connecting rod and it was the piston hitting against the crankshaft

At 2:20 you said you were going in to warm up, then 2:23 it goes right to the truck rolling off the trailer!! I almost shit myself because I thought it was free-rolling!!!!

I subed just cuz of the kelsho intro music

[@paulpaulie]

Guessing before start up...if it’s one of the multi- cylinder displacement engines....I bet the it needs cam and lifters...the lifters wear the lobes on the cams or sometimes just the lifters

Like the other guys said to fast for a rod knock flex plate bolt or hydrolic lifter drained down from sitting 2 years

[@brinkme1772]

Haven't finished watching yet, but once you got power to the the dash and it said 134kish and the oil sticker said 137kish, my first thought was forgotten or stripped oil plug during the last oil change.

Damn nice truck sucks to see that 6.0 is down good motor I have one and our plow truck has one ,haven’t a single problem with them (knock on wood)

[@flipflopsgarage]

What is the song in the video If you don't mind sharing.

[@Bajaheat]

Sounds more like a lifter issue, run it awhile and it might pump back up

[@rangerst_870]

Bajaheat not to argue, but the engine oil being cold is the best chance of getting a lifter to prime back up. That engine sounded like it was a lifter failure, but it being a DOD and VVT engine, more than likely one of those control solenoids failed and caused the problem. Their best bet to get it up and running is to remove all the lifters and the valley cover, then replace them with stock LS3/7 lifters and drill/tap and plug off the DOD/VVT passages under the valley cover.

[@Bajaheat]

Ed H I thought the 6.0s in the heavy duty’s didn’t have dod or vvt
