This has been the best video series I've seen, heaps of fun with lots of guys working at once. I'm always suprised this channel doesn't have more subs, It seems like you should have several millon considering the build quality, content & editing skills. Best automotive channel on KZbin in my opinion. Also, Dirt Cinema are legends for letting you guys take over their house and workshop for that long. I'm gonna subscribe to them right now.

[@craigbomer8962]

This takes me back to my old 1992 2500 Suburban. I had to replace my manifolds as well. It did have a 4l80 and a full floating 12 bolt factory geared to 4.10, but it was being motivated by the 190hp TBI 350. That poor truck couldn't hold a slight Ohio incline at 65mph without dropping into 3rd while EMPTY. Loaded was even worse, while getting 11 mpg the whole time. It was a rusted mess that I eventually sold and replaced with a 2001 5.3 Yukon XL that got better fuel mileage and could tow more at the same time. I still see it driving around the town I sold it in almost 5 years later.

Nice truck but what you needed was a 8 Lug 2500, totally different beast in the GMT400 platform of trucks. the 6 Lug 2500 trucks are basically a1500 with a slightly higher GVW, 9.5" 14 bolt rear, bigger rear brakes, 1 extra leaf in the spring pack. The engine, trans, transfercase, front diff., steering and front suspension are all identical to a 1500. The 8 lug 2500 trucks from 1988-2000 have a 10.5" 14 bolt rear, hefty 3" wide leaf spring pack, TH400 or 4L80E trans (1991+), larger diameter torsion bars, bigger front and rear brakes, bigger front hub bearing assemblies, etc. It's just a heavier duty truck all around even the frame.

[@JuiceSpringsteen88]

That's what I was thinking. That "2500" is more of a heavy half ton (1500HD). It's still a great truck, but not what most people would consider a true 3/4 ton.

[@rustypliers74]

Mine is a mix between a 1500 and 2500

Cool build! The same stuff went on my 2001 ram over the years. Muffler, manifolds, overdrive, leafsprings. Then the rust came in and had me replace bed rails, inside frame supports. With these trucks there worth keeping going because everything is in stock at brick and mortar or the hardware isle at a home improvement store.

Awesome Rich Just wondering when it’s going to get a BUS ENGINE! These videos are only EPIC. Never a dull moment. Enjoyed the ‘explaination’ of how you went for buying the ‘support truck’, photos on social media owners posted/comments etc.. swinging the idea that it was a very well ‘fettled’ truck but the trans was on its way out. That’s everytime in my vehicle purchasing experiences… EVERYTIME! Not just a transmission but every other part also.. you almost seem ‘HUMAN’.. but of course that’s just our crazy minds overworking etc. Keep on keeping on this channel is by far the best for project builds in my (usually wrong but not this time) opinion. Best wishes to all involved.. (Don’t under estimate your influence and inspiration for us mere mortals.. it’s life changing for some of us!)

I got a 99' K2500 8 lug 5.7 Vortec 4L80E . Towed my 17' bass boat for for 24 yrs and 288K. #7 cylinder layed down a few days ago-0 psi. Pretty sure its cracked a ring, I think. Proving difficult to diagnose. Doesn't act like a head gasket. Anyway...stuff happens. Good to see Rich keeping this one up, its a nice truck.

Ive been that route except mine was a farm truck with rusty bed and rusted around the edges,i had a early 94 Chevy extended cab short bed Z71 onyx gloss black with the quicksilver center stripe running down the sides and the tailgate, and it had engine issues with the tbi 350 bored 0.40 over the previous owner removed the cat because they bought the wrong exhaust pipe tubing kit for the truck cat flange was bigger, and they welded the cat back exhaust pipe tubing kit directly to the back of the truck downpipes coming back to the y pipe that got cut off and it was a deep tone dual glass pack muffler and heartthrob stainless steel 2.25 inlet and 3 1/2 inch slant cut single wall exhaust tips and when it backfired through the exhaust pipe and tips it was deafening sound like the 12+16 guage double barrel side by side shotgun going off simultaneously LOUD!!! Anyways after all the the maintenance issues that the rebuilt truck didn't get it finally gotten straightened out new fuel pump sending unit assembly from Spectre premium, replacement a team performance tbi distributor O'Reilly Auto parts ignition coil bwd, and the napa 7mm high temp resistant silicone jacket belden ignition wire set and the ac Delco r45ts spark plugs it kind of ran ok, swap in a gm ac Delco ignition control module and it ran Bett but would still snap and backfire when you get into it neighbors hated my truck. ... finally after rebuilding it twice except replaced the injectors and was having a issue with the injector pod leaking pulled out the injectors and realized it was two different injectors on the passenger side was the 5279 a lower lph 305 fuel injector and the right side of the exhaust pipe and tip is the side it usually backfire through,, the dr side had the right 5206 350tbi and the ac Delco fuel pump relay only worked part of the time, they had taken the motor from a 87 Chevy p30 bread truck step van lol and it used the wrong oil pressure sensor switch/fuel pump cutoff switch for the early 94 truck so another reason it was backfiring when I would get into it taking off from the stop sign, and the factory tbi from the 87 the throttle shaft bushings were gone fuel leaked out the bottom of the tbi and so did air lol, so I said screw that and got on marketplace and found someone parting out a relatively lower mileage tbi 350 truck and it had not been messed with so I gave him about $60 and swapped out the entire tbi and tossed it out of the doghouse of the truck on the ground, and then the tps sensor only works right from 1800rpm to half throttle so changed that and it ran good!!! Rhen the replacement transmission from a 1990 Chevy k2500 th700r4/4L60 quit shifting into third gear then lost first,then wouldn't shift at all and I am like nope I am done with this truck and my buddy wanted it anyways, but I only decided that because I was offered the 2000 dodge ram laramie slt quad cab long bed 318 magnum V8 46 RE AT manual shift transfer case lever on the floor gloss black with most of the white pinstripe 1500 4x4...

I bought a 97 k1500 to tow my toy hauling, it had 220000 miles on it but had never been wrecked. I bought a vortec 383 strocker that is smog compliant in CA ( 390 hp / 440 lbs torque) and had the 4l60e built and it made a great tow PU. I end up with about $12,000 in to it however I have 70,000 mi warranty on the motor and 40,000 on the transmission, if I had bought something new I would have had 4 to 5 times that amount in it.

That's a light duty Chebby 2500. The HDs had fender flairs and other options. I had a two tone 1989 2500 Scottsdale light duty 2wd, TH400 and a 4:10 posi that ran flawlessly until I sold the truck with 215k miles. The engine was another story. It lost compression on one cylinder at 75k and the valve stem seals where leaking. It had 70k miles on it when I bought the truck. A GM Goodwrench engine cost $1,6oo in 1996. Besides replacing fan clutches and alternators - I kept a spare in the truck - and non-greaseable lower ball joints which let go when backing out of a gas station, the interior was the most durable I've ever had in a vehicle. The built quality was also better over the square body years except for certain paint clear code pealing issues. The 1996-2002 MY with the Vortec engines were quite an improvement over the gutless TBI engines.

[@Bowtie4me]

Not gonna lie in Qc the GMT400 are still everywhere! even i just sold my 89 Silverado SC LB lowered still running the 5L TBI. some in better shape then other. but they aged better then all the other brand of the same yrs(88-99)

Rich if you are ever in the midwest around June, I think you should try to make it to the Amsoil Ultimate Callout challenge in Indianapolis. The biggest diesel event in the country. ODSS drag racing as well as the UCC challenge itself where competitors drag race, dyno, and sled pull the same truck with a points system to win the championship. As well as a show N shine with 500+ trucks. A lot of very unreal race trucks to see and many other youtube channels you could collaborate with. Check it out!

[@sprint6855]

What you have is a 2500 light duty. Basically a 1500 with 9.5 semi float rear, bigger rear brakes, and heavier rear springs. Was a pretty popular package, lots of them around here. 4L80E was optional, standard with the 6.5 Turbo diesel.

[@sprint6855]

NOTHING gets worse mileage than a ford with a 460!

[@2koolchris291]

My 93 f150’s trans went out on me, the front pump failed and it wouldn’t shift anymore, it’s probably rebuildable because when going downhill the speed built up enough to shift into the remaining gears and overdrive. And as it sits it makes Cavitating pump sounds and will move in reverse and drive. Also I just bought an Arkansas crew cab obs Ford diesel dually from my friend and might rebuild it.

That is a light duty 3/4 ton AKA a heavy half with a 9.5 inch rear end. They did that in the 80s all the way through the early 2000s only down side to them in the 90s they put the 4l60 trans in them.

[@brent3]

Rich is right, the further east you go the more religious of a following these get. We dont care the mileage, we will rebuild a motor and transmission if the frame is still there! Sadly ours dont have frames anymore. Our trucks hit under 200k and theres just nothing left of it anymore. I have had someone approach me, while sitting in a 2500 duramax and ask me what I'd take for it cause it was clean.

That 55 is cool. Same year I was born , so it has to be good.

[@TheCoopMan]

So I guess there are some jurisdictions(or at least there used to be) where it would be harder to register a truck if it was heavy duty rated. So GM's answer in the 90s was to make half ton trucks with heavy duty suspension marked as 2500. They had no higher tow rating and the rear springs were the only thing changed(and possibly the brakes). They also put in lower gearing. They then switched in the 2000s the other way by making 2500s into 1500hd by putting in lower rated rear springs. They stopped after 2003 so I assume they either didn't think it was worth it anymore or the law changed. I personally never would buy a 2500 6 lug(those 4l60s are bad enough on regular half tons, much less one bought with the express purpose of towing and hauling) The rear axles also have a bad habit of grenading on the highway. The 1500hds are perfectly fine though.

[@91CTD]

the 6 LUG 2500's GMT400 trucks all had the 14 bolt 9.5" rear axle vs the 10 bolt 8.5" in the 1500's. The rear brakes are also larger .

[@gregholloway2656]

Absolutely loved my 96 Chevrolet Silverado. I got it new and pulled a big boat a month later and then it ended up in the shop getting a Comp Cam, ProCharger, Holly Injectors, Full MSD Ignition system, Edelbrock Intake Manifold, Trick Flow Heads, True Dual Flow Master exhaust and so on. I miss that truck, it was great, it never let me down and would run with the beat of them. I also never complained when pulling the big Sea Ray 320 boat again either. I’ve thought about but I nice used super cab and doing a frame off restoration and adding a nice ProCharged LS and making it my daily driver because I can work on every part of it easily.

Those 33" meats on the OBS exacerbated the issue of mediocre tranny. TV n KZbin personalities like to toss on big meat n profile cool rims but rarely if ever address the ring n pinion gears. Changing the rpm that the drive train now operates at has a negative domino effect on everything thereafter. Rebuild the tranny: update clutch packs, install proper torque converter to match truck's work load requirements, proper valve body AND regear pumpkins to match change in tire diameter then recalibrate speedo to make new parts play together as friends. I know you know all this, but it gets expensive n you rather spend time money n effort on more fun stuff. We all get it. Keep the good content coming.

Always been my dream for an om606 in my Silverado

[@fastinradfordable]

Even a 1.9 tdi with upgraded injectors and turbo match power/torque of a stock 7.3 power stroke

[@adrianspeeder]

I thought it was that body style that had a 2500 with six lug/semifloat/4L60E or a 2500HD with a 8600lb GVWR, 8 lug/fullfloat/4L80E.

[@user-dy4tc5xi7y]

more gmt400!

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Found a shop to paint and polish the paint while we went back home (free parking). Along with that, it is getting fender flares, new trim, AC fixed and going on power tour. Picking it up on Friday

[@DLHarv]

Not a real chev guy but those old obs girls are loyal for sure. If filthy rich can’t fix it, likely it ain’t broken 💯

[@austindoud273]

You got a 2500 ld(light duty)

[@thef1sh17]

700r4... great, right up until you need them.

[@1961clyde]

I sure hope your going to redue the wiring for the lights ; scotch locks are a SIN

[@connor454bigblock]

It's a heavy half ton that's way it as k2500 on door just means is got a 12bolt not a 10 heavier leaf springs to I believe the only 2 thing not sure but for sure the 2500 only means a heavy half in them 88-98

[@91CTD]

it is a light duty 2500. the only difference between it and the 1500 of the same year is the 2500 6 lug has the 14 bolt rear , bigger rear brakes, and 1 extra leaf in the rear spring pack. I have 2 of them.

[@connor454bigblock]

@@91CTD well mostly right lol I knew it was not much I have had a couple of them myself

[@CZ-kz7ug]

Its funny when you keep a truck long enough you end up doing some jobs twice. And the 2nd time around you do it twice as quick. 😂

[@coreyhalverson2126]

40 year old Apache? I hate to tell you , 40 years ago was 1983 man.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Meant it had been abandoned for 40 years

[@wazza33racer]

The 4L60 is good behind a 2500lb sedan.......not so much behind pick up trucks. Hence the popularity of the 5L80.

[@themechanic4592]

If you know anything about a 4l60 if you’re towing a trailer even if empty always tow it in 3rd

[@keeganpock864]

OM 606 or m57 would be sweet

[@okiegamer9818]

whats the mileage?

[@ianatkinson8464]

😎👍

[@shuttlepilot_]

I wish I had those wheels on my diesel 4x4 van. Wrong lug pattern and I’m only here for the music.

[@jessebasiuk8684]

Lol should have ls swapped it #4 cylinder went down on my 90 scsb and scrapped the whole drivetrain and replaced it from a 2002 sierra and don't regret it at all

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Time was the issue

[@adventureswithedna]

The OBS just couldn't compete with the 55 lol. I don't kno2 ho2 I've watched all these videos and it took me till now to realize the twins are actually twins 😅 🤦‍♂️ they were finally both on camera at the same time wearing different hoodies

[@NotmeGK123]

Yeah there was a few odd ball years where gm ain’t figured it out yet

[@SamOHalloran]

4L60... you know the deal.

[@shanewright6958]

👍👍

[@gregclemson1733]

Watching you guys having a ball rebuilding 0ld school rigs is great love your work . but one thing you guys did WRONG is use them quick connects , here in Australia they are called scotch locks ,, you should be tied to a bumper bar and floged with shoelaces till your dog go moo .. they are the worstest thing to put on a car other than that keep up the great work Ps don't worry too much about the exhaust pipe being bit out of level can't see it from the captain chair

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

I was welding on the 55, so I was not part of the wiring, but I will replace them all when I get home. I HATE those things.

[@gregclemson1733]

@@DEBOSSGARAGE that's a good thing then ,,, it's called doing the Dave do it once do it right ....

[@sagelidik4536]

Ahh the good ole 4LSlippy losing 3rd and 4th I know that all too well🤣3 trannys all went the same way them damn 3-4 clutches

[@treywright63]

What is the name of the twins KZbin channel? Or their names.

[@1one3_Racing]

Blows my mind that you can just drive without a bonnet in America.

[@alexinnewwest1860]

I love Chevy but I’d never have a 700r4/4l60 equipped Chevy as a support vehicle 😬

[@thejunkshop5022]

Its a pre-vortec obs chevy of course its gonna let you down lol need to go carb and vortec top end we'll be a huge difference in gain/ reliability and the 4l60 were odd transmissions that era before they went electric (4l60e)

[@samcooke2742]

There's no truth about the engine here. The L05 isn't a performance motor, but it will run forever at 2K rpm - it's built for truck service. TBI is super-reliable and easy to work on. Moving parts are less stressed than the vortec. Going vortec is a performance move. They should have gone to the 4L80E transmission for towing work. The 350 L05/4L80E pair is an easy 500K miler, but usually the body rots before the drivetrain gives out.

[@thejunkshop5022]

​@@samcooke2742 very true vortec is more performance my personal experience the tbi system seems to be trouble especially is someone touches the harness I usually tell people do a cheap intake swap with a hei dist. And a Holley or Edelbrock for a reliable daily simple and cheap
