Giving an Old Truck New Tech | TruckU | Season 9 | Episode 14

[@deepbluesea1887]

Hey guys I have a 2003 GMC Regency 4x4 crew cab, and I just broke 100k miles. Like your friends Toyota I need to either buy a new truck at $100k of fix mine up. It’s a 1500 what I want to do is hook up a fifth wheel so I’m thinking that I need at least a 2500. However when I went to the camper shop he told me that my vehicle should be able to tow anything on his lot, and he had some 40 foot rigs. I don’t need anything that big, but I’m thinking power might be an issue. Now my truck did come with a lift kit already installed with a tow kit, and the thing I found u usual is that it has 5 leafs. Which I definitely feel driving on the freeway. Now the new gmc 2500 has diesel where as I have gas, but there are things like cams and , I can’t even think of the name but it cost about 6k when I was looking online and the intake that will give my current truck a lot more horse power. But I don’t have the cameras I would need. The new one on the 2020 makes the whole fifth wheel disappear, crazy! Anyway long story short, how would you do a gas 1500 crew cab into a fifth wheel puller and trick it out to look like a 2020. I know it won’t look like a 2020 and frankly I like my body style a lot more. I know I could put new headlights and taillights, and put a bull nose grill on it. Anyway looking for any advise you could give to Pimp my ride! Just kidding. What does Truck you say?

How dare you guys use a chrome socket on a impact gun. You're both grounded!

[@dallanw3089]

He asked what a selfie was at the end lol 😂! This show is not that old is it ?!

[@wyattcheetham8869]

When you say older I'm thinking something that would at least have a carburetor...

[@MacDaddyB83]

That is what I was hoping for when I saw the title. Disappointed!

[@alexnosik9232]

I was hoping for anything at least pre-2000...

[@WBOS72]

Agreed on the carb.

[@brysoncaudle1990]

A week later that guy is like. “Thanks for all the updates guys, dealer gave me a lot more money on my trade in”!

[@wannabeangler]

I'd love to let you use my old 99 ram 1500 with 302K on the dial for a "fixer upper" show!

[@steve4139]

That helper leaf activator looks rigged. There was like 7 washers spacing that thing up.

[@ramren16]

Right it's not practical. No wants or will go under the bed just to flip that garbage looking thing over

[@louindorato6855]

Can you do a video on the 09 Ram 1500 ? When I bought it brand new, it was the top of the line, with a 5.7 hemi . Ty in advance

[@taylorh3930]

Ya old Oka I'm still drive a 98 Z71 Silverado as my daily driver but would love a new Tundra TRD 5.7 Iforce

[@gabrielguzman1545]

I got a 03 model, this upgrades would be great on it

[@_zombie__45]

i doubt that front spacer did much of anything...they still had the truck on the lift at the end lifting it to look higher.

[@JohnJohnson-wu7vg]

2007 is old?

[@matthewjeschke]

They also need the rubber on top of the shock, regardless of having the spacer.

[@matthewjeschke]

If you want a taller ride, or to trailer more weight you really do need to buy a different truck. Those add-on's don't take into account the trucks dynamics. Only the manufacturer has the models to understand the impact of more weight and ride height. It'll never handle correctly or safely. I'd never do the hitch, spring, or height modifications.

[@BentonHart]

Absolutely hideous wheels, and those suspension mods were super chintzy.

[@ASobhi-uc3ih]

The stereo wasn't that bad of install but the leaf activator and hitch were garbage, sorry!

[@ciscogonzalez8653]

My name is Gabe and I was wondering when can you show how to remove Iraq opinion on a 2004 Pontiac Aztec all-wheel drive thank you for your time could you guys help on this I see a lot of videos on a rack of pinion but I don't see one on Pontiac Aztek all-wheel drive so I was just trying to figure what would be the easiest way to replace it cuz it cracked in the middle and I'm not sure how that happened so please give me a comment and thank you guys very much I love you show

[@SashaZvyagin]

It's "rack and pinion", and a Pontiac Aztec is NOT a truck.

[@SashaZvyagin]

Also, there are repair manuals out there for stuff like that.

[@bryanc447]

Those rims😢😩🤨no just no

[@hellyeah2299]

I wish they would stop showing those pesky scenes of working on trucks for ten seconds and focus solely on selling me useless crap for the whole episode.

[@noneofyourbusiness7594]

one ugly truck

[@gamecapturemoments1]

Should have sold it and bought a real truck. Always buy American made.

[@joeblow5807]

Toyota trucks made in Texas.

[@LCNismo]

Ford's made in Mexico and Canada. Dodge made in Mexico and GM made in Mexico and Illinois. tundra made in San Antonio TX.

[@DMD81773]

Ha ha

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Toyota's are made in TX, Nissan in Alabama, unlike the Mexican made GM and Ram trucks mostly......

[@brianbustamante9862]

MuricanSilveradoZ71 Toyota is American made. It’s just a Japanese Company. Ford is American company built in Mexico
