[@YoungMrBlue]

Gotta love those early 2000’s Silverados And the Tahoe

[@davidespinoza7322]

Nice truck mines just hit 200K had to rebuild the transmission at 185K.. runs like new !!! Super reliable hope to get it to 300K !!

[@povnelson2019]

Nice we just got a 1997 GMC Sierra with 275K miles runs strong 💪 it’s a crazy good truck I can’t wait to make a video on it

I’m driving the truck now lol basically made it my daily. We’re in the process of smogging it. Ca smog is crazy these days.

[@jmn1238]

Did you change the transmission fluid regularly? I am at 160k and never changed but wondering if I should

[@davidmariscal5135]

@@jmn1238 I changed it every 50K

260K+ on my 2004 with 4.8L. I think I need to change the oil pick up ring - other than that, just basic maintenance. Good truck

[@kenfigueroa425]

I like that wood on the instrument cluster bezel trim 👍🏼 and I agree these trucks are really reliable maintaining them well, my 04 4.8 RCSB has 174k miles and is running flawless I’ve replaced spark plugs, wires, valve covers and gaskets, oil pressure sensor, water pump, thermostat and housing, belt tensioners and idler pulley, belts, alternator, serviced transmission (fluid, pan gasket, filter), differential serviced and now it’s pretty much flawless.

[@MisterMr1]

At 16 I bought my first truck an 04 5.3L 1500 I still have it after 7 years with 230k

[@Sususjskskkkakaj]

How long it take you to save up to buy it?

[@MisterMr1]

@ 4 years

@@MisterMr1 god 😂 was all that grid worth it? At the end

[@davidiverson4072]

I've got a 05 crew cab, same exact color as this one. 137K. Gonna keep it for along time. It's not my daily driver so miles will stay low. Lives in my garage when not in use. Perfect interior. 5.3 detail clean under the hood.

[@JesusTorres-bw3bn]

Awesome video, but maybe you could’ve removed the the background music

[@povnelson2019]

Yeah I’m still new to KZbin lol in the learning process. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for the tip 👍

144 k on mine...have taken pretty good care. Headline needs replaced.but no problems. No electric windows ac so cool no electric seats....just a good truck...

[@povnelson2019]

Yeah these trucks are awesome 👏. And with all the cool custom parts there making these truck will never go out of style.

[@ivanbarajas5471]

All it need is a trokiando decal in the rear window and you'll be all set!

[@povnelson2019]

My brothers has one on his Single Cab lol 😂

[@heroknaderi]

Definitely agree. I enjoyed it. Suggestion for another video like this. How reliable is the 1988 ford mustang lx hatchback 2.3L

[@chino4096]

I’m lookin to buy one of these soon, so far the feed back I’m getting is the v8 seems to be the better/more reliable buy

[@SethBoiardee]

189k on mine, that old 5.7 still runs strong as ever. Don’t think I’m ever gonna get rid of her

[@povnelson2019]

Yeah bro keep it these are classic trucks now. They don’t build them like this anymore lol

[@SethBoiardee]

@@povnelson2019 Oh yeah, absolutely. Also, I meant to say 5.3 lol

[@trevornewton9687]

bro please make more videos like these with driving pov too 🔥

[@johnfrank3642]

I bought a 2000 GMC with 170,000 miles on it 1500 four-wheel-drive same motor you have which is a good motor only thing I have to do is ahead a head gasket going bad so I had them both replaced rather not been a good truck and drive it that much but it’s a nice truck I love it same color as yours I found aluminum camper top to put on it and they’re hard to find truck looks

[@buzztrucker]

I have a 2000 5.3 Z71 4x4 Extended Cab and I've clocked 217k on mine. Very reliable trucks. The engines are solid I still have original tranny though I've heard people going through a couple at over 200k. Probably I need to do a CV axle on passenger side soon on mine. The electronics are crap for AC Delco. I think I need a new PCM.

[@NI99ABALLS1]

500k on my 05 LS crew cab only break problem is the gauge cluster

[@MiguelOjedaJr]

great video's!

[@johnfrank3642]

Those dashboard Zay always seem to hold up pretty good in these trucks are brothers got a 2004 he bought brand new my dashboard looks like brand new itself

[@starshine1828]

I'm looking at an 05 with under 100k on it. very tempting

256.k on my 03 nice and run like new

[@MarcKemp-s4q]

Not today but someday maybe. Maintenance needs to be done on whatever you buy. The thing I see with most people who don't get considerable miles is they try to reinvent the wheel. The engineers knew what they were doing. People ignore the EGR valve and stuff like that or even remove them thinking they're going to make 10-15 more HP and it's just not true. If a vehicle came with EGR it's going to run better and last longer and have more power and mileage if that gets fixed. I've never had an EGR plug up and I read about it all the time. But when mine goes bad I replace it instead of ignoring it and then allowing it to plug up. Without it the system will retard the timing and it'll run like crap and get worse mileage and possibly even ping and you're losing efficiency and power. But people remove them thinking the system is the problem when the problem is just ignoring the maintenance. They steal zero horsepower until they're neglected. Everything happens behind the butterfly, not before. So it's actually a net gain.

O5 Silverado rebuilt transmission and keeps on going

[@zanecampbell711]

Have a 04 5.3 with only 46k miles. With care I imagine this thing can go up to 300k
