[@Farmalleric]

Congrats

[@Adventureswithmike1]

Thanks

[@Kevin-z7d4x]

Now my father bought a 79 GMC brand new off the showroom floor for Christmas and he killed it at 750,000 miles. They’re really good trucks.

[@Adventureswithmike1]

Wow, that's amazing It just goes to show you that if you couldn't take care of the vehicle, they should last forever

[@joemaher8147]

Nice truck mike wishing you the best of luck with it now go make some$$$$

[@Adventureswithmike1]

@joemaher8147 yeah, I gotta put this truck to work. Spent a lot of cash, but you know what Next month is it's tax write off season

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

​@@Adventureswithmike1just remember they have a thousand miles break in oil are used to but at thousand miles supposed to get oil changed good truck got a million miles out of my dump truck maintenance is the key take care of it it takes care of you rotors still waiting for rust to build up more money lol I had the same thing with my dump truck ford was ten thousand dollars more for double frame and came with the truck plus many other options good deal only person has to make happy is you Mike thanks for posting your new truck video

[@LamelKendrick]

Good purchase, not a bad price. I hope they did make the adjustments to the transmissions, but knowing GM it's too good to be true. They are known for example having the same lifter issues for like 17 years in their 5.3 engines. The Allsion Transmissions on these are not the true originals, they more or less just paid to slap the Allison name on them. GMC is definitely a pretty trim, it's almost like Lincoln is to Ford. I thought you were going to pay like 80k, you didn't do bad for yourself at all. Hope your streak of gettiing into random accidents and weird weather disasters ends and this truck stays solid for you. I heard the only 6.6 issue is burning oil, hopefully that got fixed in the newer batch

[@Adventureswithmike1]

@LamelKendrick yeah, every truck out there has some issues.Pretty much everything you buy, it's gonna have something. I've heard good things. And I've heard bad things. I know some people who have over a 150000 miles without a single issue. With these trucks motors and trans.. and some turn out to be duds,

[@jasonpeters3228]

With that price difference the GMC was a good buy. And ford beat their newer trucks with an ugly stick since the years earlier. So you probably got the best looking HD truck made for 2025.

[@Adventureswithmike1]

@jasonpeters3228 yeah, I don't like the look on the new Fords. And this is a very good looking truck.The only thing I don't like is those weird mirrors... I have never liked them.Since changed their design years ago..

[@garyeverhart2260]

My 2002 Ford F-150 the damn spark plug blowed up to the third time the second spark plug on at 5.4 at Triton engine the mechanic scared me he said for the third time

[@Adventureswithmike1]

@garyeverhart2260 yeah that was one of the problems on those older engines. But they can be easily fixed for a few 100 bucks. I wouldn't be too worried about it. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to keep making that paper

[@anthonyfletcher4898]

Hey mike is the new truck a gas or diesel and when are you putting all the parts on the new truck tomorrow

[@Adventureswithmike1]

@anthonyfletcher4898 this truck has a 6.6 gas engine 401hp and 464 tq. With a 10 speed transmissto. 3.73 gears.. and tomorrow I'm gonna do as much as I can. The weather's supposed to be crummy, so I'll see what I can get on it

[@anthonyfletcher4898]

@ ok now you have to make all that money from buying the new truck all the parts going on it and the lift gate

[@Adventureswithmike1]

@anthonyfletcher4898 yup. Believe it or notThat's the easy part for me. The hardest part was getting the vehicle to me

[@anthonyfletcher4898]

That truck bed can hold a lot of scrap metal

[@Adventureswithmike1]

@anthonyfletcher4898 yup.. especially when the liftgate is on, it will gain an extra foot of space

[@Colynthesavage]

Dang, I thought you were gonna buy another ford😢😢😢

@@Colynthesavage a lot of people did, but I could not get what I wanted in the configuration that I wanted.. and I was really worried about the aluminum bodies.I don't think they'll stand up for what I do

Congratulations Mike on the new GMC. I had one one time before and a young girl total. It ran right into the side of it but now I gotta give you a joke about GMC though GMC stand for gay man cruising ha ha congratulations once again.

[@Adventureswithmike1]

@@Kevin-z7d4x 😆 🤣 😂 i've never heard that one before

[@ChiefLilly71]

Who’s making the payments? I hate when specing out a vehicle and it makes you upgrade to crap you don’t want. Walked away from a couple deals because of it. Just bought a Jeep JL 2 door and wanted the bare bones, down to roll up windows. Only thing I which it had was power doorlocks.

[@Adventureswithmike1]

Yeah, I hate when they make you get a bunch of c*** that you don't want, which just jack's the overall price of the vehicle up for things you don't want or really care about.. and I will be making the payments. This truck will be put to work and it'll start turning a profit and basically pay itself off in the first year

[@ChiefLilly71]

@ 😎 the payment thing, it’s meant for the people that don’t have anything nice to say.

[@Mack.of.all.trades]

Why no dodge

[@Adventureswithmike1]

I mean, it's a good question, but for what I do, they will not hold up. Plain and simple there reliability and build quality.Is a lot lower than ford and gm everybody, I know that has Dodge Ram. Trucks has nothing but problems, but they still stand behind it.Which baffles me. Yeah, they're nice when they're new, but after a few years, you start to see all the gremlins come out. And dodge owners themselves, they will always say that they drive a cummings and not a dodge. Cause even they're ashamed to say what they drive. And the company has changed hands so many times. At least ford and gm have been consistent

[@LamelKendrick]

@@Adventureswithmike1 Chrysler/dodge/jeep hasn't felt likke a real American vehicle manufacturer in at least 20 years

[@waynejones1239]

Better than a ford

[@wnytrashtrucks]

Dodge is garbage. My brother has a Journey and it has been nothing but problems.

[@Adventureswithmike1]

Yeah, I think that's probably one of the worst Dodge vehicles.

[@LamelKendrick]

not a fair comparison with a heavy duty truck. compare an Acadia or something with a journey. Now believe it or not Dodge heavy duty trucks in recent years have the most bulletproof transmissions out of the big three

[@wnytrashtrucks]

@@LamelKendrick I was not comparing it. I was making a statement.
