Why you should buy an old truck

part 1 of 3. this video explains why u should buy a old pick up truck with 4 wheel dribe

[@stonedzebra420]

I got a 98 ford ranger. I think it looks way more badass than the trucks nowadays.

[@CJColvin]

That old Chevy Silverado looks 10 times better than most of the cars and trucks you see on the road today. I have a 96 Ford F150 with 5.0L Windsor V8 with 203,256 miles on it and it's still going strong.

[@wranglercody8422]

Yeah my truck is in decent shape but thats because i take really good care of it. your 96' sounds like one dependable truck, but then again thats due to the reliability of those old windsor motors. if u take good enough care of it you can get 500,000 miles no problem.

[@CJColvin]

cody morneault Absolutely man I bought the truck back in Wentzville MO back in October of 2015 for $3300 with my own money that I saved up by working two summer jobs,Christmas money, Birthday money, Graduation money, and taking care of my neighbor's dog. The truck is in great shape, it runs good, drives good and has good pick up and go. I get a lot of great compliments on my truck weather I show em the picture of my truck or they see it in person.

[@toddprater14]

cody k1500

[@CJColvin]

Deep in the Backwoods I will man I have 203,955 miles on it and it's still going strong. The only thing I replaced on my truck was the starter but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance and cleaned out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since.

[@brayannexon4613]

No, A 1976 chevy truck looks way better than this.

[@Clones2011]

370000 miles on my 96 k2500 and still going strong 💪🏻🇺🇸

[@wranglercody8422]

370k damn bro, that’s getting your moneys worth out of your truck

[@oregongeo63]

Hey Cody I have a 92 gmc with 116,000+ I bought it with 17,000 in 92 i just had it restored and I could not be happier it's like I just got it all over again!!

[@nathanspringer216]

94 k 1500 here. Loves it. I actually sold a 95 dodge diesel to get my transmission rebuilt after 300k mi. I tow, work, everything in my truck. 3k trans with upgraded belt and clutches.

[@colbybarbour9990]

i have a 2011 gmc sierra, it’s fairly new but still runs strong. i’ve had no issues at all

[@iblackbeard]

I got one! an 89 pickup with 350....LOVE IT!...not 4x4 though but i still love it!

[@yummiermussel5331]

I bought a 2000 suburban suv with 160k miles for work for 2500 bucks. Has more space than a pickup when I told the seats down and can also serve as a long trip vehicle with third row seating. I love my suburban!

[@DubiusTheWolf]

Well now... I'm a Ford guy (please don't hate me for that, Cody xD) but that don't really matter I guess because it's kinda the same with all of the old stuff. It don't matter if it's a Chevy, Ford or Dodge. They're all great, rather cheap, easy + cheap to fix + service, and darn reliable if you take a little care of them! I appreciate your video a lot. Gotta love your attitute. I personally can't walk into a dealership nowadays because all I get to see there is simply disgusting xD Simple rides from simple times for simple men! Cheers and keep em um and runnin! I love your Chevy - sweet looking truck!

[@MrSonic935]

try finding nice trucks like that here in wisconsin. most are rust buckets. and im going to get a ok truck, but it has alot of fucking rust that i have to fix.

[@Jameswow]

MrSonic935 try finding one down here in the coastal bend of texas we have nothin but rust

[@bigchazgaming6302]

MrSonic935 If you actually spent 10 minutes looking for a truck you could find one lol. There are a lot of clean trucks out there

[@wayloncody7554]

Hey

[@SubieandFriends]

You know what’s better then a 4x4? A 4x4 truck with a rear differential locker, I have a 2wd 92 ext cab with a rear locker and it can get to places that some open differential 4x4’s go thru

[@hkm_865]

Why not SUV? The Suburban is literally the exact same thing except the bed

[@D4x4Bronc]

HKM _ can't do real dirty work with a SUV without ruining it

[@spacerconrad]

I have a Suburban, 198k miles and going real strong. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. I don't have an open bed for outsized cargo, the truck bed makes a real nice hangout, sort of a mobile porch. However, as my 'Burb is a family trip-mobile, it'll carry all the stuff we could ever want to take with us, locked up inside, with plenty of roof to support the canoe and stuff like that. ...I'd still like a pickup though.

[@DenaliShep]

I like how he said "not an SUV" but has a camper top effectively making his truck into an SUV.

[@ianlaframboi1]

suv is not good for contractor

[@johnsimun6533]

Pick up, just throw a dead body in the bed, then rinse when done. SUV, line the back with plastic, and wrap the body in plastic, air freshener when done.

[@RI-nw6du]

I had a 95 silverado just like that until a month ago when I got rear ended. 176k and still kicking ass! Got to go out west and find another one

[@ckydch]

I bought a 03 zr2 s10 for $400 the other day. Guy said a rod was knocking. Started it up and it only needed new plugs haha

[@Yousitech]

I'm not a fan of the 88-98 trucks because they are in the same price range of a 99-02 truck which have the ls motors which have much more power and are more reliable. The 03-06 or cateye trucks have held their value a bit more. IMO if you want a good daily driver cheap truck that will do anything the best route is a 99-02.

[@jmoo72]

awesome truck! always like the older chevys trucks! now days trucks just cost a fortune! with all this unnecessary shit they put in. people are scared to use there truck what there intended for! and aluminium frames smh!

I am looking for a retirement truck......thanks for the video. I have 2 test cars that I have experimented on for 3 years to raise mpg. Raised my mpg using real products my uncle tested for 45 years in the arctic cold starts 1) Walmart product has 5 chemicals ......anti friction as engines have 60 % ,......carbon remover.....varnish remover.....top oil lubricant raises compression = more hp free torque.....Sludge in old engines and Canadian engines ....called MARVEL MYSTERY OIL .....google it or you tube it was used by racing teams in the 1970's to break in new engines for friction. 5 bucks in the US MMO Marvel Mystery Oil .......put 4 OZS per gas tanks of fuel and try for 1 year Highway MPG increase while engine cleans......6-8 OZS in the oil at oil change .....you can reduce oil and add more after 6 months but slow at first to remove sludge. 2) You don't have to use this from EBAY...... Militec 1 military anti friction ......it goes into the metal to reduce friction spots and I use it to but it costs money......It is used to keep a Helicopter flying 30 minutes to prevent a crash and POW situation....Vietnam...... when oil is shot out of Helicopter

The great thing about an old truck is you can treat it like old truck. Like he stated in the video they are cheap to fix and you can do all the work yourself. I replaced the 2 front rotors on my truck a few months back and they cost 25 bucks a piece. My uncle replaced the rotors on the front of his 2012 and they cost 120 bucks a piece and he was mad that mine were so much cheaper lol I take mine off road all the time and I don't have a care in the world about dents or scratches or things like that. Stuff I would never do with a new truck especially if I were still paying on it which really limits what you can do with it.

25 bucks apiece for new rotors? What make is that? When I replaced the rotors on my '97 GMC recently, they were about 90 bucks each. I hope you didn't buy used ones.

if the car cost you almost as much as you paid for it in repairs in only half a year id trade up. you cant go wrong with a chevy/gmc truck. the 1999 - 2006 trucks are the best value. good price (average 2wd extendid cab is $2k - 4k) has good build quality and is a great practical daily driver. and get the exstended cab, its way better than the single cab.

Most offers I received were in the mid to low 3000's and I thought it was absolutely ridiculous for a no rust, very well maintained full size 4 wheel drive truck so I held out til I got the 4K. Took a few months but I got it. Since the truck in this video is in a similar environment/area but its an older model (still very nice) with about 50-60 less horses, same on torque I would think you shouldn't have to pay more than 3K......even with the lower mileage. Can't ask for a better vehicle for a first truck for a new driver. I would say the only drawback is the fuel consumption. It's a trade off though as it can haul. Depends on your needs.

[@geraldscott9446]

As a mechanic, I would suggest getting a 1995 or older, and avoid the OBDII emissions crap that came out in 1996. It is a nightmare to work on. Also stay away from anything but TBI injection. It is almost as reliable as a carburetor. Multi Port fuel injection is another expensive nightmare. I personally am a fan of 1973 to 1987 Chevy/GMC trucks. They have carburetors, and are super easy to work on. Very minimal electronics. A couple of other things to remember. 1993 and older trucks are going to have R-12 A/C, and it will be impossible to fix without modifying it to use R-134a. And GM trucks from 1996 up will have DEXKILL coolant. This stuff is an engine destroyer. You may wind up having to replace the engine depending on how plugged up it is. DEXKILL changes from a liquid to a solid in the engine, and once that happens, it's too late. It doesn't take that long either. Four wheel drive is an option, IF you need it. The four wheel drive system in pre 1988 GM trucks is far superior to the flimsy setup they put in newer models. It uses an almost unbreakable solid front axle and leaf springs. The front differential and transfer case are easy to remove and replace in these trucks.

[@wranglercody8422]

Yeah I wish my truck was TBI, I had problems with the spider injectors on mine around 90k miles. and for off road use a solid front axle would be awesome but for a daily driver that sees occasional off road use IFS works pretty good. Thanks for watching . (:

My friend just bought an old 93 Suburban with 4 wheel drive and I picked it up for him and drove it over 60miles to my place and it ran like a new truck.

[@wranglercody8422]

[@workingshlub8861]

i agree....got a 92 astro work van and a 01 ram 1500 plow truck... easy to fix ..parts cheap .not all kinds of computers and modules to mess with. and best part no payments.

[@wranglercody8422]

cheap, easy, simple. damn straight

[@PeteyG708]

Very nice truck! I have a 98 K1500 with 218K. Running strong, it is MINE (no payments) and is ultra reliable!

[@wranglercody8422]

[@wranglercody8422]

i got my ranch hand bumpers off craigslist. they cost $1500 new a pice. $400 craigslist deal and it came with the side step bars too. i love the bumpers great for offroad, more crash protection and they just look mean

[@nukedude]

Went the Suburban route myself. Great vehicle, cheap parts, and has pulled many out of snow and ditches over the years. No tow truck fees.

[@atmosrepair]

And you can haul just as much with suburban too. But also carry a team of mercenaries.

[@atmosrepair]

Tahoe 5.7L V8 vortec better. If that truck holds 5 passengers, a Tahoe holds 15....

[@lonecrusaider]

I just bought a 2000 Silverado 2500 HD. Best decision I made.

[@SimpleManFromIndiana]

It's 230 horse and usually degrades to about 200ish

[@wranglercody8422]

yeah its somewhere in the 200-220 range, it doesn't really make much difference beacuse all that matters is that it runs good and gets me and my crap from a to b and then c with no issues.

[@SimpleManFromIndiana]

True, but personally I use those horses to tow my trailers

[@vvsquidwardvv682]

I'm A Blue Collar Son my 305 is about 230 horse

[@jeffreyelliott622]

I inherited my late dad's 94 Chevy Country Coaches K1500 4X4 5.7 lt V8 350 engine with only now 88 600 original miles on it !!! And it's my daily driver to work and back home 5 days a week 50 miles a day and it was never a daily driver anyway so it was never abused but the paint is peeling pretty bad and some surface rust but I'm thinking of getting it Rhino Lined completely !! The automatic transmission changes gears smooth as silk and the floor shift 4X4 works like a charm and the cruise control is to be admired while feeling the transmission get a good strong workout while going up nice long inclines and now I'm a firm FAN of Lucas oil stop leak and Lucas Transmission additive as well for my truck !!! So I'll continue to give it the respect it deserves and the proper TLC and it'll take care of me getting me from point A to point B !!!!

[@senyashchukin391]

Im a Russian guy living in America I just bought a big 2000 Silverado 2500. Big 6L v8. I feel like a real American now. All that's left to do is apply for citizenship and I'll be happy camper in beautiful America : )

[@MechRider89]

The only benefits to buying a new truck is interior comforts and more towing capabilities. But at the prices of new trucks its still not worth it, then the build quality tends to be crap especially the new GM trucks. I'll stick with my old gm square bodies and 2001 and under dodge cummins.

[@hughes2397]

That's when trucks were made out of something. You can actually work on them yourself. Also, they were way less computerized. You couldn't even GIVE me a brand new truck!

[@Nothing-qq4hd]

I bought a 98 sierra 2500 out of Vegas craigslist for 1700... It needed some serious tlc. But now after replacing everything nescessary it is going strong.

[@marshallcahill4958]

I have a 1984 Chevrolet c-20, 350, with a granny four speed. Had since it was new. Don't think I will ever buy a spanking new truck

[@josh_brown4088]

I have a 99 Chevy Silverado with a 5.3L v8 and its a beast compared to most 2014 up models

[@wranglercody8422]

Chevy doent make trucks like they used to, they aint built to last and the price for a new truck is insane for any make. $30,000 for a base model. screw it keep the old ones running its a better investment.

[@josh_brown4088]

cody k1500 Got that right

[@brandedmcgowan9414]

And mine had a VORTEC 5.7 with g80 locking differential. I think the 305s doesn't come equipped it?.

[@Unicornguy]

Your truck is so kick ass! That's exactly the Silverado I would love to own! I just subbed to you.

[@wranglercody8422]

Thanks for the compliment I take a lot of pride in my truck, and thanks for subscribing

[@Unicornguy]

You're welcome! Can't wait to see more videos about your truck!

[@donniebaynard8430]

95 or older in NC only requires safety inspection. Food for thought. Mines a 350 though. Much better.

[@johnthefox6239]

I like old trucks because you can buy 2 or 3 POS ones for $300 and fix them for nothing but elbow grease.

[@STREETRACEN4U]

i need that bumper for my truck!!!

[@David-cy5zu]

what about climate change? In ur desert a normal sedan would not stuck also due to solid ground.

[@CJColvin]

I have two videos of my truck. One is 1996 F150 Cold start and the other is memories of my 96 F150. In order to watch these videos just type in 96 F150 Cold start or go to my KZbin channel CJ Colvin and you see the two videos that I posted.

[@wranglercody8422]

yeah ill check those vids out.

[@CJColvin]

cody morneault Why thank ya man I really appreciate it.

[@RandomActivities]

I have an old Explorer and I love it! It's reliable and relatively easy to work-on. I need to get another pickup, but I love the Explorer and it's a keeper!

[@wranglercody8422]

thats good. old trucks as long as you keep up with the mantanence they last forever. if u want a truck cheep look into dealer auctions.

[@luquidsilver]

When he said 18 to the gallon you know he's clueless 😂

[@wranglercody8422]

whatever dude. i dont know why i said 18 gallon i forgot the actuall # so i pulled 18 out of nowhere

[@vvsquidwardvv682]

luquidsilver I have the 305 in my 96 I get like 15 if I take it easy.

[@streetslayinggto410]

VvSQUIDWARDvV yeah 15 on the highway going 50 off the gas. I used to have one and averaged about 11 and I have a low miles 2008 silverado with active fuel management and I can tell you it gets alot better fuel milage than those trucks and I only average about 16 in it and can get around 20mpg on highway

[@workingshlub8861]

i am lucky to get 13 highway in my ram..5.9

[@Natedawolfman]

working shlub I feel ya...

[@brettduffy1992]

I would never take a $60,000 brand new truck out there

[@JM.Magico]

Have 03 ford f150 v6 4.2 Mostly city commute Economic and decent power Beats a monthly payment

[@wranglercody8422]

yeah the best truck is the one that you own and dont owe anyone for it, that and as long as it gets the job done your all good

[@niagra898]

Damn right,Chevy all the way man.Nice Truck.

[@wranglercody8422]

Thanks man, MURICA’!

[@mikemb123]

A truck should have the maximum hauling capacity for the smallest amount of money spent. This way you make more money per load you are hauling. Today's trucks give you the exact opposite of that. If you buy a truck today you are forced to spend way more than you need to haul what you are hauling. Nothing about today's trucks make sense from the stanpoint of what a truck really should be. Just look at a modern truck creeping through a mall parking lot empty and you can see that it does not make any sense. Too much initial cost for unneeded size, power and features plus constant maintenance cost makes no sense.

[@esalas9140]

Only bad thing is the gas mileage

[@permafriedmike8193]

4l60e is a junk trans

[@mattc7032]

I drive a 2000 Ford F-150, 250,000 miles on it right now, runs strong, has a 4.2 V6, 5-speed trany. nothing special about it. its just a good old pick up truck that gets me from point A to point B. and hopefully till i at least graduate next year, i'm getting worried, the entire truck is pretty much 17 years old other than the commonly replaced parts. brakes, filters, oil, etc

[@wranglercody8422]

just keep up on the preventative maintainece and the truck will last a long time. maybe eventually swap the 4.2 for a 5.0 :)

[@mattc7032]

i actually have thought about doing a swap, but i just need to raise the money for it and find myself a new engine thats rebuilt or one that i have to rebuild. either way, i would find a way to get it done when or if i get the money.

[@mariorancatore5394]

My 98 gmc sierra 5.0l 1500 has 255000 miles on the original motor and trans and everything works on it. It has no body rust and runs as smooth as any new vehicle. And I have a 99 ford ranger with the 3.0l and it's got 245000 miles on the original motor and trans. Payed 2000 for the gmc and only 600 for the ranger. I rescued the ranger from going to a junk yard because it was totaled on from hitting a tree. And I drive the ranger almost 100 miles a day for work. These 2 trucks will probably out live me both are cheap and reliable.

[@wranglercody8422]

That’s awesome. Now there’s all the evidence you need to see they don’t make trucks like they used to.

[@mariorancatore5394]

Nope they dont. I had a 2011 ram 1500 with a 5.7l and it collapsed a valve a 160000 miles and I drove it like I drive my two I got now. Newer vehicles just don't hold up like there older counter parts.

[@FuelTankerMan]

We have the same truck... 239,000 miles... same 305 engine, same 4l60e... so far, no trouble. :)

[@CollinZ71]

Old trucks are good for work and use. But not the best daily drivers because they break and they're bumpy and uncomfortable to drive. But parts are cheap and easy so it goes both ways. 305 V8 makes probably 200-215 horse. Not 130. I have to disagree on the sexy part though. You can't haul 3000lbs in the bed either. It's a half ton. 1000lb bed capacity. 350 is a good reliable engine but not bulletproof. 4L60E is anything but bullet proof either. Sorry man I don't think you know what you're talking about.

[@thommytwotoestimesthree847]

Collin Z71. I thought he said 5.2litre...305 c.i.d.
