Best ZR2 video on KZbin 🔥🔥🔥

[@420motors]

Hell yea thanks

[@02productions52]

Love the video brother. I have a 2018 diesel zr2 over here in North Carolina as my daily driver and I am just about to hit 50k. I have not reset my trip odometer since I bought it brand new and it shows I am averaging 23 MPG over the 50k miles with a solid mix of city and highway almost daily. It’s completely stock with no engine mods or tuning. So far the only issue I have had has been a faulty speed sensor in the tranny that was covered in the warranty. I’ve taken it off-road to the beach’s on the coast and to the Piedmont in Uwharrie NF trails where it took the thee D’s (Dutch John, Dickey Bell, Daniel) on with only some scrapes to the plates and rock bars. I love this rig and look forward to riding it till I die.

[@jaredbauer3058]

Great video based on actual knowledge of using the truck in these circumstances. This is the kind of content that KZbin needs more of...

[@steventhomas729]

Thanks for great content. Thanks to you, I found out about and put on that rear differential and I'm planning on putting on those rear shock skids. I live on the east coast and did Peter's mills run as my first actual off road adventure. Having that rear differential skid plate gave me extra confidence going over two rock features that concerned me. I didn't scrap anything, but Having that differential skid plate sure took off some psychological pressure! LOL I'm planning on doing Flag Pole as soon as I get my rear shock skids put on. Knowing that your ZR2 is still going strong after 50K miles is great news to me too. Hector, I don't even come close to using my 2020 ZR2 like you do, but I sure appreciate your information and good advice to ZR2 owners. I learned a lot from you my friend. Big Thanks! Steve

In terms of saving money on a build if someone came out with an air locker for the axles on the W/T and Z71 models then a W/T would be the way to go. You're already gonna swap the suspension and bumpers and all that might as well start with the cheapest option. They sell 12 inch tablet dash inserts with GPS capability as well so you're only really missing out on half-leather seats and dual zone climate and factory heated seats if you like that stuff... and the built in control buttons.

[@bigboomshot]

Hey man, love the videos! Just wanted to let you know that you dont want to use 4 auto off road. Chevys use a clutch very similar to a dif lsd in their 4w auto. It will wear out well before its expected lifetime if you use it off road. I only use it off road when I'm not expecting to spin so it only kicks in when it's a emergency and when its snowing bit with a mix of dry and icy patches. 4wh can be used the whole time off road as long as the ground is loose enough to allow the tires to spin independent of eachother.

[@420motors]

Yea. That’s why I encourage 2wd. All newcomers try to max out in 4hi at first. Then we learn to have fun at slower speeds. You got some Solid advice regardless of vehicle, just preserve it. If you don’t need 4high don’t use it. Constantly getting stuck at Pismo cause even try to use 2wd in the sand

Great info! You're a great narrator super funny! TRD Pro tacoma or ZR2 Bison??

Thanks man. Depends what you want it for and how far you plan to build it. If your gonna keep it stock, you're not gonna beat the out of the box performance from a zr2. But if you plan to build it, It’s hard to compete with the Tacoma aftermarket offroad options as far as availability.

[@BarracudaBud]

Love all the info you put out man. My big question is do you recommend the diesel or gas? I’m leaning toward a more overlanding build but still want to do some desert running. I’m worried about the diesel being gutless for running and worried about the gas being gutless while overlanding/rockcrawling. Thoughts?

[@420motors]

Na diesel is probably what you want if your over-landing. It’s not gutless but yea slower than the gas. Honestly if your modding it for overlanding and decide to do some desert running, you might be a little heavy to be romping fast anyway. So diesel take off power might still be well match if your overweight

If this truck is taken care doing some over landing more than driving fast- in general - do you think these will hold their value and reliability when you start pushing 150k miles? I want to get a truck and keep it. Love Chevy, these trucks didn’t have such a hot rating Colorados prior to 2019 - but of course the ratings aren’t always right either. It would be between this or a Tacoma TRD off road. Which doesn’t have locking diff in the front, but the Tacoma is known for reliability.. we really haven’t had enough time to tell what modern trucks will bring as far as longevity, so at this point it’s just speculation. Thanks for the video great info thanks for any knowledge

Bomb news!! I just read that GM will discontinued the 2.8l Duramax for next year. What do you think about it? The price of it will drop and find parts also will be hard. What's your thoughts about it?

[@420motors]

I didn’t know. That’s sweet of the price drops

[@jamesestrada82]

Paisa style mods 🤣🤣🤣 Chingón!

[@420motors]

Lol true story

[@jamesestrada82]

@420 motors: That’s awesome bro! Love your channel man 👍🏼 You’re a big reason as to why I traded my Tacoma in for a ZR2.

[@420motors]

Aww hell yea man. We fight with trolls sometimes but I get the taco love. They get their owners home every time. Can’t ask for more

[@dansherwood1043]

Are you able to get 225 hp / 300 tq outof the diesel and get 30 mph? Delete n tune?

[@420motors]

I don’t know

[@jeffbaran8036]

What body kit does Hector have? How's the fit? Thanks

[@420motors]

He’s got one from Fiberwerx. Honestly none fit great. Would just go with what works best for you.

[@joespencer2732]

Lookin at them now. Man are they expensive!

[@420motors]

Oh yea.

[@Chinunit22]

How's that 8l90 Transmission holding up?

[@420motors]

Doing well still

[@NativeRT]

47k on my 17 diesel z71 and no issues at all.

[@420motors]

Hell yea man. Keep pushing.

[@leadnsteel1428]

got 128000 on a 2016 diesel and its great. i had to get a tune though. I disabled the egr but kept everything else and it only does a regen once per tank instead of 2- 3 times

[@rezavaziri6900]

What happened to the original dusk edition black wheels?

[@420motors]

Broke one sold the rest. They held up for a while. But eventually gave out.

[@rezavaziri6900]

@@420motors ah gotcha. What makes you think the stock zr2 wheels are stronger?

[@420motors]

Heard it from a few people. The stock ones held up well for longer than the black ones.

[@420motors]

I don’t know but they have proven to be stronger now. The black ones are good enough. But not as strong

[@rezavaziri6900]

@@420motors word. Thanks for the response

[@Dolphinsinthea1r]

the zr2 shocks or king 2.5?

[@420motors]

Not really a good comparison. That’s a big upgrade for a midsize. Spec for spec though nothing beats the dssv shocks. But let’s not pretend king doesn’t know how to make a shock lol.

[@Dolphinsinthea1r]

@@420motors I have a lt Colorado and been thinking about going king vs trading up for a new zr2.

[@420motors]

Oh. Damn. Don’t know man. Depends how crazy you want it. If your good with stock then I say zr2. If you plan to keep building I would just start chopping up that Colorado.

Ha! My dude Dennis damn near lost his winch!

WhatS the gas mileage like in the v6?

Shoot don’t know since we offroad so much the numbers are horrible

420 motors haha ok. Thanks anyway..

[@gdc818]

How fast can you go when you in 4high?

[@420motors]

Full speed buddy. Crap should have mentioned that

[@333jsh]

I have been up to 90 in 4 high with other vehicles without issue.

[@420motors]

Yea others say the same even though the vehicle doesn’t advertise it. Raptor and zr2 both advertise that you can run full speed for ever in 4hi

[@gdc818]

10-4 thanks

Every time I watch a video I learn something new!!! Getting my k10 ready to hit the trails soon

[@NoFksGvn4U]

My Zr2 squeaks like crazy going over bumps. Dealer said it was normal... lol wtf?

[@420motors]

Can be. Depends how much and how often it goes off road.

[@NoFksGvn4U]

@@420motors It's a hell of a lot and I go out at least once a week. Just hit 30k Brought it to the dealer three times and they keep turning me away. The leafsprings had to be reset and tightened down once because they shifted around on me.

[@420motors]

Lmao. Try ridding the ruts or bumps on the freeway on the way home. They shake everything out and help a lot with the squeaking. Besides that if you use a leaf spring vehicle. She will squeak

[@fernandoconde9892]

I wonder why they rag on these trucks alot on quality

[@kentsokay]

What's the cheapest configuration you'd buy for diesel? I'm a broke bitch but I dig the potential for good economy and all of that torque for trailering dirtbikes. I have an old Sequoia now and had an XJ before that.

I would totally rock a base model
