@@Nerfblaster234 I love red interiors on cars. I have a 1994 Chevrolet Corsica that we got since new and it also has red interior. Take care of your old Chevy it is nice.
I just saw one of these today down the road at the gas station. It was all rusty just like yours and man was it neat! I talked to the owner and he was going to a show nearby.
Great Trucks. Just picked up a 97. 89k orginal miles. Texas Truck. Rust Free. Super Clean. Had a 92 Forever. To me. The Last of the Great GM TRUCKS. They aged Well. Nice Lines like Old Box Trucks. Can't go wrong. They look great. There Simple . You can Work on them. Can't Beat the Old Trucks.
I got a lowered 96 silverado single cab, pearl white. All billet grilled custom looking, really a beautiful truck. I cannot get gas without someone walking up to it and make small talks. These are amazing trucks, add a trans cooler to give the 4l60e transmission somewhat more life. Got mine rebuild a year ago, mine sits on 275 cooper cobra tires , on american racing deep dish rims. She looks mean...
Garrett Watzek audio through a video never is the same as in person when it had the stock exhaust on it you could not hear the exhaust at all while driving it was whisper quiet. Lol I did find your comment funny tho 😂
Some jerk in a raggedy Dodge ram rammed into my baby. Insurance totalled her out and I bought her back for a song. Easy to work on, starts every time, and pulls like a happy mule. I love my Chevy K1500.
Looks like you got a front crank shaft seal leak my does. See the oil on the ac line right of the alternator oil that has a big aluminum part oil film. I got to get mine fixed
I found one of those springs on the floor board of my 97. What are those springs for. I’ve always been a Ford guy and recently bought my neighbors 97 Z71. Nice truck man looks great.
I have the same year truck,except i don't have the Z71 package.Everything is original.The question is, can the lumbar support switch be replaced on both driver and passenger side?
Gary Jackson I’m not really sure but Im sure if you look around the Internet you’ll find the answer, if not check if there’s a fuse to it and if it has blown.
Nice truck man! Dude this is my favorite color of this interior of these trucks. I wanna get a burgundy exterior with the burgundy interior with cloth bench seats. Tell me, is this truck enjoyable for you to drive?
Jonathan lewis music oh yeah man I love this truck it drives great on the highway and has a really nice ride for a truck and gas mileage ain’t bad either
I have a 98 Burgandy 2500 4x4 it is mint. It is my 2nd 98 I have owned my first was a z model. Absolutely love these trucks. Not one of them ever left me walking or calling a tow truck. If you can find one. Buy it
This truck is really interesting to me... I see the dash doesn't have the airbag (so definitely a 95-96) but I was pretty sure that the 3rd door wasn't available until like 97 or 98.
Gary Jackson first to avoid spending even more money on new bulbs use a battery and some wire to connect to the bulb to see if they work or go ahead and replace the switch and see if the bulbs work that’s probably the best solution because then you can just buy some new bulbs if needed.
ttt gg depends on the issues there was never really anything wrong with this when my grandfather fixed it besides brakes and injectors the wheels were more of a cosmetic thing and the paint was so it wouldn't rust an undercoating so it wouldn't rust as well
depends on what you want, if you want it black paint it black but if the truck is only scratched then you might be able to get away with a paint correction and not have to have it repainted but deep scratches into the paint will require repainting
I think it has to do with the latch not fully opening I'm sure there's a way to fix it but it's not that big of a deal to me cause it just takes a little extra bit of pull to get it to open.

My wife owned a 99 suburban...motor had 332,000 when it gave out..4L 60 transmissions are junk..had it rebuilt twice by a guy who had 40 yrs experience...he said bad design..but overall was happy with it...Good luck...
Nothing is bad about the design of the 4L60e… it’s been around for years and lots of these trucks have high mileage on their 4L60e’s. If you’re finding that you need to rebuild your transmission that many times, try changing your driving habits or maybe the transmission shop… Sure these trannys are not built as stout as the 4L80e but it’s still a great transmission - limited to light duty purposes.
Must be in pretty good shape to only have 70k congrats on having a family owned truck. they're always the best because you know the story and maybe have memories in the truck.
Nerfblaster234 Ye he couldn’t drive it much cause of his old age so my grandma would use it a little just to not let it go to waste but imma do good with it now
I have the exact same truck except it's a GMC and a 97.I blew a head gasket and cracked the head so I put a 383 in it from GM performance parts because it was a direct fit, plus it was only $200 more to have the engine replace.
Miguel Plascencia that’s because your 91 isn’t a vortec 350 so it makes about 190-200hp and 300ft lb of torque and the vortec engines from 96-98 made 255hp and 330ft lb
lockandloadlikehell well it's on the sticker in the dash and it's for the locking differential when one wheel spins the differential locks up for more traction most 88-98 obs Chevys have that differential. My truck does not one wheel peel it has the locking rear diff I've proven it in snow and gravel one wheel slips then the rear locks and both wheels turn.
@@Nerfblaster234 I know what a G80 is/does. I said: Z71 doesn't come with the G80 in GMT400s; you must order it separately. A lot of people think it comes with the Z71, automatically, when it doesn't. Not in GMT400s. I believe you have it. No GMT400 had the G80 unless that option box was ticked.
Aaron Littrell you do realize tbi stands for throttle body injection right? The injectors are in the throttle body, hence the name throttle body injection. Next time check your facts before hating on something. 😂
The GM Man no what’s special about it is it’s been passed down two generations in my family and is still in amazing shape for the miles and hard years of work.
I'm glad you pointed out it's a real Z71, because I was about to report you to the Z71 police.

It is a very handsome vehicle. That was what GM did well decades ago.
I loved my 97 short bed regular cab Z71. The frame rotted out from under a pristine body. I gave it away.
Looks great man

Good information
Thanks
I saw that you said you fixed an ac leak. What did you do? Did you get a new compressor?
Nice Bro
I found one of those springs on the floor board of my 97. What are those springs for. I’ve always been a Ford guy and recently bought my neighbors 97 Z71. Nice truck man looks great.
Just thought I’d let you know they didn’t make Z71 until 98. Either way it doesn’t make a difference but thought I would point it out.
Nice!
Thanks
why did you shoot the rim's what did the do to you at 28 sec you said the rim's were shot
"not gonna be doing heavy bangin in here anyways"
Was the Z71 similar to the SS 454? It looks like it evolved into it...
I like that he says it's not very loud by any means cranks it up and wooooommm that thing is roaring lol
It was whisper quiet. The camera is right next to the exhaust that’s why it seems loud 😂
@@Nerfblaster234 lol makes sense, I can tell you right off the bat mines quieter but its loud for stock exhaust
Nice red interior
i have that exact same american flag decal on my inside window of my 97 that was passed from my grandpa haha
Beautiful truck man.. Hang on to it...
Kyle Hereygers trust me I will
I have the same truck but green should I paint it black?

This truck is really interesting to me... I see the dash doesn't have the airbag (so definitely a 95-96) but I was pretty sure that the 3rd door wasn't available until like 97 or 98.
DanteGTZ no you actually could have a third door in 96 just wasn’t common
My 1996 has the 3rd door
Every scratch and dent are from the family ride with pride .
One more question,I have a cargo lamp switch inside my truck and it does not work.Would i have to replace the bulbs or the inside switch or both?
Gary Jackson first to avoid spending even more money on new bulbs use a battery and some wire to connect to the bulb to see if they work or go ahead and replace the switch and see if the bulbs work that’s probably the best solution because then you can just buy some new bulbs if needed.
@@Nerfblaster234 Ok
Looks like the ac compressor is leaking. Super common problem on these trucks and a really easy fix too.
No it was just fixed right before this video was filmed.
The first vortec made 250 then 97-98 are 255.
All you need now is some dual exhaust
Jack Vegetables flow masters at that. I have it on my ‘98
Bro do you how much it cost to fix it I have 97 Silverado I’m guessing the price has to be similar.
ttt gg depends on the issues there was never really anything wrong with this when my grandfather fixed it besides brakes and injectors the wheels were more of a cosmetic thing and the paint was so it wouldn't rust an undercoating so it wouldn't rust as well
Nerfblaster234 thanks for the response I’m fixing the 97 Silverado and a 83 ford pickup I just really like how yours turned out.
ttt gg thanks I hope everything goes well with fixing them.
I have the same truck but green. Paint is scratched everywhere should I paint it black or keep green?
depends on what you want, if you want it black paint it black but if the truck is only scratched then you might be able to get away with a paint correction and not have to have it repainted but deep scratches into the paint will require repainting
Rishpish1 keep it green. I have a 97 z71 it’s that darker green. Get lots of complements.
Bedline it
i have the same year same model and my tailgate do the samething,did you figure out what is causing it?
I think it has to do with the latch not fully opening I'm sure there's a way to fix it but it's not that big of a deal to me cause it just takes a little extra bit of pull to get it to open.

Just say no to fender flares and cladding. They trap moisture and create rust. DON'T do it.
Talks about stance but doesn’t have more than 1 inch offset
The front tires stick out 2 3/4 of an inch from the fender. I never said it had a super aggressive stance, I said it had a better stance than stock.
