Hey @Car Wizard, I've been watching you for a few months and at first I used to think you were a little boring. However seeing this videos with your other shop workers and seeing jokes being thrown around really reveals much more of your personality, you seem like a pretty cool guy! Thanks for all the information you provide on your videos!
Agreed. I live in Texas and I have a 2004 Acura TL 6 MT and a 2008 Honda Odyssey EXL that I have owned since brand new, and not a spec of rust anywhere on the vehicle. It is one of hte advantages outside of freedom, liberty, and the rule of law that we enjoy in Texas.
The wheels, smoked out taillights, and wing are a tell-tale sign this truck was Mexican-owned.... Do not buy a truck from the Mexicans. I am speaking from experience. Do not do it and save yourself headaches. After seeing 45+ Silverados while shopping and noticing a pattern you know.
The wonder twins together again - even I like both of your channels individually - I love it when you guys are working together !!! Love to see the work on the pick up - and anything else you do together !!!
Wizzzzzard, do all the brake and fuel lines while your in there. I’m GM parts wholesaler people keeping these old ones going replace them daily.. my most popular selling parts lol
I don’t know why neither of these men run two separate microphones for their channel. You can pick up a receiver and two wireless mics for not a lot of money.
They probably do not read comments anymore now that the channel is doing so good. I have not seen a reply or comment in a long time so they probably will not see this. Happens a lot with youtubers once they see success they stop interacting with those that helped bring them success. Going to be a public person you got to take time out to visit with the fans:P
I own a stock 2000 model, black single cab short bed. I use it for work. Lots of homies (side show enthusiasts) and seniors always ask if my truck is for sale.
And the guys did great on camera. I’d just freeze up, especially around that group. The Wizard, Mrs. Wizard and Hoovie? (And I don’t think the truck is that bad…transmission issues aside, nonexistent rust? Winner!)
I work for a lot of the car dealerships here in the Tulsa area. I see many good deals from time to time. High end and low end. I just never have the funds to do anything about it.
i don't understand the love for them. i drove an almost new then 454ss and i was cramped up. i am only 6' 1". i have owned several gm and dodge trucks, none of the single cabs because they are too small.
I started watching you and trying to fix all the WEIRD Mistake autos that Tyler gets himself into and you both are great. If I did not live in Central Florida, I would buy cars and let you fix everything. Not only are you a Wizard in diagnosing and fixing autos, you are so very entertaining. Love seeing you and Ms. Wizard do reviews.
I think a short bed pickup is useless. So many newer pickups still have those rust out problem spots, why can't detroit get that right ? My dad had a 1973 that rusted out it's rocker panels in 18 months and the factory could never get it's carb set right, ran like poo.
There are prefabricated rocker panel kits available to fix the rust issues. Worth body shop work - great trucks. Have a full repaint after rust adressed. Use Fluid Film after body work to prevent future rust issues. Parts readily available.
I kinda felt better now after buying a 2004 dodge ram 1500 with a Hemi for 650 dollars a couple weeks ago lol. Had to replace the engine, but I did drive it home so that’s a win lol. Grabbed a 450 dollar engine from the wreckers and she’s a runner hehe.
Those are replica 22 inch Snowflake Wheels that's why the Center Caps are blank. They're replicas of like a (2015-2018) Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe, or Suburban Wheel. You can get those wheels with some cheap knock off tires on them for around $2,200 a set either online, or through a Shop that specializes in aftermarket, and replica wheels.
Wow. I have a 06 in the same configuration, and this one is making mine look nice. It has 260k and it runs and drives. The trans is starting to do what 4l60s do.
Depending on the purchase price, it would make a good working truck. I think a good tune up and fix a few of the annoying things (the smell) and just use it as a truck!
This one actually has a lot of potential. Body panels are easy to come by and gmt800s are super easy to work on. De-gangster it, fix the issues, cheap paint job and it could be a nice cruiser. 4/6 drop and some nice wheels and you have a nice little sport truck.
Telling facts my man. They’re not body guys at all can’t refinish anything themselves. Could easily fix those minor things refinish and flip for 15. Oh well. Not the best on body estimations are they. Actually I would do my own refinishing. Easy base clear job for low cost too if you know how. Simple and fun. But hey if it’s scratched sell it 😂
Also the 4.8 handles boost really well and at only 190,000 miles it’s begging for some turbos. I know the wizard is just fixing it but this would be a really cool street truck to either do a dirt cheap 500 ish horsepower turbo setup or go a little further for 700+ horsepower.
@@cavalierliberty6838 How so? I have had several gmt800s and have never had any wiring issues. This one looks like a simple fuel pump and probably one of the seat sensors for the airbag message
@@joshweaver38 were yours cateye or round body? Everyone I've met with a cateye has a ton of wiring problems because GM started cheaping out and using thinner wires around that time.
Despite all the bad bits - I think this is a decent little truck underneath! This is a really good Wizard type of project. I think it could looks seriously good when she’s had some TLC! You all make such a good team though - I love the banter
I love the ‘03/‘07 cat eye silverados….. ive owned 3 of them in the past before i went to a bro-dozer duramax LMM……..i would like to get another cateye in the future but strict ca. smog laws limit what i can do with it…..so instead i swapped the LS drivetrain out of a cateye into my ‘73 c/10 swb fleetside and added a vortech v-3 supercharger for shits and giggles
I just got rid of the same truck last year but in a 99 first year. Black 4.8 4x4 shortbed in black. Best vehicle I've ever owned. Had to do knock sensors and a fuel pump in the 80k miles that I owned it. Pa salt started getting into the frame at 184k. Sold it still running fine but miss it everyday. 4.8 are great engines too. They take boost better than the 5.3 because of the flat top pistons. Great truck
This video was so great! Godspeed wizard! You made my day. 🙂 I have a feeling that most of the damage on this truck happened in a short period of time. Perhaps even all at once.
Wizard's trying to get on Hoovie's level of dumb and I love it. I'm just disappointed we didn't have Grimes look at the truck, shake his head, and walk away.
Thank you Car Wizard for making me feel good about my 04 4X4 Silverado. It has less than 70K miles on it, but it’s been through some pretty rough terrain as my firewood hauler. The body is dented, scratched and rusted, but at least it hasn’t been shot! 😁
The black ice little trees hanging in the black single cab Silverado reminds me of my best friends truck in high school. Jennifer was the trucks name and there were a lot of good memories in that thing.
If the 4.8 is an iron block and lists 4.8 5.3 6.0 on the side then it can be bored out. GM used the same block on some of the LS engines with the iron block. That, or turbo that 4.8 🙂
Thats the perfect turbo build truck. Those 4.8 have seen large boost numbers. Gotta replace transmission anyway so put a good one in to hold 500 hp or more
🤔🤐😂Common misconception that people with no knowledge have...say LS big power blah, blah! That high mileage 4.8L ain't worth none fr! To get 500hp out of a 4.8 or 5.3, you would need to spend big money, it's not that easy and definitely not cheap either! You would need bigger injectors, ported heads or trick flow heads, aggressive camshaft, better cai, better exhaust and a tune...then maybe you will make 500hp! If not...turbo or s/c will be needed! That's a whole bunch of money, LS fan boys make it seem like...you can magically make any LS put out big power cheaply!👎👎That's only true with coyote or predator engines though, because their DOHC NOT OHV...all you need is better cai, better exhaust and a tune!🤔😉💯💯💯
$19,800 for an 04 Silverado 2wd? Hard to imagine anyone paying that price. In 2019 I got a brand new F150 XLT, supercrew, max trailer towing, navigation, Sport package, trailer backup assist, 3.5 Ecoboost, 4WD, got a factory extended warranty and paid sales tax and was out the door for $47K. Brand new truck. No way would I spend 40% that much for ANY 04 truck!
Hey Wizard: Your Chevy Truck is really cool. Yeah it’s ruff , but it’s a short box fleetside!! My suggestion is to pull the box, change out the sending unit fuel pump assembly. Pull front clip Then power wash the frame, motor etc. I’d get a 6.2 and trans from bone yard and put in it. You could fix the cab and doors then just replace bed and front clip with later from bone yard. You might be able to get full box for just a few hundred as well as a front clip. It’s definitely worth saving.
Nice truck for the channel, looking forward to upcoming videos . Put a 5.3 in with tow rear, it will fly. I know, because I had one in a 2-wheel drive back in 2012.
Rust replacement panels are probably available cheap, cheaper than trying to bondo the rust anyways. Basic repair and maintenance would probably cost between four and seven grand depending on how good he wants it to look afterwards.
I don't think the wheels are stolen. I'm running honeycombs on both my 04 Silverado and my wife's 05 Escalade. The smooth center cap is indicative of an aftermarket knock off wheel. There are quite a few companies selling reproductions.
The wheels on this truck are called snowflakes.. Every douche bag from 17 to 25 with a junk pos truck has a set in my town.. And they all think their truck is bad ass.. Every one of them have straight pipes that sound even worse than the truck looks..
i love the truck reminds me of my gmc envoy that ive been fixing up for years and aint worth a dime but its about the journey not the destination. look forward to seeing the repairs.
It's not all that bad. I have an 02 Z 71 Silverado I call Big Red. It's had a much rougher life than that one. Originally it belonged to a fire department in Central Missouri, then it belonged to a guy who cut wood for a living, then the maintenance man where I worked bought it as a work truck on the job and for his construction job. Big Red has worked very very hard. Fortunately the owners before me kept up the maintenance fairly well. It had a lot of items needing repair when I got it. Everything has been addressed at this point. Mechanically Big Red is perfect. Cosmetically, rough, rusty, every panel is dented, scratched, or both. It has 325,000 miles, runs and drives perfectly, no warning lights. I'd say you could drive across country without a worry. I love my old truck.
Rims look stolen and owner has anger issues. Implied by the border and other white guy was scared if the location he was at. Seems like normal racist behavior,no wonder you enjoyed it. Just say it was bought from a paisa and move on. Instead they attempt to make digs every chance they get." Well they hauled something,that's for sure" just stop racist.
I was just going to say I have a 2007 extended cab with the same engine but runs like new with 198700 miles on it I've kept it bone stock but I luv it. It was my work truck for 12 yrs and now it's my weekend get around truck.
I pray the Pysco who caused all that damage doesn't come back for their truck! Geez that was a reckless choice really, that employee could have been harmed badly too! This is a GOOD Lesson of what NOT to do! I hope Hoovie and Wizard exersise and little more caution, we want to keep seeing your videos for years to come! Stay safe!
It's neat but I will argue with you about the pricing. During Covid, absolutely they would get close to that price. Now? no way. There have been clean southern examples fetching under 10k around me (and im in the Midwest). I found an extremely clean example with some surface rust on the frame for $6500 out in the boonies where the salt trucks dont go.
As the owner of an 02 Avalanche Z66 I love the cats eyes on it. As the owner of a Starcraft customized 94 Silverado 1500 extended cab Sportside bed I loathe the cats eye front end on a pickup. Worst design Chevy trucks ever had. Close to 200k and the tranny out sounds right as that's when the one in the Avalanche went out as well. Looking forward to the videos on this.
you know it bad when hoovie tells you its a pos lol
What’s bad is u don’t know body work. Simple easy fixes unless ur a noob. Yeah I can see why u whine. Omg a hole in metal. What do I do. Omg. Omg hanging a fender or replacement rocker. Omg.

When it’s ugly and a mess cosmetically u get real bargains. Looks sell and that’s all that matters. Like a moth to a flame
PUUUUNNTTT!!!
So true 😃😃
Took the words right out of my mouth!!!
I bet Wizard gets it all sorted for under 5 or $6,000. He will have less than $11,000 in it. Not a show truck, but just a nice truck.
That's a *_really_* common replica wheel, for well under $300.00 each.
I've had a set on my 2014 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 LTZ for years. 👍
"This thing's got two or three felonies under it's belt" Best quote!
Kind of sounded to me like he was present for one or more of those
It's all drug highway mileage.

I didn't know the single cabs go for that much ! Time to sell mine😁
I don't think the wheels are stolen. I'm running honeycombs on both my 04 Silverado and my wife's 05 Escalade. The smooth center cap is indicative of an aftermarket knock off wheel. There are quite a few companies selling reproductions.
The wheels on this truck are called snowflakes.. Every douche bag from 17 to 25 with a junk pos truck has a set in my town.. And they all think their truck is bad ass.. Every one of them have straight pipes that sound even worse than the truck looks..
i love the truck reminds me of my gmc envoy that ive been fixing up for years and aint worth a dime but its about the journey not the destination. look forward to seeing the repairs.
It's not all that bad. I have an 02 Z 71 Silverado I call Big Red. It's had a much rougher life than that one. Originally it belonged to a fire department in Central Missouri, then it belonged to a guy who cut wood for a living, then the maintenance man where I worked bought it as a work truck on the job and for his construction job. Big Red has worked very very hard. Fortunately the owners before me kept up the maintenance fairly well. It had a lot of items needing repair when I got it. Everything has been addressed at this point. Mechanically Big Red is perfect. Cosmetically, rough, rusty, every panel is dented, scratched, or both. It has 325,000 miles, runs and drives perfectly, no warning lights. I'd say you could drive across country without a worry. I love my old truck.
I dig it. Roll pan single cab short beds are amazing. This is the perfect shop truck.
Grimes has a career in brutal-but-honest car reviews.
Rims look stolen and owner has anger issues. Implied by the border and other white guy was scared if the location he was at. Seems like normal racist behavior,no wonder you enjoyed it. Just say it was bought from a paisa and move on. Instead they attempt to make digs every chance they get." Well they hauled something,that's for sure" just stop racist.
I was just going to say I have a 2007 extended cab with the same engine but runs like new with 198700 miles on it I've kept it bone stock but I luv it. It was my work truck for 12 yrs and now it's my weekend get around truck.
Hoovie's addition to the intro had me in stitches. You guys are great!
Stonks indeed!!! Love this, Wizard!
I pray the Pysco who caused all that damage doesn't come back for their truck! Geez that was a reckless choice really, that employee could have been harmed badly too!
This is a GOOD Lesson of what NOT to do! I hope Hoovie and Wizard exersise and little more caution, we want to keep seeing your videos for years to come! Stay safe!
He comes back when the Car is done!!!😁
I wasn't expecting Grimes to spit out the Felony Forest line. lmao
I’ve bought hoopties aplenty from less than discerning clientele. I’m very familiar. 😂😂
@@GrimesGarage 😅😅
If hoovie thinks those spikes are dangerous he should come down to Texas and see some cars with swingers on it
Whoa whoa u keep all that Utah stuff in Utah! Pal!
What are swingers? I'd Google it but I'm guessing if I searched for "car swingers" I'd get some very interesting results...
Swangin an bangin!
nothing to be proud of
With a little mustard n mayo!
Wizard saying the bullet holes could have hurt someone. Think that is idea of pulling the trigger and shooting bullets at people.
I'm guessing that Hoovie dented the roof? 😅
Please Car Wizard. Do not turn into another Hoovie. You have a very strong reputation as a mechanic, do not ruin that.
The most impressive part of the whole video is TCW and all his techs did not know the procedure for removing an interior door panel😂
It's neat but I will argue with you about the pricing. During Covid, absolutely they would get close to that price. Now? no way. There have been clean southern examples fetching under 10k around me (and im in the Midwest). I found an extremely clean example with some surface rust on the frame for $6500 out in the boonies where the salt trucks dont go.
Im refering to SCSB trucks. Not SCLB or CCSB
Rather have the 72!
As the owner of an 02 Avalanche Z66 I love the cats eyes on it. As the owner of a Starcraft customized 94 Silverado 1500 extended cab Sportside bed I loathe the cats eye front end on a pickup. Worst design Chevy trucks ever had. Close to 200k and the tranny out sounds right as that's when the one in the Avalanche went out as well. Looking forward to the videos on this.
Edgar must have had a good time with the Chevy 💀
I like the truck, and I'm a Ford guy.
It will be in many videos, and pay you back there. Looking forward to those videos.
