Will This Abandoned GMC Run and drive?

This old 91 GMC has been sitting for years. It was my truck years ago, and I gave it to my son to drive to school. In this video, I am going to try to get it to start.

[@lukeFugate]

LOL yes it was.

[@jb5nf]

I love those trucks

[@lukeFugate]

Yeah, they are pretty cool trucks.

[@toolsntruck941]

You are kidding all them old GMC trucks run forever my 99 4.3 vortec pulled it home with a chain at 235K and threw new heads two teenage boys drove the crap out of it.blew the 4l60e out sat a year now driver's all. Summer 140 miles a day,she leaks oil and cut off the cat and runs like a top at 360 k. Towed a boat from Montana to Washington. They just won't die

[@lukeFugate]

Yeah, they are good trucks. This one will live again.

I watched the entire video Luke. It was good to see somebody free up a stuck engine again. I'm not sure about that throttle body though.

[@lukeFugate]

I was sure happy to feel it turn loose there. I wonder if when I hit the crankshaft with the hammer did anything or if it just happened to break free just then.
Yeah, that throttle body is locked pretty good. I have been on the search for one. If I can break that one free I will try it out, but I don't think I would depend on it for continued use.

Hello Luke, I was wondering if you were located in Eastern Kentucky by any chance. I am located just west of Lexington, Kentucky. That truck looks fairly straight considering sitting idle for a while. The engine was cranking over pretty well considering how stuck the engine was. That throttle body may be DOA though. I am really looking forward to seeing your next video to see how things progress.

[@lukeFugate]

@@TheIronDuke502 Thanks. Yeah, I'm from Eastern Ky. Around the Hazard area. I think I may have found another throttle body if the guy ever checks his messages lol.

[@TheIronDuke502]

@@lukeFugateGood Deal Luke. My grandmother was a Spencer and was from that area. She was buried at the Eversole Cemetery if you are familiar with that cemetery.

For real I have an 89 gmc or chevy idk but I changed the grill style from that old one with the newer 94 to 99 style and I think it has a v8 and it runs like crap im 90 percent sure that its the throttle body 11:47

[@teamyatesc21]

Wow it was stuck pretty good! I’d say ones you get some parts on her she will run good! Can’t wait to see part 2!

[@lukeFugate]

Yeah I had some doubts at first, but I think it will run good now.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Evapo-rust will clean stuff like that throttle body.

[@lukeFugate]

Thanks! I'll pick some up. Sure worth a try.

[@dsteele27]

Wow, i've never seen corrosion like that on a throttle body - or anything else! Glad you got the motor unstuck, but i'd say that throttle body doesn't look too promising. Good luck with getting this thing going again.

[@lukeFugate]

Yeah it was pretty bad. I've been looking for a throttle body to replace it. I think it will run, just needs some TLC.

[@ArielleViking]

So kool, looking forward to the next video. 👍🏻

[@lukeFugate]

Thanks 👍I can't wait to hear it run.

[@cgentle19]

What’s with the background noise in part of the video where you’re putting the battery in? Otherwise great vid the noise was just a bit distracting

[@lukeFugate]

Yeah, not sure what that was. I had to go back and listen to it. Almost sounds like an animal or something.

[@cgentle19]

@@lukeFugate yea I couldn’t make it out either haha. Either way nice vid and I look forward to seeing it run again

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Sitting does nothing any good!

[@lukeFugate]

Very true. Especially with water running into the engine lol.

UA-cam slows your browser. It's not your ISP. GM sucks. I am a Fiord guy.;

[@lukeFugate]

GM has went downhill these days. They used to make good stuff.
