Such a cool spec of a truck and has the turbo 6.5 what a rare find! Great approach to reviving it too! Watching you flat-tow it all the way home was pretty funny.
I can tell you were just like your little boy with your pops! That little man is going to grow up just like his pops wrenching all day!! Good on you dad
You know it, my friend! I grew up in my dad’s lawnmower shop…sticking coins in the mufflers when I was little😂 Apparently dad was shocked when he started one up that I had “fixed.” I sure wanna do right by my boy, though. Give him a set of good life skills. Appreciate you for the comment:) God bless!
I wasn't to excited about your video (you didn't do nothing much to get truck running) but when I realized your my Brother in Christ..That made it acceptable 🙏👍
Might have been nickel and diming someone and they got tired of putting money into it regularly, or maybe they upgraded from this truck to a better wrecker or even a rollback possibly. Or got out of the need for a dually in general. When they are double the size generally they are double the price to fix.
Just discovered your channel. Funny you mention growing up in a lawn mower shop, my dad did and I did as well until about 2020 when we closed up shop for other ventures. Amazing how those “simple” mechanics learned growing up still carrys into cars and other things many years later. Subscribed!

I have one of these in my driveway I'm bringing back..paid a grand for it the guy got rid of it because it wouldn't start. 1999 GMC K3500 dually crew 4x4 6.5. Ridiculously solid rig.
Amazing video! I love the truck and appreciate a dad that is willing to show their kids how to work on stuff. Gives them a skill set they will need in the future.
Congrats on a great find. Imo those rims would look nice in semi-gloss black. But dude, I can't believe that you towed it home with a rope. I was just waiting for the mayhem to ensue.
Nice vid! It was good seeing that nasty fuel come out before it had the chance ran thru the injectors lol. If you haven’t put a cover on the master cylinder already, definitely do that, you don’t wanna be driving around loosing brake fluid on bumps😂
I used to have a 98 suburban with 3 row seating with a 6.5 top end and 6.2 bottom end . It's was slow but great on fuel. Made gobs of tq. Ultimate dad mobile. Family trips where great in it. I was rear ended twice in it In a months time.
Reminds me of how i found my 93 sierra. Poor girl was given to my boss to bring down a repair bill and i ended up towin it 30 miles to my bosses other shop. It sat for 2 weeks before he gave me first right of refusal and i paid him that day for her. Fresh battery and starter, drove her home that night. Shes beat up but shes still fightin
i'm surprised at how easy it seemed to get it to run, but i don't know much about engines. the pressure washing is satisfying, yet painful when you see all that paint come off
I never really see 4 doors anymore its always 2 doors, I know collectors like the 2 doors but to me the 4 doors are special, my dad was self employed repo agent for my entire childhood into my teenage years, he had 2 4 door 90’s 7.3 f350’s but never found a dodge/chevy 4 door, which he always wanted Thank you for saving that truck, The real loss is the person who parked it, a little work and maintenance and clearly it would’ve kept going strong!!
@@GrubNGas My dad had bought the equivalent to this truck with the extended cab and a tow bed to find out it needed the injector pump and had no title, Unfortunately he never did drive it because the person (family member) he bought it from had junked it when he went to pick it up in 2016 when he no longer needed a title to register it. Sad story for that old truck
My neighbor had the same truck. unfortunately I wasn’t in a position to start a project as the truck needed a lot of work. I always hoped that truck went to a good home.
Just discovered your channel. Love the video with this beautiful dually. I've got the same truck but mine is blue. Got the 6.5 turbodiesel. Hope you do some more videos on this truck. I subscribed to your channel
Nice work Sir! I can't believe even in the 2000's that some idiot is still drilling holes in their door and running those big stupid three post trailer mirrors! So many better options these days. It's not the 70's anymore.
I love the find!! My big question is what was wrong with it that made it worth giving up on a truck, It was likely in good condition body wise when parled under the tree. Pluss it has a newish wrecker hook installed. What's the story of it getting parked?
Thanks for the comment! I think the previous owner had to leave for a while and didn’t take the truck with him. I don’t know the whole story, so I’d hate to add bad details, lol!
😸just saw another video where a guy brought a all black 35000 just like this one but the truck had sat in a barn for 12 years all it needed was a fuel pump the tires still looked good on that truck but they probably swap them out later 😸
Did you drain the fuel filter bowl? It has a petcock on the front of the engine near the alternator/ oil fil cap the filter bowl is a fuel water separator
lovely ol 6.5, wicked rig! PMD (pump mounted driver) is the first thing to go, check to see if the stock one is still mounted on the side of the IP. If it is, buy a spare and relocate it. It is likely shot and you'll see some weird stuff happen. Also, that turbo is far too loud for a stock turbo, either its an aftermarket HX35-40 or you have a decent leak somewhere
@@GrubNGas You are welcome! These engines are stout, if you love ‘em right. my 6.5 has no cats, stock turbo, 4” straight pipe all the way back and it doesn’t have the turbo whistle like that. Perhaps there is a slight difference in the years as mine is a 94, so i could be wrong especially with the stock exhaust. Good to hear about the PMD! they are still not fully reliable even when relocated, so i suggest having a spare on hand at all times if you’re going to run this rig. Can’t wait for more content on this pig
@@HeresMinx I’ll bet that straight pipe sounds beefy! This one would greatly benefit from a 4” and straight turbo-back. Seems like a great engine, and one that’ll last of cares for. Thanks for the tip on the PMD.
@@GrubNGas oh she’s a screamer that’s for sure! not the best on long trips because of the drone, but it really opens up this motor and allows it to really give you its full potential. My 4” is a diamond eye, but they only make their crossover pipe now. I think summit racing sells a full 4” kit all the way back. You are welcome! Always up for giving advice on these motors, not many people willing to be patient with these things these days, they can be very finicky but they will treat you right.

i always wonder why someone would park a running truck and just let it rot
It’s a good question.
@@pineappleexpress793yea i can understand that
@@pineappleexpress793 that’s a sad thought…our farmers should get paid way more for what they do. I have great respect for farmers.
Maybe the fuel pump went out and they couldn't figure it out.

What a awesome find!!! You scored there!!!
Thanks, friend!
Them engines are awesome, glad to see it alive.
Thanks, friend! I’m sure glad it’s running again!
Good find on this one, such a gnarly looking truck.
Right? It was a rare sight, was really glad to find it!
She cleaned up nicely. 😊
She did! Was really surprised!
I love these gmt 400's. I'm new here. This truck got me to sub, lol. She deserves to be put back to her old glory state.
So glad you’re here, and I agree! This truck is worthy of a second life! Have a wonderful day!
Love those 6.5s I rebuilt one with all the aftermarket performance goodies dropped it in a lifted k3500 ccLb dually was a fun truck.
I’ll bet that was a beast!!!
I like the body style and paint and am impressed it didn't give ya a bigger fight to run right on man
Thanks, friend! Yeah, I was blown away by how quickly I was able to get it running. Thankful!
LOVE will it run videos, they are very popular. I enjoyed the content!
Thanks, friend! I hope to have many more in the future!

Making me miss my old 6.5. The one vehicle I wish I never got rid of
They are classics now. This one’s for sale!
ThTs a ready to go business right there.

that thing is badass. start by relocating that pmd and that thing will run forever

I got 98 Silverado k3500 dully with 6.5 Detroit I love that slow ass turbo diesel does the same 60 pulling nothing or 30,000 lbs like nothing
I’ll bet that is a sweet ride! Slow and steady wins the tow race!
Nice find. If you plan on keeping the truck.Check the harmonic balancer and the balancer pully for missing rubber,dry rot, and cracks.
Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated!
Grub n gas did you get information and is the Chevy Silverado from 2000 still for sale
It’s still for sale. I put the FB marketplace link in the video description:)
Leaving the fuel filter cover off can be a nightmare getting rust and water in the injectors you will probably be changing fuel filters for awhile
I had a feeling it would be a problem. Thanks for the feedback!
What a sick truck
Thanks, friend!
Id love to get my hands on an old truck like that for cheap
They just don’t build em like they used to:)
Did you drain the fuel filter bowl? It has a petcock on the front of the engine near the alternator/ oil fil cap the filter bowl is a fuel water separator
I drained it in an unorthodox way, lol…when I changed the fuel pump I drained it via the line on the outlet side.
