Agreed. It's all about how many gears now. 10 speed automatics.. 😑 I mean c'mon. 8 gears (if geared right) should be more than enough. Even 6 gears. If spaced accordingly (Civic Si)
Love seeing these vids with the rare - old trucks. Nice to see not everyone just sticking 20k into a new truck. And actually buying collector older ones
@@Kernfederate I’ve had to put in new upper control arms, pitman arms, tire rods, rear brakes rebuilt, new clutch, flywheel, transmission mounts, pilot bearing, rear main seal, front and rear pinion seals, distributor cap, and plug wires, and that’s just the mechanical stuff.

I factory ordered a 2000 Silverado standard cab shortbed sportside (stepside) black 2WD 4.3 5 speed 3.08 axle ratio. LS trim.....only had it for 5 years but put 146,000 miles on it due to long commute....hydroplaned on a wet road one day and slid off the road into a tree which totaled the truck......wish I still had that truck....got 22-23 mpg on the highway with a 26 gallon tank so it had nice range.
@@danieltrevino4441 Not common at all if you have the short bed, regular cab, 5-speed stick, with the old cast iron 4.3 V6. Mine is an '05 that I bought new and still have. Everywhere I go, guys ask me if it's for sale. You just rarely ever see that combination of options which makes them more collectible.
This makes me regret ever getting rid of my 2000 Silverado ext cab W/T with the 4.8 and 4x4. It was a total rust bucket, to be sure, but once it got all new brake lines and rebuilt front suspension, I could always rely on it to get me from Point A to Point B come rain, shine, or especially snow. It even got me from Wisconsin to Ohio and back TWICE without skipping a beat. Traded it to my friend for his 1998 Tahoe, and I kick myself in the ass almost every day since then because it wasn't worth it by a long shot... I can only hope to find one like this again someday.
I just picked up an 01 2wd just like yours, mines got a clean body and box, bad wiring harness, seems like you get clean bodies with bad wires or bad bodies with clean harnesses
Great pickups - my everyday is a '97 GMC 2500 with 270k miles. Never given me any trouble. Smooth ride and great interior - better than many of the new ones. If a guy can get his hands on a low mileage '96 - '06 1500/2500, he should go for it...
Just got a 96 Chevy Silverado love this thing got it for 1400 and put in about 3500 before tint big list of things that’s been done 282k on the dash and still running great for 27 year old truck
I have a 93 5.7L with that same 5 speed. Thing has been bullet proof, great old truck. Mine had a bearing noise but was just a throw out bearing chirping.
Yeah unfortunately it sounds like this one has a little more than just a throw out bearing noise. Runs and shifts great though have had no problems yet.
@@TyBrink These transmissions need fluid changes every few years, if you don't the seals wear out and it'll leak out and leave you stranded. That's not an un-normal thing for manual transmissions, but it is important to keep up with it. I know there's a lot of differing opinions out there about changing transmission fluid, but trust me, and you'll get 500k+ miles out of it.
Please let me know when you have the camaro style shifter boot setup again! Starting the search for a zf6 trans to convert my truck. I will have to try and find the 03-06 center console setup as well.
I have the same truck (2000 w/ 4.8 & nv3500), except it's the 2wd version. I got it in 2007, and she still runs great in 2022. In the last two years, I ended up installing a 3" body lift and a 5" front and 3" blocks with airbags in the rear which really lifted and leveled it out. I have 33's on it now too (I bought some 20" take off's from a 2020 AT4). I may put 35's or 37's on just for fun in the future. I've driven it all over the United States, and I'd have to check to see how many miles it has. It's still my daily driver. I might buy a new truck one of these days, but it wont be a trade in. I'll probably keep mine for as long as I can. It's really funny, I have a great job and career and do very well for myself even though I am still relatively young. All of my coworkers drive really nice luxury vehicles, but I'm the guy still cruising around in my old '2000 chevy stick shifting silverado. Mobile 1 full synthetic every time.
Man that's awesome. I have an '05 short bed, single cab with the 5-speed, and 4.8 V8. Bought it new in '05 and still have it and it still looks nearly new. These older Chevy trucks were really, really good. I've had mine 17 years now and I'll keep it as long as I can still drive. These days, it seems like nearly everywhere I go, some young guy wants to buy it from me. But there is no way I would ever sell it. Oh, and I also have only used Mobil 1 synthetic in mine since it was new, and change it every 3k miles even though you can go longer, I don't do that. My truck has 164k miles on it now, and still doesn't use oil, or leak anywhere.
Yup Ive done many of these swaps. I did a 4.8 & when I swapped a 5.3 man forget traction in 2wd in the first couple gears....it ripped! It was sooo much faster than the auto!
The 396 is my favorite engine my dad had one when I was little it was a 396 5 speed manual four-wheel drive best truck ever bought try to find one in today's world under a hundred thousand miles in good shape good luck
Clayton Whitacre LOL i used to try to get my dad mad while he was driving so that he would drive aggressively, looking back it probably wasn’t the best idea but oh well
Well dang man, $35 for a new exhaust is insane ya definitely can't beat that! So my 08 yukon denali had the weird flex joint pipe rust in two and it would've cost me like $1,100-1,200 to get a new oem exhaust but instead I paid $400 for an MBRP Installer series performance exhaust which sounds absolutely perfect not loud and has just enough rumble to know I've got a 6.2 LS under my right foot and my 03 Sierra reg cab rwd 4.8 manual has some crazy exhaust on it that'll pierce your ears if I redline it smh this sounds great I may just have to check around for a stock exhaust for it but it does also have a cam and intake on it with a tune so changing back to stock exhaust could make it run like crap...
Very nice, I wonder if you still have that truck. I have an '05 silverado short bed, single cab, 5-speed. I bought it new in '05 and still have it. Great looking truck and I'll never get rid of it, still looks almost new and I take very good care of it. These days it's getting to where almost everywhere I go, some guy wants to buy it from me. Lol But nope, sorry, not for sale. Mine is silver with the dark gray interior. It has 163k miles on it, but you'd never know it. Still runs and drives perfectly.
I just bought a 2000 I wrecked my 04 Silverado hopped on Craigslist and there was a 2000 4.8 5 speed listed 4 hours ago in my small town! I called the guy and he said someone’s coming to look at it in 2 hours I said I’ll be there in 15 minutes with the cash😂
Currently the owner of this truck drove 5 hours to get it last year, plan for it is to paint the front end TY brink put on and fix the rust on the cab corners and rockers and put a new bed on it. Already put new tires and rims a clutch on it.
The 4.3 is a better engine for high horsepower. They are almost identical to the 5.3, but just have smaller pistons and displacement, which results in thicker cylinder walls. This allows the engine to be able to handle more boost reliably
4.3 was based of the 5.7 350 old tech now if he would of taken an LS based engine and made a v6 or used the atlas 4.2 that was rated at 295hp in 06 would of been cool and the 4.2 will do work my dad had pulled a 850 gallon water tank with his trailblazer for last 4 years and it's going strong
You should put a 03+ steering wheel on it. And also really excited to see a video where you take all the trim off and put on stock taillights. You videos are awesome
I like the 03 wheel as well. Might have to do that sometime but we'll see. I'm itching to rip all the stuff off the outside too but unfortunately I don't have a set of taillights for it yet. I'm thinking about putting 03 taillights on it too.

@@Mr.Beastforpresident I actually picked up a really clean 99-02 wheel from a junkyard just because it was so nice so I still haven't decided if I will put an 03 wheel on!
The length of the stick has nothing to do with the transmission being, or not being sloppy. The trans does not know how long the stick is. I don't know where that idea comes from.
Would I be able to keep a long shifter if I swapped a nv4500 or 3500 on a 5.3 ls or a ls3 6.2 cause I'd rather keep the long shifter but just change the shift knob to a custom pistol grip shifter
What trans you have in that? I have a 94' 5.7 with a NV3500 in it. Went out on me last year. Found a good warrentied rebuilt online. But that trans was difficult for me for awhile. Lol. Was just curious what your trans is. Nice truck. 👍
I ordered a new pedal assembly from the Chevy dealer two years ago. It might be harder to get now, but a couple of years ago it was no problem. Installing it though, was a pain in the rear.
Speakin of manual trannys I miss the ole 3 speed on the column that some old school trucks have. On the Chevy fullsize pickups 1987 was the last year for the manual column shift & 1948 was the first year.
Terrible set up! 1st gear was too high, and they were hard on clutches. Top gear was to low, and they were guzzlers. The new 6 speeds are the way to go. You get a nice low 1st, and a nice tall 6th. Now if you don't know how to drive, all bets are off. I'm a driver trainer. That's where I love to help!
Totally based on opinion. If you want to drive a manual truck then it's probably worth it, if not then there are a million other trucks to choose from with an auto.
I’m close to getting a v8 1995 Chevy Silverado 1500. Just like this but with the stepside and not a 4x4, nor a zl1. How much do you fill the tank with?
Hey outta curiosity approx what did the entire overall cost of the 04 swap cost I know a lot of variables but what did it cost you for everything to get it done
I'm not sure about straight pipes, but that's just my opinion, if you like the idea of straight pipes check out the spintech mufflers. They have a nice mellow tone when cruising and steady throttle like running down the highway, but when u want it to be loud and you open it up a little she roars.. sounds great and the best part is there isn't any packing material in it just walls and they are designed to make the flow swirl like a tornado which will help with back pressure and when actual driving for mpg you will notice it seems to really help out I swapped out my flowmasters for them a while back and will never go back my truck seems to really like them and my gas hand doesnt seem to wanna stay on empty the whole time anymore.. just my honest opinion to each their own.
No! Please never do that. When you downshift, match the rpms to the next lower gear, and shift down. So you go from 5th to 4th, then to 3rd, then 2nd, and only go to 1st gear when you are almost stopped. If you don't do it this way, it puts enormous strain on the synchronizers and will damage the gearbox. Basically you need to only downshift to a lower gear if you are going slow enough for that particular gear. For example, I would downshift from 5th to 4th at 50mph, then 4th to 3rd at 30mph, then 3rd to 2nd at 20mph, then 2nd to 1st when you're almost stopped (or around 10mph is ok). Do it this way and the trans will shift very smoothly without damaging it.
Exactly! And you're right, it's loads of fun, and lots of scratches and cuss words to replace it! I've done it, TWICE! And both times it sucked big time! There's a guy on the internet somewhere who manufactures a custom-made, all steel unit, which includes the clutch pedal, and that thing will never break, obviously. But he was asking well over three hundred bucks for it so I didn't buy it yet.
Can someone enlighten me on the bearing noise he’s talking about? I got a 01 5.3 that’s got that noise but was never able to pinpoint what it exactly was but what bearing is it?
It’s not right they don’t offer manuals in the 150/1500 trucks these days. Simple, durable, and can last forever.
Agreed. It's all about how many gears now. 10 speed automatics.. 😑 I mean c'mon. 8 gears (if geared right) should be more than enough. Even 6 gears. If spaced accordingly (Civic Si)
with 10 speeds the companies are better able to control who can provide service. kind of like removing the headphone jack its a money grab
The reason why is because it's actually cheaper to make most of the trucks and cars with automatic's than half and half.

I got a 1999 chevy tahoe 4 door 5speed 5.7 vortech 4x4 factory and it's a z71 pretty cool ride
My Dream Truck 😃😲😀
My dream setup would be a Tahoe with a t56 or this manual and a pro charger with a 4 inch lift and 35 inch tires
Was that a stock 4x4 5speed truck? Of so, could I please have the Vin so I could lookup the option and see what I need to buy to convert mine?
Is this the stock trans or a swapped one? I wanna swap my 01 4.8 with a 4L60 but I don’t know where to start?
This is the original transmission that came in the truck. Your best bet would be to try to find a parts truck to swap everything over.
Really Kool rare truck you got there, shame more like yours were not built by GM, I'd buy this off you in a heartbeat.👍
It's for sale, but I'm guessing you're not actually serious. If you are here's the video.

Wow! Excelente
Finding a trans is only 1 part. The pedal assembly is another. That always seems to be the hard part
I ordered a new pedal assembly from the Chevy dealer two years ago. It might be harder to get now, but a couple of years ago it was no problem. Installing it though, was a pain in the rear.
Nice.
I hate how close the gears are in these trucks, i always catch myself going for 3rd and hitting 5th instead
I have a Silverado 2005 ext cab ... 4.8LS and I would like to make it manual, which Transmission do I need to get for the swap
Speakin of manual trannys I miss the ole 3 speed on the column that some old school trucks have. On the Chevy fullsize pickups 1987 was the last year for the manual column shift & 1948 was the first year.
Terrible set up! 1st gear was too high, and they were hard on clutches. Top gear was to low, and they were guzzlers. The new 6 speeds are the way to go. You get a nice low 1st, and a nice tall 6th. Now if you don't know how to drive, all bets are off. I'm a driver trainer. That's where I love to help!
We’re did u get this truck I need one just like it
I’m planning to buy one 6.0 4x4 5 speed is it worth it.?
Totally based on opinion. If you want to drive a manual truck then it's probably worth it, if not then there are a million other trucks to choose from with an auto.
Sweet love it
🙌😀 lovely!!!
You make it look so easy😆 all I need to get better at is taking off..
Master the point where the clutch starts grabbing and you'll get it figured out in no time.
I can almost hear those cam-ground pistons slapping around when it first started, lol
Engine purs like a sewing machine, transmission is what's making all the noise.
Ty Brink Oh okay. I know with my 5.3 (with yours being a 4.8 idk) there’s a pretty substantial “knock” when it first starts.
@@Legounivercerocks101 my other Silverado, 04 with 4.8 175k miles does have the piston slap on cold start but I haven't noticed it on this truck yet.
You are short shift into that truck you need to share that around 2,500 RPM
I’m close to getting a v8 1995 Chevy Silverado 1500. Just like this but with the stepside and not a 4x4, nor a zl1. How much do you fill the tank with?
It has a 26 gallon tank and takes about 70 bucks to fill with $3 gas
I found a 4.8L Silverado with a 5 speed manual for $2900 gonna negotiate to $2000
You are shifting just a wee bit too early you should shift around 2500 rpm is it is that truck the 396
Yeah I saw that too
Would it be possible to put a manual in a 02 avalanche??? Been looking can’t find anyone doing it.
Yes I'm sure it would be possible. I saw on some forum a guy put a zf6 in his avalanche, but I'm sure an nv4500 would work too.
Hey outta curiosity approx what did the entire overall cost of the 04 swap cost I know a lot of variables but what did it cost you for everything to get it done
For the center console swap?
Have you figured how many ext cab 4.8 5 speed trucks were produced?
I haven't, I wish I knew how to look that stuff up somewhere online.
Where is the location I need the truck manual
WHERE CAN I FIND A FLY WHEEL FOR A 5 SPEED SILVERADO 12561756 N GM DISCONTINUED IT
You should have straight pipes that truck
I'm not sure about straight pipes, but that's just my opinion, if you like the idea of straight pipes check out the spintech mufflers. They have a nice mellow tone when cruising and steady throttle like running down the highway, but when u want it to be loud and you open it up a little she roars.. sounds great and the best part is there isn't any packing material in it just walls and they are designed to make the flow swirl like a tornado which will help with back pressure and when actual driving for mpg you will notice it seems to really help out I swapped out my flowmasters for them a while back and will never go back my truck seems to really like them and my gas hand doesnt seem to wanna stay on empty the whole time anymore.. just my honest opinion to each their own.
They naturally have slight pull to the right.
This pulls a lot more than slight in my opinion. I haven't even checked tire pressures or anything so ill I'll have to look into it.
what is the toggle switch for? I know it was like that when you bought it.
Haven't looked into it yet. I flipped it and it didn't do anything that's all I know Haha.
Lets say your on 4th or 5th and you downshift...you go back to 1st correct?
No! Please never do that. When you downshift, match the rpms to the next lower gear, and shift down. So you go from 5th to 4th, then to 3rd, then 2nd, and only go to 1st gear when you are almost stopped. If you don't do it this way, it puts enormous strain on the synchronizers and will damage the gearbox. Basically you need to only downshift to a lower gear if you are going slow enough for that particular gear. For example, I would downshift from 5th to 4th at 50mph, then 4th to 3rd at 30mph, then 3rd to 2nd at 20mph, then 2nd to 1st when you're almost stopped (or around 10mph is ok). Do it this way and the trans will shift very smoothly without damaging it.
Go Broncos!!!
I just sold mine single cab 4/4 standard 4.8
I did not know you could still get a stick ?
Last produced in 2007 classic for chevy silverado.
Wait until the master cyl breaks off the firewall.......then you'll have fun.
Exactly! And you're right, it's loads of fun, and lots of scratches and cuss words to replace it! I've done it, TWICE! And both times it sucked big time! There's a guy on the internet somewhere who manufactures a custom-made, all steel unit, which includes the clutch pedal, and that thing will never break, obviously. But he was asking well over three hundred bucks for it so I didn't buy it yet.
Is yours a 4.8 LS Base or a 5.3 LS Base
4.8, they didn't come with the 5.3 and manual transmission
Can someone enlighten me on the bearing noise he’s talking about? I got a 01 5.3 that’s got that noise but was never able to pinpoint what it exactly was but what bearing is it?
The bearing I'm talking about is in the manual transmission, so it wouldn't be the same for your truck.
Where do u find all these center consoles i want one for mine but i can't find any
This one came from a u pull it junkyard less than an hour away from me. There were a few of them there actually.
Hershel Jones ive found the charcol grey consoles to be the hardest to find
The dark gray ones are harder to find, but actually the junkyard I got this one had a couple of each color. Light gray, dark gray and even tan.
One i need is tan actually
I see several on Facebook market place.
Ah, yes. You have to put a manual transmission In every new generation of silverado.
Still waiting for my 5 speed manual ford ranger to sky rocket in price
I’d love to own that truck
What burning is making that sound my 05 is making it
Its a bearing noise, not burning. I never knew for sure, it could have been the throw out bearing, pilot bearing or just the clutch in general.
Yea i know my phone is junk thanks man
Hey what year is that Silverado
2000
How Rare are V8 Manual GMT800 Trucks ??
I don't have a clue, I always wished I had a way to look up the numbers of how many certain kind of trucks were built.
Ty Brink same they’d make a killer street truck did GMT100 trucks come with the 8.1L Bigg blocks?
Whats the name of the transmission ?
I have an '05 Chevy truck with 5-speed and it's a Muncie-Gertrag gearbox.
How much do you want
