As soon as you showed that it had 289,000 miles I instantly knew that the transmission was out on it. The 1999-2006 4l80e transmissions were rated for 280,000 miles and the engines were rated for anywhere between 330,000-360,000 miles. Most of those years of trucks that are for sale in my area have 360,000 miles and are still running. Those years of trucks will probably last the owners the rest of their life. I have no interest in ever upgrading mine.
I just picked up an 01 2500hd 6.0, came across this video. I have no clue what the heck I'm doing or where to start in making it long-trip ready, but I enjoyed your diagnostic and problem solving skills. I learned a bit about injectors, spark plugs, wires, heck even the trip to a junk yard was nice. I'm trying to escape the city and get out of my comfort zone, you contributed to aiding me on that goal indeed
I’m glad to hear that man. If you every need any help feel free to shoot me an email and I’ll do my best to help! I appreciate the words of encouragement.
You know I love this because this is different most people do 90s cars or down so the fact that he actually did like an early 2000s is really neat in my opinion you don’t see that a lot
I am just trying to do anything I can get my hands on that I think will be a cool one to get going! If I don't like the car, I'm not going to mess with it.
I love those things, but they’re getting hard to find now! Are used to sell GM cars and trucks. If I remember right those eight ones from the factory use about a quart oil every thousand miles and that’s considered normal. Great motors, though they are thirsty, they can pull the house down.
In our area it is so hard to find the 8.1L vortecs. The car dealerships said that when one comes in on trade in, that it never gets to the lot, because the technicians in the back buy the truck, before the salesman can list it.
@@MyLifeThai371I love the truck, it’s extremely quiet and powerful… I drive it maybe once a week to keep the fluids good and flowing. I’m definitely gonna sell it lol 😂
You’ve earned a new subscriber. Keep up the great work! My only complaint is to try and render these vids in at least 720p and these videos will look flawless!
Hi! Loved the video! I'd probably use some heet in the tank the next time you fill up to try to help clear the lines out. Can't wait to see the next video!
I think it's always good to check your oil and check all your fluids before you even get started and trying to start something like that up especially after it's been setting for so long cuz it gives you more of an idea what could be wrong with it and what to really look forward to when you're going and getting into it
@@tylerclandry Hell yeah! I love videos like the ones you are creating! Keep up the hard work and you will go far! I just bought a 2005 Saturn Ion that has been sitting for 5 years. I found your video looking for tips on how to get the car running again lmao!
I noticed this truck has a transmission temperature gage. Also what is with two batteries? Usually is with a diesel engine being it requires two batteries unless it was used for towing a trailer. The single battery is on the left side of the truck.
My grandparents bought their 2000 3/4 ton new and it came with 2 batteries. It wasn't necessary, just a thing that GM was doing at the time since they didn't come with block heaters since they were fuel injection.
That’s a 2500 non HD I’ve got one too they are good trucks only difference in them is a 14 bolt 9.5 sf and over the rear axle it goes down from an 8” frame rail to a 6” or 6.5” idk which one but good trucks for sure
Good to know. I was just kind of guessing. I know a little bit about a lot of different stuff. Definitely not an expert on anything. One of the reasons I like making the videos is the knowledge I get from everyone in the comments! The car community is the best because everyone shares the knowledge they have.
@@franklinbrown8417 2500 non HD and 1500HD are mechanically identical but this is definitely a 2500 non hd because the 1500hd was only in a crew cab short bed
I like the video, I have a fair share of older gm trucks in the family so the sights of that truck are nothing new to me lol. Just maybe one suggestion I have would be to see if you can upload your videos in a higher resolution, 720p would be a big help in increasing the detail of your videos.
Same here. My mom owns the half ton model with 92,000 miles and the 3/4 ton model with 94,000 miles and I have a 2003 3/4 ton with 203,000 miles. My buddy owns a bunch and even one of his 03 duramaxs has 400,000 miles. These trucks just keep going, but my buddy said the drive train will probably outlast the bodies.
i just bought a 99 that sat for 5 years replacing all brake lines and all fuel lines and all brakes rotors and calipers. just to get it rolling and it runs.
The transmission went out. Some people back then didn't know how to change out a transmission even though you can just go to the junk yard and buy an engine for $800. Transmission $600. Transfer Case $400.
it’s a 99 light duty 2500. the 3rd door was only 99. and it’s a non HD or light duty having the same front end as a gals ton. the frame isn’t as big as an HD 2500
Dude I bought this truck last winter from some dump lot in kc for parts. The motor trans and t case were gone but robbed interior to go in my buddy’s truck.
I do not consider Kansas in the midwest nor rust belt. Kansas and other plain states use sand and ashes for roads. Not salt that gets mined from out under the great lakes.
I bought a 95 Silverado 5.7 tbi, wouldn’t run, tank was empty so I put 5 gallons in it, replaced plugs and wires, cap and rotor, ignition coil, battery, EGR, etc a bunch of shit. Lesson learned when I pulled the gas tank and the gas was a rusty brown, the fuel pump filter was so black it had clogged up, if I would have replaced the tank and the pump first I probably could have avoided spending $400 on random parts. Just a heads up for anyone trying to get a old truck running
Oooff this reminds me of one of my adventures there was a 99 Chevy an I got a shit tons of parts from it an the guy jus wanted it gone an if I could get that done he let me have anything off it
I think its a 99, atleast the 1500s I know for a fact unsure about the older "2500" non Hd models but its a 3 door, so its probably a 99, everything after 99 00-06 extended cabs were 4 door
Hey I got a 04 and the Trani use to slip and I let it sit about a year doesn't have a battery. Do you think it will start and if it will should j drain the fluids and where do I find the info. (21 and live with mom and younger sister need to get moving if ykwim)

I like the potential of the channel. Lose the VGG imitation and do your own thing. No need to try and copy another. Just be you.
Exactly
Yes! Be urself .. I noticed that too. He almost said (Help me understand turning the key) 😂😂
Yea your own thing woukd make a better watch
how do you know that isnt how he talks normally
Yea fool
Nice video, honestly that truck looks like it's in decent condition and a good project.
The wiggle is known across general motors, we call it the good ol' GM Wiggle!
ahh the good ol gm wiggle
Im so glad your wife gave you permission to do these videos. Its the path that a real man would take.
On a more serious note i did like the video
😂😂 thanks man.
Bad ass video man we need a part 2…

Thanks for the input. I’m still figuring this whole UA-cam thing out. I’ll start uploading in higher definition.
I thought I was the only one to notice it was in low quality. But good content.
Hi! Loved the video! I'd probably use some heet in the tank the next time you fill up to try to help clear the lines out. Can't wait to see the next video!
I think it's always good to check your oil and check all your fluids before you even get started and trying to start something like that up especially after it's been setting for so long cuz it gives you more of an idea what could be wrong with it and what to really look forward to when you're going and getting into it
I check the fluids on everything before we do anything. I just didn't show it on this video.
I always check the air filter too, before cranking a stored vehicle. Always seems to be that the mice eat through the air filter.
Keep doing your thing man you’ll be at the top one day! Love your video keep grinding u have a lot of potential
I appreciate that! New video out now!
Love this channel already please carry on but do it your own style

My 2001 4.3 was sitting 4 years and it started up as soon as I put a new battery turns on every time
It did then turned off I had to get a battery alternator fuel pump spark plugs wires fuel injectors fuel filter and it still ain’t working man 😔
@ damn 😭
@@JayyMoney-vr7nv no shit right 🤦🤣
@@jarrellfernandez9341is it not cranking or what?

Good! I'm Happy For You! Merry Christmas!
New sub. glad I found the channel. Keep em going the videos.
That compartment you opened sayin dang it no radio....well thats just simply a compartment, the radio is up higher on the dash in the bezel...
The spot for the radio was also empty. He was just commenting that it had a CD player, but no radio.
i just bought a 99 that sat for 5 years replacing all brake lines and all fuel lines and all brakes rotors and calipers. just to get it rolling and it runs.
Sick video, lots of potential for that truck for sure.
I really enjoyed the video man
One thing I don't understand why someone want to let a 2001chevrolet Silverado truck rot?
The transmission went out. Some people back then didn't know how to change out a transmission even though you can just go to the junk yard and buy an engine for $800. Transmission $600. Transfer Case $400.
I love that gen.
Good thing you can take the fuel rail individual apart mine in my car is one whole piece
If the key is still stuck, try wiggling the steering wheel. Mine does that a little and that usually works.
If you look at the voltage meter you are only getting around 10 amps you need about 15 to get it cranking smooth
I was wrong 😂
Thank you man, i really love this
Love the video man, keep up the hard work!
I would like to see a video of this truck getting out of he’s hold under her own power
Yep. It is only $600 for a junkyard transmission for it and then resell the vehicle.
i like watching these
Thats a 1500 front end on it but the rear leaf spring pack did look like a HD setup
Good job on the video man
I thought the video was over when you said thanks for watching 😂😂
The way it's just got left on the ground like that... How the hell ya gonna do that not even blocks or anything
it’s a 99 light duty 2500. the 3rd door was only 99. and it’s a non HD or light duty having the same front end as a gals ton. the frame isn’t as big as an HD 2500
Get it road worthy!
Wondering now how the trucks comn along
Dude I bought this truck last winter from some dump lot in kc for parts. The motor trans and t case were gone but robbed interior to go in my buddy’s truck.
The guy who bought the truck sent me an email asking about what all I did. I was like it’s all in the video. I never drove it lol
@@tylerclandry that truck was rough and the paint job was atrocious lol
The right way to put down a good old truck. Sucks it’s missing some things though.
Good job bro
I like the videos man you got a new subscriber, keep ‘em goin
Thanks for the sub! It’s nice to know you guys actually like what I’m doing.
Like the content. Going to give ya a sub. But pls drop the imitation VGG stuff . U don't need it

My 01 doesnt have that dust cover or 2 batteries. It is a 2500hd but still.
Good job
Is that really a 2500? Mine looks nothing like that under the hood or in the interior.
Thought full throttle was clear flood mode on this year Chevys
Couldn’t hurt it. Injector is already stuck open 😂
More go juice !!!!
@@tylerclandry no when the pedal is all the way down it won't start. Its a safety hazzard
You gained a new sub
How much can a 1999 Chevy Silverado 2500 tow (6.0 , 8 lug)
i would love to buy this truck for a project is it for sale?
Why not put some tires and wheels on the truck to help lift the truck up off the ground?
This guy definitely watches vice grip garage he says “we’re gonna do the right thing” lol
that’s definitely a 99 not a 01. The 99s only have 3 doors that open and the 99s 2500s didn’t have the HD grille
I have been wondering, what happened to the truck after this video?
Owner sold it. I know the motor was pulled to be put in something else. I don’t know where the truck went.
Excelente job.
cool dude, now show us a video of you restoring that bad boy haha
That stuff is coming in the future. We’re waiting on some sponsors right now. Cool stuff coming in the future!
@@tylerclandry nice, cant wait
Based off the hood and grill it looks like a heavy half
I liked your video but please stop acting like VGG
🎉 cool 😎 video
Looks like a 99 new body to me
1500 look at the short bumper pad
Dump gas down the intake that goes to the fuel system so it fires up real fast
Whats up with the Blazer in the background? it for sale? haha
Possibly. Send me an email. I’ll find out for you.
you forgot the battery she needs to be a special one with go handles...
hey, what camera do you use?
It is all shot on IPhone. I don’t really like cameras.
Where you get that old Dominion sweatshirt?
I found it at a garage sale for a dollar. Ballin lol
The Great Value Vice Grip Garage
You managed to wake a truck from her coma
Just needs some repairs and maybe an engine replacement and she can ride like the wind again
I like it. What’s the plan for the truck?
I got it running. Owner sold it as a parts truck to a guy who needs a heart for his drift car. Rest is being parted out.
I think its a 99, atleast the 1500s I know for a fact unsure about the older "2500" non Hd models but its a 3 door, so its probably a 99, everything after 99 00-06 extended cabs were 4 door
This is just a repair video. An LS sitting for 6 yrs, will it run? Bruh. Thing just need a battery and it'll go.
Hey I got a 04 and the Trani use to slip and I let it sit about a year doesn't have a battery. Do you think it will start and if it will should j drain the fluids and where do I find the info. (21 and live with mom and younger sister need to get moving if ykwim)
It’s not gonna start if you have the pedal shoved into the floor that cuts the fuel off
It started. lol.
Chevy Silverado 2500 hd 2002 6.0 i have one
Would it hurt my injectors to run some cleaner through it
No. It’s actually a really good idea. I like Seafoam or Berryman.
It’s a 1500hd, the 2500 have a raised hood

Looks like a tweeker special
