The 88-98 c/k (GMT400 platform) are by far my favorite trucks of all time. I have owned several of them and I am happy to say that I recently bought another one this year. They are rocksolid and fun to drive the only thing that I would mention is make sure that you keep an eye on the oil and transmission fluids as they are prone to leaking from the pans so as long as you keep them full of fluid they’ll keep running. Get one from AZ, or southern NV as they usually have little to no rust. There are so many aftermarket parts and modifications to make the truck exactly how you want it.

I had a 2008 Avalanche and could not afford it but I do not regret getting rid of it as I am happier with my 94. Mine has 171,000 miles and no rust. It does need a paint job and I plan on painting it some day. It drives as good as my newer truck did and uses less oil. These trucks are very popular and I even get compliments on mine every now and then. The 305 has enough power for what I need. I enjoyed your video.

Interesting. I have a 2016 Silverado. Drove it off the lot with 9 miles. Now has 25,000 miles. And the bed and bed rails are all scratched, dented, and well broken in (and yes, the liner is sprayed). I also have a tool box bolted right through the bed rails. And I've towed cars, lumber, lawn equipment, snow equipment, ladders, etc. I've loaded my bed with soil, mulch, tree limbs, and plants. And I'm not afraid to push a snow bank out of my way to pull into my driveway. I'm also not afraid to get it dirty or muddy, but still wash it once every month or so, and polish, wax and seal the paint twice a year. This was after I traded my 2003 with 262,000 miles in excellent condition. And I pushed that truck to the limit as well. Oh yeah. And I paid only $32K for mine after hours of negotiating. And my '03 was $26K brand new. So I think I did well. So don't worry, there's still dudes out there that use their trucks as trucks. And I'm one of them. However, there are tons of dudes that shouldn't have a truck because they don't use them as trucks. Know who they are? The ones with the hydraulic tonneau covers. Because any truck guys knows those things are a waste of time when trying to load the bed.

The body style is very desirable and the drive train is the best ever out of the light duty trucks. I have a 99 Tahoe 90s body style I bought from a old guy for $2000, 180k on it and zero rust and it runs like new.

I've worked on my share of Ford and GM vehicles and GM is almost always a heck of a lot easier to work on than Ford. Case in point; it took me 2 solid evening just to replace the spark plugs on my F-250 because the idiot engineers decided to put the plugs under the coil packs, which are directly under the fuel rail, which is under the intake, which is literally under the windshield despite having a 4 foot long hood! On a GM pickup, plugs are a ~30 min job if you don't break anything.

I have an 08 Silverado and has the 4L60E Trans in it. Going on 225,000 and still not touched. A good majority of these trans failures comes as a result of poor servicing. Depending on how much you do with them, 60,000 is the norm for fluid and filter changing. The more you haul and tow the sooner you have to service them. They will last but most did not maintain them properly.
@GeraltOfRivia99

actually its a well known fact that the parts inside the 4l60e are just not built strong. i cant count how many people have had to replace there trans at only 200 000kms not miles but kms. ive seen some go for as long as 250 000 miles but very rare and you have to baby it. there are much stronger components that people usually use when they rebuild them to address there problems. ive got over 220 000 miles on my 03 f150 trans and everything on the drivetrain is still all origional and going strong. 2 valve tritons are great engines only got to watch for the 5.4 and make sure you reef down your sparkplugs good. should overtorque them on all engine sizes though to be safe.

The 4L60E's have a few well known common failure points like the sun shell, the accumulators, and TCC. This is fairly well known and most of these mechanical problems date back to the older non-computer controlled version of these trans., the 700R4's.

I owned a boat yard in the 1990's, I had 1990 Chevy 1500 Silverado 4x4 with the 6 foot short bed with a horsepower rating of 190 if I remember correctly. We were new to the business and the truck was to say the least not comparable to heavier duty trucks that other people were using in the business. That being said, the truck never broke down and was dead reliable. Brakes had to be changed every six months due to heavy towing and quite often towed our largest boat and best seller which weighed 9500 plus the trailer which was another few thousand pounds. This truck was pushed to all limits. Six years later after getting out of the business the transmission and rear differential had to be rebuilt and I couldn't believe both lasted that long.. At a price tag of $16,000 dollars at the time this truck paid for itself many times over and was sold for $6000. Both Chevy and Ford made these trucks aerodynamic looking; I am no engineer but I don't understand why today they have these gigantic boxed shaped front ends. I wish the styling today was a little more reminiscent of the trucks from the 1990's and of course with modern day touches.

Absolutley these trucks are great, Im on my 5th one, only because one got smashed and one , I just found a better one and sold the older one. Still have 3 of them, actually 4th one rusted out for parts. First one 262k mileage when I sold it after accident, second one, got it at 150 with brand new engine in it for 4800 in 2012. I think previous owner didnt change old or towed something and blew engine, still running it after crash, easy fix on front. Got one with 105k in Cali for 2200 in 2016, still running it. Got last one in cali for 800 bucks, towed a car acrosss united states with it, still running. freakin awesome. There are certain things about these vehicles that I have learned, I run the Suburbans, actually, same truck. One thing is if you have any tuneup type issues, immediately suspect fuel pump, cut a hole in bed area for suburban and drop new unit in there without dropping tank, works great, gotta use a wheel cutter though and dont cut too deep cause get into lines. stay shallow. They lose radiators, alternators, starters, power steering lines, and ac switches, and blower motors and compressors. They also go through front brake pads regularly, get the good ones. I use them in the snow, and with the southern trucks or cali ones, reset the clock to 2019 on rust. New headlights are cheap on Ebay. They are easy to work on too, plenty of room pover the Blazers I had previously, and Jimmys. Gotta climb in engine compartment. Also spider units go out too, but I can swap one in about 90 minutes now.

I spent $2,300 for a motor and transmission from a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500Hd which is a 6.0 liter with the Allison transmission with the transfer case. It taken my dad and me two whole months to get the truck going and I got 18 mpg average but since I put a six inch lift from bds and 35s. The motor and transmission already have 254,345 and still going. Love the body and still have her with two new trucks
