I’d like to see more service videos on this truck. Diff service or cleaning up anything leaking on this GMC. In short, making this thing mint again. Maybe some interior improvements/ mods as well. Lights, steering wheel etc….

I just acquired a 2005 sierra, and subsequently I started looking for videos on this vehicle, which is how I ran across your videos. And I’m definitely picking up on some good ideas and things to do with my truck. I’ve really been enjoying watching and learning some of the ins and outs of this truck. Thank you for the good information.

Nothing better than an old well maintained truck. 👍

When checking ball joints, try and jack from the lower control arm so that the suspension doesn’t droop all the way out. Get the tire a few inches off the ground and then slide a pry bar under it and pry up and down. Sometimes on an IFS jacking from the frame to check a ball joint and allowing the suspension to droop out will hide a sloppy ball joint. Just a suggestion.

Also, great way to identify worn steering components is to have a helper start the truck and wiggle the steering wheel back and forth with the tires on the ground while you crawl under and visually inspect each component. You’ll be able to easily see any play in steering components this way.

When I got my used truck, the first thing I did was detail the interior. I used some Mother’s VLR, and oh man it did an amazing job at removing all the caked on grim and crap. All the high touched areas like the steering wheel and column shifter felt so much better afterwards.

Buy your oil and filter at Walmart. Usually a bit cheaper there than at the part store.

I would tint the window and leave it love the stock look on these trucks

I have a 2006 Sierra 4WD also. Awesome truck since I bought it new. Get ready to pull your instrument cluster, replace the stepper motors and resolder all the cracked solder joints. They pretty much all go bad. There is also a steering shaft clunk issue (you will feel it at low speeds going through parking areas), on these that is easily remedied by packing grease into the steering shaft tube that the shaft goes through. Last year of the great trucks! After that they started with the cylinder management nonsense.

Love the truck. I have a 2020 trailboss and love it. But the look of this truck will always be timeless. Inside and out! Can't wait to see what you do to it.

You tightening the lug nuts in a circle bothered me 😂 clean truck though. Will be getting one myself here pretty soon

Getting my first truck (second vehicle) on Monday man I’m excited as hell. It’s a well kept 2001 GMC Sierra and the dude has all the maintenance done on it

[philvictor]

Don’t forget to change the rear differential fluid. And front also. And transfer case

[tylergarner]

Did anyone not notice he used a filter wrench to tighten the new filter 🤣

[chadhickey]

keep this one decent. dont raise the front end w/o raising the rear and make a squatter out of it and use hot wheels tires and wheels! these old trucks are great!

Am I the only one who saw the picture of the the girl when he said "There's about to be some nasty, nasty stuff come out of this joint." ?🤣🤣

Haven’t been active on your channel for the last few months, I’ve been off and on. But this GMC is making me come back and not letting me miss not one vid. In fact I still watch the old lbz vids. Love this body style.

[whales]

Had the exact same truck, loved it, nothing ever gave me any trouble. This 2014 Sierra I have now is a piece of junk, nothing but constant problems.

[shawnmay]

I miss my 99. No where near as clean but still a good truck. Take care if it and it'll take care of you. 😊

Checking the lugnuts what a great idea sometimes the most simplest things are overlooked and then the most simplest things that are overlooked are usually the ones that caused the most catastrophic accidents

[Geoffreys-adventures]

That is a Good looking truck. I have a 2003 chevy silverado 1500 5.3. I enjoy it.
