The silverado badge was from the factory. The trim level was “silverado”

[jongeitner]

I am the original proud owner of a 99 Chevy Tahoe with the 5.7 engine. It just clocked 580, 000 miles. Other than some minor repairs (fuel pumps, water pumps, radiator) there has never been a problem. It looks and sounds like the day I drove it off the show room floor. I change the oil every 5, 000 miles with a good synthetic oil. Best vehicle ever!

Chevy (or GMC) never put headers on CK trucks . I know, because I was working at GM dealerships all through the 90s. The manifolds were all cast iron. They were excellent trucks though.

[sunray]

I still have my 94 chevy silverado, I bought it new and it still running great with 230k miles.

[Barneyrubble]

Every homeowner should have a beater pickup truck.

[effend]

Silverado was actually the top trim on the C/K pickups back in the day. And YES! GM actually knew how to build pickup trucks back in 1994.

[joshbacon]

This is from back when GM used to make good, solid trucks - a time before those penny-pinching bean counters started ruining GM.

[nickk]

I've had a lot of these trucks and all lasted over 350k on originals engines, 5.7 350 and a 454. Silverado is the trim level and C denotes 2 wheel drive and K denotes a 4 wheel drive truck

True story for you, Scotty! My neighbor got cancer and died. (Very sad) A few years later, his wife traded in their Lexus SUV for a new Jeep Cherokee. I asked her why and she said for better driving in our Colorado snow. I told her she should've sold me the Lexux. A few months ago, she told me her "check engine" light came on (the Cherokee is only 2 years old) so I told her to go to the dealer and pray it's covered under warranty. It's NOT and they want $4, 000 to fix it. I told her to get rid of it just came home with another new Lexus...thank God!!

I got a '97 Sierra with the 5.7 Vortec. Love it!

[nathantoth]

Silverado is a trim package. If the badge said cheyanne it usually has black bumper plain seats.

[robcrossan]

Being about 5 yrs old I remember my dad pulling up in his 94 1500 2wd. Silver with blue ghost flames and a cowl hood, SS wheels...I think that's why I like cars . And years later it was my first vehicle, drove it for 6 or 7 years.. then I put a restored frame under it, professionally fixed the cab, still has the original 350 and faded paintjob. Love these trucks shes taken me to kindergarten and college...

[iamagrhunter]

That’s what I’m driving right now and it has 310, 000 miles on it. Burns very little oil.

[ptimal]

I got one. Bought it about 6 years ago, have done quite a few non motor repairs on it but did them all myself and pretty cheaply. Got the tranny rebuilt two years ago for $650-$700, it's worked perfect ever since. What's impressed me the most is the motor, at about 250k miles it still runs good as ever. Great trucks, also great for anyone who wants to do their own maintenance/repairs but isn't necessarily a mechanic.

[InterstateRaziTV]

Scotty is the type of guy to rev up his engine

[rosemunn]

Yes, they are the best, I know so from my '96 Chev 1500 4X4 ext cab, 5.0 V8, perfect, owned last 10 years, someone smashed me, now I have a '98. 5.7V8 same as my last one. The prices have gone up over the last two years. You could buy one decent for $2, 000, now the same thing is $5, 000 to $12, 000 on average in Canadian dollars.. Yes, 500, 000 is easy for these. You can buy all kinds of after markets for it. Such a comfortable reliable truck. You really know your stuff Scotty, thanks!

[aidenbaker]

What I've heard is, the reason the transmission tend to go bad is because everyone is hauling in overdrive instead of regular drive

[carlv]

Good video, Scotty. Southern Calif here, and I have a pristine '95 GMC Yukon with this same old-school cast-iron 350 with throttle body injection set-up. I now have 218k miles on its original engine and trans; both of which still haven't been rebuilt, or even as much as a valve cover removed since it left the Janesville, WI factory for shipment to California. Besides all the usual & customary maintenance, i.e. brakes, tires, exhaust, suspension components, cooling system, hoses, etc., this vehicle has been absolutely trouble-free and low-maintenance. I've considered selling it for a newer one, but always have a change-of-heart because it's been so good and faithful to me.
