Just picked up a 99 K3500 dually crew cab a couple weeks ago. I love it so far. Well almost everything. The 454 sure does like gas

[danktank]

I have the same truck 2 years now. No plans on every selling it.

Mint 2000 crew cab, 8 ft bed, 454(L29) fresh paint with ceramic coating. Been trying find 6inch lift no luck. 18 on 35's or 37's. Chuck Norris it out ! 💪🏽

I absolutely LOVE my ‘98 GMC K3500 454 manual 1 ton long bed dually (4x4 obviously, hence the K in K3500 not the C3500) Mines black with the maroon interior, looks like yours except mine is an extended cab..but she’s only a 2 door though. The ext cab doesn’t open up. F**king work horse! She has 107, 000 original miles and I am the second owner. My g-dad bought it brand new in 1998.

love my 1999 but I work it to death and have been through some cv axles more than once. definitely going to install air bags under the rear. thanks for sharing!

So I managed to change the oil pan without pulling the motor. I pulled the mount bolt holding the engine one the mounts, lifted the engine as much as I could without crushing anything. I had to remove the y- pipe because the oil pan wouldn’t come down out with it in place. It took me a lot longer than I wanted to because my gasket alignment skills (without the Fel-Pro snap ups) isn’t all that great. It would’ve been a lot easier with the snap ups. It’s definitely doable tho. Hope this helps!

Edit: my fat thumbs misspell words

[ractaurine]

Man I like your video and you are right it's payed for thumbs up 👍🏾

[Cris_carman]

I’m thinking about getting one and using it as a welding rig

[lawrencehastings]

Put the center console up and you can fit 3 people in front l have a 2001 3500

Is a 98 gmc 3500 454 worth getting for 3500 with 143k miles?

[darknessriot]

The 454 vortec should be about 300hp with about 350ish ft lbs of torque.

I see you have the camper battery option. Could you show a picture of where the battery cables connect to on that drivers side battery ?

[nickdial]

I'm shocked that this only has a tow rating of 10, 000 pounds, my Chevy avalanche will tow 8, 000 pounds and it's not a heavy duty.

What's going on here, did the towing capacity just significantly increase after the 2000s?

[danielr.]

I plan on getting a 1999 k3500 454 cclb srw, going to have my lance camper about 3k lbs and on occasion tow my 1985 4runner with 37s roll cage, some wood, gear, gas in the trailer you know camping offroading stuff, but im thinking with the rear air bags, rear sway bar, front disc brakes conversion im wondering how it would hold up, safety being most important im in the so cal area so mountains and hills are a thing, what would be you input i would appreciate it, not trying to go "fast" but safe and under control.

[bullnoseMafia]

If you need a flatbed still I have one on the truck identical but I need a box maybe we can trade

[omyota]

What RPM are you spinning at freeway speeds? I have your truck's Chevy twin, and I'm not convinced my transmission is actually hitting overdrive, or maybe the lockup converter isn't doing it's job. Also haven't crunched the numbers to see what I should be spinning, maybe that'd be a good first step for me lol.

[kjo]

Where did you find the front bench seat or would you find ?

[tnasituning]

What does this get for fuel mileage compared to the 6.5 ltr diesel engine???

[alvinhurd]

[PhonsRoberson]
